Hello,
how can it be a security issue if not launching it ?
Off course it's better to have up-to-date binaries, but i am not aware of any issue with windows media player on server if not using it (directly or through internet explorer)

Hi,
Windows Media Player ver 11 has been out for a while now and I've yet to see a version that will install on Windows Server 2003.
Eventually (if not already), Microsoft will undoubtedly stop creating security patches for Media Player ver 10 (which is installed on 2K3 by default) and this concerns me that I may have a big security risk looming on my servers.
If Microsoft has abandoned Media Player on 2K3 thus leaving it to defend itself, shouldn't there be a mandatory patch to force its deinstallation?
Any thoughts?
