Manual remediation notes
1. While an infrequent occurrence, patches may be recalled due to newly discovered vulnerabilities or problems caused by the installation of these updates such as conflict issues with present software or hardware. Examples of updates recalled by the manufacturer include patches MS03–045 and MS03–047 for Exchange that were released by Microsoft® on October 15, 2006.
2. Ensure that the NetBIOS service is enabled on the remote target computer. For more information refer to Configuring NetBIOS.
