Win2K boxen are ALWAYS running IIS. It doesn't matter whether you have Pro or Server. ALL Win2K systems need to run the patch. MSFT chose to integrate much of the IIS stuff into DLLs with other system critical stuff. As a result, IIS can't be completely removed without killing off other critical functions. Yes, what they proved in court is even more true with Win2K than with Win98 (Duh! MSFT didn't lie, but they didn't tell the whole truth either). WinXP is even more in that direction, from all reports.
I admit to knowing very little about Win2k, but on the only box I've installed Win2k on, it doesn't *appear* to be running:
Port State Protocol Service 135 open tcp loc-srv 139 filtered tcp netbios-ssn 445 open tcp microsoft-ds 1025 open tcp list
...unless it runs on one of those 3 other open ports? This was Win2k Client, not server, BTW...perhaps you mean every Win2k Server?
Have you installed a Win2K Domain (Active Directory)?

No...this is strictly for a user that needs a more stable and robust Windoze client than ME or 98 offers... James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc. CEO and Janitor up@3.am http://3.am =========================================================================
