Hi Connie,
The IIS April Security Rollup is one of the most important packages to have
installed (if not the most important, some may argue). A quick and easy
way to check whether you have all available patches is to install and run
the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer. Not only will it check for
patches installed, it will also dynamically check for the most up-to-date
patches available from Microsoft, and will check for a multitude of other
security related settings and options. I recommend running this tool on a
regular basis, as it will do a check online every time you run in for newly
available downloads.
You can find out more about the MBSA here:

Thanks,
Michael Laing

| I'm in the planning stages of setting up an intranet for
| our company, and am wondering if I have all the patches
| covered for securing IIS 5. I'm using a Win 2000 Pro
| machine,SP2 and I will be converting from FAT to NTFS
| first thing.
|
| My most current patch is from June '02 and I have the
| April '02 cumulative patch for IIS installed also along
| with 8 other misc. win2000 patches.
|
| Have I missed any critical patches?
| thanks!
