SQL Server Critical Update
Wizard for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and Microsoft SQL Server
Desktop Engine (MSDE) 2000.
The SQL Server Critical Update Wizard will scan Microsoft
SQL Server 2000 and MSDE 2000 to help detect instances vulnerable
to the "Slammer" worm, and will attempt to update
the affected files.
The SQL Server Critical Update Wizard will update editions
of Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and MSDE 2000 that are vulnerable
to the Slammer worm. All versions of the SQL Server 2000
Evaluation Edition can also be updated with the SQL Critical
Update Wizard. However, the Evaluation Edition can not be
updated using SP3. MSDE 2000 ships with several Microsoft
products, including Office XP. For a complete list of products
that ship MSDE 2000, visit the Microsoft Products that include
MSDE 2000 Web page.
The SQL Critical Update Wizard was developed specifically
for the home and small business user, though enterprise
customers may also download and deploy the wizard to their
internal customers. The SQL Critical Update Wizard will
walk you through the steps of detecting a vulnerability
to Slammer and updating the affected files. SQL Critical
Update Wizard runs on Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT
4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Please see Knowledge Base

If you want to install SQL Critical Update on a cluster,
use the SQL Critical Update tool instead of the wizard.

Update or if you need more flexibility in detecting and
