I have two thoughts on this:
1. Always keep your servers up-to-date with the latest security fixes for any installed applications, that are an *immeadiate* security risk - otherwise: wait for public opinion, test locally with non-critical equipment, wait some more, maybe think about it. AKA if it aint broke, dont try to fix it. 2. Never, ever, ever allow browsing from your servers. -- ME2 On Tue, Mar 15, 2011 at 2:01 PM, Malcolm Reitz <malcolm.re...@live.com>wrote: > We are updating our Windows Server 2008 R2 build to include Service Pack > 1.
