Thanks for the post. I applied the patch already.

I have to say, it's nice that the patches are easy to apply, but it's hell trying to build a server up from scratch. (Even with Windows Update it's a pain.)

I'm running SQL Server 2000, IIS 5, VS .NET, .NET matrix, etc., so there are numerous updates one has to perform in order to have a stable and secure system.

I really hope that Windows 2003 tackles these security problems IN THE FIRST RELEASE and not in patches.

Indeed. I currently have two Win 2k clusters running SQL 2k, Exch 2k, IIS 5, and various file shares. Rebuilding them from scratch is a pain!
