Then block inbound connections to that server at the firewall. Or download
the patches to another protected system and "floppy net" or "cd net" to get
the patches. It also doesn't have to be online while formatting a hard
drive. Shut down the web services (and all other servers) until fully
patched, etc etc
There are just so many ways to avoid leaving an unsecured server on the
public network that it shouldn't happen.

Kevin,
read my post: In my situation, I had to put the server online to get access
to the patches. Maybe MS should be mailing these services packs out the way
AOL sends out free access promo CD's <G>.

Please

Don't take this the wrong way, but why was your server on a public network
before it was ready?

Last night I am building a test box for 2000 AD. I had to format a 2nd
drive to load AD and stuff. It was going to take a while so I left and
went
home. When I got in this morning, I had messages from other people saying
that they had got the code red. I hadn't even got to the updates yet.
What
a pain! So now I am rebuilding. Will other people please fix this. It is
such a pain, our logs are filled with hundreds of ip addresses trying to
infect us. We got spam abuse, why can't we have a place that puts people's
ip in for not fixing their virus problems!
