***Warning*** This patch had broken terminal services connections Windows NT Terminal Server. Uninstalling the patch did not fix the problem and a restore from back-up was required. An additional option is to disable the DCOM function in the registry. This does not affect terminal service and may prevent this vulnerability from functioning. To do this, search the registry for "EnableDCOM" and change the field code from "Y" to "N". A reboot is required for this to take effect.
