Turns out that because they had not installed IIS, they did not patch the system....

Isn't it nice that M$ is so helpful?
I think that the point's been well-made now. Win2Kpro hosts need to run the patches, regardless of whether or not anyone *thinks* that host is running IIS and regardless of any nit-picky arguments against the need. NetAdmins should quit whining and do their jobs. I still LOVE this sig-line....
