Personally I am getting tired of people making these kinds of comments.  It
is obvious that these people have never had responsibility for a
large-scale, multi-national enterprise environment that touches so many
different organizations world-wide that it is nearly impossible to account
for every single Internet access point (not to mention remote access and
mobile computers).  While it may be true that blocking port 135 at the
firewall would work in an ideal environment, very few of us that deal with
security matters in the real world have anything that even begins to
approach an ideal environment.  We need to be discussing real solutions to
real problems, not verbalizing a continued ignorance of reality.  Sorry for
the rant, but this topic is getting old quickly!     

Thank you for your time and attention,
