Over the past few months a lot of information about Microsoft NT vulnerabilities has surfaced from both the Commercial and Private sectors of the internet. Steve Gibson of grc.com has a nifty little tool that will check for patches applied to NT servers running Internet Information Server to see whether the appropriate patches have been applied to them accordingly.
