MBlaster Virus Blocks Outlook WAN Access????

[Ken Pearson]

Ever since the attacks of the MSBlaster Virus our WAN users have had to user
Outlook Web Access to access their email on our Exchange Server.



I am aware of many ISPs blocking Port 135 to contain the virus, and as a
result this has crippled remote Outlook users.



Questions

1.. Is there a work around?
2.. Has anyone heard how long this could/should/would last?


Thank you and best regards,



Ken

1) Use a VPN or OWA or an OWA substitute (see http://www.slipstick.com/exs/owa.htm#tools)

2) My guess is forever.
