Thank you... One would certainly think applying SP2 and keeping Auto Update downloading patches would include this. Perhaps it does - I am beginning to wonder if our scanning firm just tosses these "remedies" out pre-canned...
Example - one "remedy" is to apply KB2562485. Apparently, this is for DNS servers only. None of the machines in question are (or should be!) DNS servers. FUN! From: Michael B.

It's normally packaged as an EXE or MSU (depending on the Windows version). Not as a CAB. Running Windows Update on Server 2003/2003R2 or applying SP2 on Server 2008 should include it.

We have "been advised" to apply a certain patch to a couple of our servers MIP'd out through our firewall. The patch in question is: Windows6.0-KB967723-x86.cab Now that I have it copied onto these servers, how does one actually apply a "patch" which arrives as a .CAB file? In "Explorer", the .CAB file "opens" by listing a lot of files with no extensions (probably hidden in Win7) and Manifests. Thanks! -- Richard D.
