attempted intrusion?

hi, I just installed and configured apache for the first time today, and
this evening I was reviewing my access log, and I saw this...

62.31.250.64 - - [11/Jul/2003:14:52:33 +0100] "GET
/scripts/..%255c..%255cwinnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+copy+c:\\winnt\\system32\\c
md.exe+c:\\inetpub\\scripts\\script.exe HTTP/1.1" 404 333

does anyone what this is, what it means, and moreover, is it serious? i'm
quite new to this. any help would be much appreciated.

thanks
