In light of what I am sure we are all looking at over the next several months have folks considered or put in place automated mechanisms that shut down internet services and internet mail ? I am thinking that as is often the case we are waiting for sig files from multiple AV vendors especially during the we hours of the morning and that it would be prudent to have the ability or policy in place that shuts internet access and pipe off during off hours. I realize in multi time zone and large organization you don't have a china mans chance to get mgt to make this policy, but in smaller firms this would potentially assist in keeping the flood of crap at the door while we/you dotted your is and crossed those Ts. Any thoughts and existing efforts would be great to here about --------------------------------------------- R Jones http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm
