This is what I have always thought as well. All my Exchange servers are dedicated as well as task dedicated within Exchange as well. However, when Klez came calling we did get some hits on the Exchange servers through their default shares. There didnt seem to be any damage, but I was then called to task as to why we dont do it.
Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Lefkovics" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, August 30, 2002 8:10 PM Subject: RE: Server Protect on an Exchange Server > Did he say why?
