Windowsupdates for NAS boxes
Hello,
I just purchased a Dell 725 NAS box. I loved it, until I ran Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer. When I did that, it showed several critical patches that needed to be installed (the one that fixed the SLAMMER worm of 2 years ago was one of them). When I called Dell, they told me, among other things: * Call Microsoft * If you patch it, you will blue screen the device because it does not have a fully functional SQL server on it * It might be vulnerable (no joke, he said that) * and then I was told to call Microsoft. I called Microsoft. One of the many things they told me was: * Call Dell (of course) * That Microsoft Windows Powered was actually Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4. My concern is that there are two sql services running on it, and they are needed in order to use the web management console. Also, should I be going to Windows Update to patch this, or will it possibly create an unstable environment? Any thoughts, or websites you know about would be greatly appreciated. -Scott |
