The Web page that is displayed in Microsoft Internet Explorer is changed before you can install the application. | Quickly click the Information Bar in Internet Explorer. You are still redirected to a Web page that says that you are running an incorrect version of Internet Explorer.

| Microsoft | Baseline Security Analyzer 1.2.1 | In Group Policy, the application does not notify the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF). | By default, one option that is selected for MBSA is the "Check for Windows Vulnerabilities" option. Another option that is also checked when the scan is completed and the "Check for Windows Vulnerabilities" option is selected, is for Windows Firewall to be managed by Group Policy. After you install Windows Server 2003 SP1 and you run MBSA on that computer, even if Windows Firewall is managed by Group Policy, the MBSA scan results will not detect or report that Windows Firewall is managed by Group Policy. The problem is that MBSA is looking for certain registry keys, such as the EnableFirewall registry key, and those keys are different for Windows Firewall in Windows Server 2003 and Windows Firewall/ICF in Windows XP SP2 so when MBSA looks for the key it does not find any policy values. |
