This message is posted in the Server security groups also I was directed to
come here. It is posted exactly the same and with the ecaxt same title.

Hello,

I have never been under attack before however I am getting this in my W2k3
event viewer

The server has detected a potential Denial-of-Service attack caused by
consuming all the work-items. Some connections were disconnected to protect
against this. If this is not the case, please raise the MaxWorkItems for the
server or disable DoS detection. This event will not be logged again for 24
hours.

The event ID is 2027

I do not know if I am my webs are up and accessible. What is MaxWorkItems?
Thank you
Joe
