Thx for that -
Just to clarify - so it targets NT Server - NOT NT Workstation - right?

All NT4 and NT5 versions and all PCs running IIS ... Check to see if you're running IIS, if so you will need the patch otherwise I don't think it's necessary. Most PCs today with or without NT will be running IIS because it is essential for some software to work properly with some online devices. You can also find out more information from - http://www.wired.com/ about the Code Red Worm.

I definitely noticed a difference on the Internet this morning.

Some sites (like this one) were about the same, but many other sites, including some car-related ones, were missing, ran slow, or had links to blank pages.

Things started to improve by mid-day.

We have about 7,000 users down nation-wide. What fun this has been. Companies like the one I work for love when things go wrong.
