[WhatsUp Forum] Windows Server 2003 SP1

[Rodney . Cameron]

I was seeing if anyone is seeing an issues with Windows Server 2003 SP1 and might have a fix.  The issue we are seeing is after SP1 is installed on Windows Server 2003 we get alerts showing all services stopped.  They are actually started.  I currently have a case open with support.  Below is information on SP1.

Here are some services being monitored.
McAfee Framework Service  
DNS Client  
Microsoft Web Proxy  
DHCP Client  
Remote Procedure Call  
Microsoft ISA Server Control  
Network Associates McShield

Service Pack 1 improves security around DCOM and RPC. RPC (with DCOM built upon it) is fundamentally a means to remotely call, activate, or launch a program on another computerânaturally a desirable ability for hackers! SP1 defends against this avenue of attack by checking every activation or launch of a program against a computer-wide access control list (ACL). This usage of the computer-wide ACL provides a minimum authorization standard for all program calls on a computer, discriminating between who has and who does not have permission to access a system service.

Any information would be appreciated.
