Lsass hijack?
Hmm,
Various Lsass vulnerabilities were addressed in Microsoft Security Updates as far back as August 2004, whilst I would accept that this is possibly what has happened, the most famous lsass attack, that of the Sasser worm did not require a reload of the OS and the shutting down can be prevented by using the cmd shutdown -A.
I will give Eukhost the benefit of the doubt here and wish them a speedy reload.
I have loaded a Windows 2003 server this morning in my office in Cardigan, it took 47 minutes to load from the Windows 2003 master CD's and I am now installing the Microsoft secuirty patches, prior to loading the various components such as ASP Email, Asp Jpeg and Asp Upload. I will then restore the backup of the customer's data my eta is still 1pm. I hope Eukhost are just as quick.
I and my customers wait in anticipation.
