Hi,

As you all might know uPnP ships by default, disabled in Windows Server 2003. The problem is that I can't find the place where i can enable it, it says to look in Help for instructions on how to enable it but the tab is hidden in the Services/Add Remove Progs.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to enable it.

The reason is that we are behind a Microsoft Wireless Base Station and the stupid thing requires uPnP compatable programs and the service to be installed for it to work properly (DMZ doesn't always work). I believe it was fine with erlier builds but for the final product they decided to shut it off by default and i need to know how to get it back on so i can work easily.

Thanks

Considering it was a large security hole in XP, it would surprise me if they shipped it in a server, especially one they were trying to make more secure.

it was a hole over 18months ago been long sinced patched.

uPnP was removed because you can't really find a need to require this when its only needed for certain desktop applications, like windows messenger.

Any others? i don't think so, none that I know of.

uPNP is destined for more than ms messenger support through routers lol.

Theres some good info.

i know, like duh.

I don't need a microsoft article to explain what it is, thank you. :rolleyes:

Obviously you do, given the only application of uPNP you could identify was 'windows messenger' :)

that MOST Desktop people use. the main program people ask about when they have a router, is MSN / Windows Messenger, how they can't do this or that, behind their NAT.

Therefore, I Associate Windows / MSN Messenger with uPnP. However, uPnP is used for many other functions.

Like i said, i don't need a web page. Thanks. :)

heh you're not convincing me tbh. I posted the URL as a follow up to your post, which seemed to miss the point of uPNP, and your reason for removal was wrong.

It wasn't removed because of a lack of support at all, if anything support will increase. It was removed because its a huge security risk on a server, a server should be a static entity, not something that automatically adjusts itself to the hardware found on the network. Huge potential to cause trouble with it.

//edit: I am assuming it actually WAS removed here. I've not used 2k3 server yet, but its bloody obvious why it would be removed.

    • I'm stumped people think DEI is just a quota and nothing else.
    • Microsoft's AI is highly effective for identifying targets on the battlefield or for firing a lot of workers. 🫤
    • Microsoft AI diagnoses complex medical cases four times better than human doctors by Paul Hill Microsoft AI has revealed that its AI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAI-DxO) is able to correctly diagnose 85% of complex cases from the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) case proceedings. What makes this more impressive is that the cases published in NEJM are very diagnostically complex and intellectually demanding. They typically require multiple specialists and diagnostic tests to reach a definitive diagnosis, so the fact AI can get it right most of the time is a big deal. The MAI-DxO turns language models into a virtual panel of clinicians that is able to ask follow-up questions, order tests, or deliver diagnoses. MAI-DxO boosted the diagnostic performance of every model that was tested by Microsoft, with the best results when it was paired with OpenAI’s o3. When MAI-DxO was using o3, it was able to correctly solve 85.5% of NEJM benchmark cases. Microsoft compared this to humans; it took 21 practicing physicians from the US and UK with 5-20 years of clinical experience, and on the same tasks, they achieved a mean accuracy of just 20% across completed cases. Microsoft believes that these tools can significantly shake up healthcare by empowering patients to self-manage routine aspects of care and equipping clinicians with advanced decision support for complex cases. To find out how AI would perform on the NEJM cases, Microsoft had to create the Sequential Diagnosis Benchmark (SD Bench) which transforms 304 recent NEJM cases into stepwise diagnostic encounters. Models can then iteratively ask questions and order tests. As new information becomes available, the model will update its reasoning and gradually move toward a final diagnosis which can be compared to what was published in the NEJM. As mentioned before, the MAI-DxO system emulates a virtual panel of physicians that is able to ask follow-up questions, order tests, or deliver diagnoses. Aside from this, it can operate within defined cost constraints to help prevent excessive testing. While Microsoft’s experiment is showing very promising results, this research is just a first step. Before generative AI can be used safely in healthcare scenarios, more evidence needs to be gathered from real clinical environments. There also need to be appropriate governance and regulatory frameworks to make sure models are reliable and safe. To accomplish all of this, Microsoft is partnering with health organizations to test and validate its approaches before any broader rollout.
