February 2005 Entries
Looking forward to Exchange Connections

Since this seems to be the year where I meet one professional goal after another, I took the next step in my plan of world domination and submitted proposals to speak at the Fall 2005 Exchange Connections conference in San Diego. Here are the sessions I proposed:

  • Preventing Sender Domain Spoofing with Sender ID
  • Using AD/AM for Edge Mail Sanitation
  • Maintaining a Custom DNS Blocklist
  • Solution Accelerator for Consolidation and Migration: One Year Later
  • Using UNIX solutions with Exchange
  • Workshop on UNIX solutions with Exchange

It will be interesting to see which ones are accepted (if any); they won't accept me as a speaker unless they take at least three of my sessions. I am looking foward to seeing how this plays out.

Important new patch

Time to patch again! MS05-012 (Vulnerability in OLE and COM Could Allow Remote Code Execution (873333)) has been released for pretty much every version of Windows, Office, and Exchange, since they all use the component. It's rated severe, so don't wait; grab it now, get it into testing, and get it into production.

Note that if you're using the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) faithfully, you probably already know about this patch. If you're not running version 1.2.1, go download that and start using it. It helps you figure out exactly what you need.

And if you were using Software Update Services (SUS) or its currently in beta replacement Windows Update Services (WUS), you'd automatically be notified about this patch and be able to control deployment throughout your organization.
