You mean the dcpromo.log thing? No, all it does it mitigate the
problem once you have got it, so that you can fix it.
Hi
Actually, the dcpromo.log thing will make your computer immune to
the Sasser worm, so you can use it as a workaround to avoid being
infected by Sasser if you are not able to have the security update
MS04-011/KB835732 installed.
The dcpromo.log trick that was added to the MS04-011 security bulletin
some days ago, as a workaround to close the LSASS vulnerability.

V1.3 May 4, 2004: Added new information in the Workarounds section
for the LSASS Vulnerability.

Note that 835732 in addition closes 13 other vulnerabilities,
the dcpromo.log trick does not add any protection for those.
