Also, use QCHAIN with multiple OS hotfixes if not rebooting between each one. (OS hotfixes only - QCHAIN does squat for other hotfixes like IE and Office fixes.)

IE 5.5 SP2 was supposed to close the hole that nimda exploits when you go to an infected site. -----Original Message----- From: Szlucha, Chris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 9:59 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: Ideal order of SP's, patches, etc. If he got nailed with NIMDA, then McAfee wasn't running or up-to-date, as you stated. If it was running correctly, and all the options were set right, then it shouldn't have nailed him. It's not the order of your installations, but the functionality and possibly the settings of McAfee. And maybe the choices made during the use of the III lockdown tool. One thing though, after installing any software, the last thing you should do is re-apply your service packs and hotfixes. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Levis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 9:45 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: Ideal order of SP's, patches, etc. Mornin' So I set up a laptop (win2k) for a user here, and he needed IIS on it (to do demos for clients). Here's the order I followed: 1- Clean install of OS 2- Added/Removed Windows components and services as needed (ie, add IIS, remove FTP, etc) 3- Ran SP2 4- Ran MS's IIS lockdown tool 5- Ran Pre-SP3 patches and hotfixes (Q285851, Q287397, Q301625 IIS Rollup) 6- Installed McAffee and got the latest engine and dats 7- Installed a coffee. This particular user dialed up to his ISP and got nailed with nimdA and I'm fraught with feelings of guilt. Did I get the order wrong?
