04/28/2004 02:43 PMThe Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system includes an
implementation of the Internet Engineering Task Force’s Internet
Protocol security (IPSec). IPSec, which is also included in Windows
2000 and Windows XP, provides network managers with a key line of
defense in protecting their networks. IPSec exists below the Transport
layer, so its security services are transparently inherited by
applications. IPSec provides the protections of data integrity, data
origin authentication, data confidentiality, and replay protection
without having to upgrade applications or train users.

11/04/2003 11:37 PMDirectX 9.0b was released on 7/23/03 to address the MIDI security
issue identified in bulletin MS03-030. A small number of non-security
fixes were also included in the release. One of these fixes caused
several TV Tuner capture card/driver combinations using video formats
other than NTSC (NTSC-J, PAL, SECAM) to no longer initialize correctly
on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. Symptoms include
loss of capture functionality and potential inability to set/retain
device capture settings. This hotfix, documented further in Knowledge
Base article 825116, has been issued to correct the flaw.
11-04-03 update: The English hotfix package has been modified to allow
patching of all language installations supported by the affected
Operating Systems.

Microsoft issues Windows Server 2003
update blocking tool
Microsoft issues Windows Server 2003
update blocking tool
06/22/2005 02:56 AMMicrosoft on Tuesday released a blocking tool for corporate users
that will prevent the automatic download of the first service pack for
Windows Server 2003.
Microsoft provided a similar blocking tool when Windows XP SP2 was
released. The tool allowed companies to keep using Automatic Updates
while they decided on if, how and when they would upgrade to XP
SP2.
The new blocking tool, which works with a registry key, a script or
a group policy setting in Active Directory, will prevent the automatic
download of Windows Server 2003 SP1 through Microsoft’s online patch
download services, Automatic Update, Windows Update or the newly
launched Microsoft Update.
Those services automatically bring security and other patches down
to the operating systems and installs them. During the release of XP
SP2, Microsoft caused an uproar among users, especially those in the
higher education community, when it decided to deliver the service
pack through its automatic update services. Just months earlier,
Microsoft had said it would not do that. Users were concerned because
XP SP2 was not compatible with some desktop applications. No such
similar concerns, however, surround Windows Server 2003 SP1.
But most corporate users do not have updates automatically
installed on desktops and certainly not servers because it would not
allow for proper testing before deployment. But during the XP SP2
fiasco, even Microsoft was surprised how many corporate users had
activated Automatic Updates on their corporate desktops.
Most companies use Microsoft’s System Management Server, Windows
Server Update Services or third-party patch management tools to
control patch downloads and distribution.
“There are more people than you would expect with [auto updates]
turned on at the server,” says Samm DiStasio, director of product
management for the Windows Server division. “We are just trying to
make sure the tool is available well in advance of us turning on
automatic updates. But let’s be clear, this is a tool for blocking
automatic updates. You can still install SP1 on their servers if you
have the disk or you want to download the bits on your own.”
Windows Server 2003 SP1 was officially released on March 30,
however, its availability over the Web is slated for July 26.
The new blocking tools, which will keep Windows Server 2003 SP1 off
the automatic update cycle until March 30, 2006, has three components:
a Microsoft signed executable, a script and an ADM template.
The executable creates a registry key with a switch that will block
or unblock the download of the service pack while allowing all other
patches and fixes to be downloaded. The key used is called
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate.
The script will do the same thing as the registry key, but
Microsoft says it allows users to specify a block or unblock on a
specific machine name.
Microsoft also issued a warning saying “the executable and script
have been tested only as command-line tools and not in conjunction
with other systems management tools or remote execution
mechanisms.
The third option is the ADM template, which works in conjunction
with Active Directory’s group policy technology. The template
includes new group policy settings to block or unblock delivery of the
service pack.
Microsoft also noted that Windows Server 2003 SP1 requires users to
accept and initiate its installation so even if the service pack is
automatically downloaded it must be explicitly accepted and installed
by a server administrator.
