No offense, but doesn't this tell you what the solution is? Patch the out-dated machines. They're open to countless security flaws by now. All 2k boxen should be running SP4 by now - it's only been out a couple of years... Beyond that, I can't say anything, but really, look into updating the boxen to sp4.

An eye is upon you, staring straight down and keenly through, seeing all that you are and everything that you will never be. Yes, an eye is upon you, an eye ready to blink. So face forward, with arms wide open and mind reeling. Your future has arrived...
