Where was the testing? (Hopefully these are test servers). This was released about 4 hours ago. 2. Is IE used on servers to browse the Internet? Could this not wait until regularly scheduled maint windows? -----Original Message----- From: Micheal Espinola Jr [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 2:03 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: 0-day IE Exploit "in the wild" - Update is available now I'd do it anyways as a best practice. But perhaps just nothing was using those files at the time of the patch. But I'd still force a reboot for this one. -- ME2 On Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 2:53 PM, Sean Rector <[email protected]> wrote: > 6 of my 10 servers didn't require a reboot.
