Can anyone confirm this? On an NT4 server (maybe workstation too, I don't have it to try),
if you telnet to port 135, type a bunch of junk (say 10-20 characters), hit enter and disconnect,
the server's processor utilization will go up to 100%!!! The only fix I found was to reboot.
I tried with and without SP2.....same result. The installation is 'out of the box' with standard
default install options, of course including TCP/IP. I have no other NT4 servers to try this on
and was wondering if I could get someone to try and confirm this .....
Luck
