      Resources for Combating the Slammer Worm
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    DETAILS

    Microsoft is working to help customers secure their networks against the
    Slammer worm. Software tools and other resources designed to help secure
    installations of Microsoft® SQL Server™ and the Microsoft SQL Server
    Desktop Engine 2000 (MSDE 2000) will be linked from this page as they
    become available.

    SQL Server 2000 SQL Scan Tool (SQL Scan)
    This utility scans an individual computer, a Windows domain, or a range of
    IP addresses for instances of SQL Server 2000 and MSDE 2000, and
    identifies instances that may be vulnerable to the Slammer worm. SQL Scan
    runs on computers running Windows 2000 or higher and can identify
    instances running on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP.

    SQL Check
    SQL Check scans the computer on which it is running for instances of SQL
    Server 2000 and MSDE 2000 those are vulnerable to the Slammer worm. SQL
    Check runs on computers running Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0,
    Windows 2000, and Windows XP. On computers running Windows NT 4.0, Windows
    2000, and Windows XP it stops and disables the SQL Server and SQL Agent
    services. On computers running Windows 98 and Windows ME it identifies
    vulnerable instances but does not stop or disable any services.

    SQL Critical Update
    SQL Critical Update scans the computer on which it is running for
    instances of SQL Server 2000 and MSDE 2000 those are vulnerable to the
    Slammer worm, automatically updating the affected files. SQL Critical
    Update runs on computers running Windows NT 4.0 or higher. SQL Critical
    Update will not run on Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows ME.
