| Hi,
Not So...
When I do my updating I do them all manually,and very,very seldom do I have to validate them!
If you had followed that link,you would have seen that it requires/needs to have the genuine MS windows validation in order to install it...Far different from most of there updates.
But...I am still not sure of what actually this update will accomplish..

The KB hasn't been released yet. That is not unusual. Wait a day or two for it.
I don't want it because I only do security patches that do NOT require validation.

Topic Last Modified: 2005-05-18
The authentication and security benefits of using RPC over HTTP are the following:
* You do not have to allow any Internet ports other than those you already allow for Microsoft® Office Outlook® Web Access, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync®, or Outlook Mobile Access.
* You must use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
* Outlook must send authenticated requests.
* Both the RPC proxy server and the Exchange server authenticate Outlook requests that use RPC over HTTP.
* You do not expose the end point mapper.
* Client computers can access only specified Exchange services on specified Exchange servers.
HTTP Authentication
Internet Information Services (IIS) on the RPC proxy server controls the HTTP session authentication. When you configure the RPC proxy server, you must set the RPC virtual directory to use Basic authentication, NTLM authentication, or both Basic authentication and NTLM authentication. Outlook can send either Basic authentication or NTLM authentication for the HTTP session, depending on how you have configured the Outlook profile. The RPC proxy server Internet Server API (ISAPI) does not accept anonymously authenticated connections. »technet.microsoft.com/en-us/libr···%29.aspx
This can help you understand a little more but I took the plunge and updated.  |

kudos:4 | said by art22gg:Mele20, Didn,t understand your post, re: not been released yet....it is available for DL if you want/need it.. Art The Knowledge Base Bulletin has NOT yet been released. This is how Microsoft usually proceeds. They release an Update/Security patch, etc to LATER being followed by a KB article. With crucial security patches, usually the KB follows very quickly but with Moderate or Important patches and fixes like this one the KB may be days or weeks later. So, yes, you can download the update now but you asked what it does. You have to wait for the KB to know what it does.

kudos:4 | You got an answer dated 2005. If that works for you fine. For me, I would wait for a CURRENT answer from Microsoft, not one that old, but that is just me.
