If Windows Update is Off, Install Emergency Security Update
October 24, 2008 — Philip ChurchillMicrosoft has released an emergency security update that fixes a critical security hole that is already being exploited in the wild. It fixes a remote code execution vulnerability in the Windows Server Service, which affects WHS as well as other operating systems including XP and Vista.
This is the first time in 18 months that Microsoft has released an emergency security update "out of band" (not on the regular Patch Tuesday).
On Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003 and Windows Home Server anonymous users with access to the target network could exploit the weakness by sending a specially crafted network packet to the affected system. Microsoft has rated the vulnerability as "critical" – its most severe designation – for those versions.
The MS patch will be installed automatically via Windows/Microsoft Update on WHS. If you have Windows Update turned off, then due to the serious nature of the vulnerability install the new MS patch manually without hesitation.
Be aware that this update requires a restart of Windows Home Server.

Add-In: AutoExit 2008 R2
October 24, 2008 — Philip ChurchillNick from the add-in AutoExit has been in touch to let us know that R2 of the 2008 version is now available for download.
Nick says that the beta program of AutoExit is nearly finished and this should be the last version before releasing the final.
New features:
- WOL Server from client automatically. Waking up the server can now be done
from every client automatically, so that when a client wakes up, the server
is woken up.
Changes:
- A few small additions in the guideline.
- The balloon tip for the client that pops up after startup, has been
removed. - WOL Server didn’t always work, this is fixed.
- Installer supports more languages.
- When a machine was upgraded, it is displayed twice in the list (which is
normal), but it couldn’t be shut down because AutoExit gave a message that
the machine was offline. This has been fixed.
The latest version is available from here.
