INF: SQL Server 2000 SQL Check Utility (814461)

SUMMARY

The SQL Server 2000 SQL Check Utility (SQL Check) scans a computer for instances of SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server Desktop Engine (also known as MSDE 2000) that are vulnerable to the Slammer worm.

SQL Check runs on computers that are running Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition, Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Microsoft Windows 2000 and Microsoft Windows XP. On computers that are running Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows XP, SQL Check stops and disables the SQL Server and SQL Server Agent services. On computers that are running Windows 98 and Windows Millennium Edition, it identifies vulnerable instances but does not stop or disable any services.

SQL Check has been bundled as a separate download for those users who do not want to download all of the security kit, but just want a light-weight tool that will help them detect if the instances of SQL Server on their computer are vulnerable to the Slammer worm.
