Microsoft has released a critical security update for Internet Explorer. This security update resolves seven privately reported vulnerabilities and one publicly disclosed vulnerability in Internet Explorer. The more severe vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted Web page using Internet Explorer. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
This security update is rated Critical for all supported releases of Internet Explorer: Internet Explorer 5.01, Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1, Internet Explorer 7, and Internet Explorer 8 (except Internet Explorer 6 for supported editions of Windows Server 2003).
The security update addresses these vulnerabilities by modifying the way that Internet Explorer handles objects in memory, validates input parameters, and filters HTML attributes.
Recommendation: The majority of customers have automatic updating enabled and will not need to take any action because this security update will be downloaded and installed automatically. Customers who have not enabled automatic updating need to check for updates and install this update manually.

Microsoft has announced that Windows Server 2003 R2 will be retired from Mainstream Support on Tuesday, July 13th, 2010. After that date, the Operating System is scheduled to be moved into Extended Support. Extended Support will continue until July 14th, 2015.
Extended Support generically means that “no-charge” support options are no longer available and that Microsoft no longer provides new non-security hotfixes. Essentially this means that customers will need to open up paid support cases to obtain support for Server 2003 R2 after July 13th.
ZAG strongly recommends that customers look into upgrading to Server 2008 R2. Server 2008 R2, the second major release of this offering, has significant benefits over 2003. It is truly a strong offering that ZAG has deployed to both large enterprises and small businesses. Please feel free to contact us to discuss the options around Microsoft Server 2003.
