I know this is slightly off topic, but since most people are running CF Server on top of WinNT or Win2000, it's highly relevant. CERT believes that "Code Red is likely to start spreading again on July 31, 2001, 8:00 PM EDT and has mutated so that it may be even more dangerous. " If you are running a Windows NT, or Windows 2000 server and have not patched your system, or removed Index Server mappings from IIS to protect yourself, you need to take immediate action, and either patch your servers yourself, or inform the proper IS / IT people so that the servers can be patched. Here's the official CERT advisory - http://www.cert.org/archive/html/coderedannounce.html Here's the URL to the patch - Windows NT version 4.0: http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/Release.asp?ReleaseID=30833 Windows 2000 Professional, Server and Advanced Server: http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/Release.asp?ReleaseID=30800 Idiot Proof Directions on How to Install the Patch - http://www.digitalisland.net/codered/ MS's Security Bulletin - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/secur ity/bulletin/MS01-033.asp Please, patch your systems! Don't be lazy about this, don't procrastinate, just do it!
