RE: [MLUG] XP XP2

Well considering that the Firewall has an option to block connections from
other computers when you launch the Microsoft Management Center (MMC) I
would tend to think remote configuration is affected. IN fact I know that
products like SMS that allow you to configure and manage software packages
on remote machines are affected by this patch. 

Microsoft has published work-arounds for these things, on their list of 47
broken applications.

I think SP2 has a little more work to go. I also think there will need to be
a patch for Server 200 and 2003 for active directory. It is going to be
important that network administrators be able to control this with Active
Directory and group policy.
