How To Tell If The RPC Patch Is Installed

I thought it might be useful to know how to tell if the RPC patch (Microsoft Security Flaw Patch) has been installed.

Open Control Panel (Usually Start-Control Panel). Then select Add/Remove Programs. A list of installed programs will appear. If the proper file listed below is shown the patch has been installed on this machine.

Windows 2000 (Server or Workstation)
Windows 2000 Hotfix KB823980

Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2003 Hotfix KB823980

Windows XP
Windows XP Hotfix KB823980

Windows NT 4.0 (Server or Workstation)
Windows NT 4.0 Hotfix (See KB823980 for more details)


If these items do not appear you MUST get the patch installed! Remember that there are no patches for Windows 95/98 and ME doesn't seem to exist.
