Based on the eamil below what would happen if people
running this would install the sql2kdesk.exe patch???

You are receiving this email because you have been
identified as a beta tester of the Microsoft .NET
Framework SDK 1.1 Beta. This email contains critical
information for users of the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK
1.1 Beta. Users of the non-"SDK" ("Runtime"
or "Redist")") version of the .NET Framework 1.1 Beta may
ignore this communiqué.

 

 

The .NET Framework SDK 1.1 Beta optionally installs an
instance of MSDE 2000 in conjunction with
the "QuickStarts" feature. MSDE 2000 is vulnerable to
the recent "Slammer" worm, and the generally prescribed
fix is to apply SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3. However,
the instance of MSDE 2000 installed by the .NET Framework
SDK 1.1 Beta is not serviceable using SQL Server 2000
Service Pack 3this method.

 

 

To address this issue, we have made available a special
patch for users of the .NET Framework SDK. It is
recommended that if you or your users have installed
the .NET Framework SDK 1.1 Beta that then this patch
should be applied immediately to prevent any damage from
the worm. Please communicate this information directly
to any of your users who have installed the .NET
Framework SDK 1.1 Beta.

 

The patch and further information are available online:

 

http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/updat
es/sdkfix/default.asp

 

Visual Studio .NET 2003 Beta customers who may have
otherwise installed MSDE as a feature of that product
should also apply the SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3.

We strongly encourage customers who have systems that
have not been updated to immediately install the latest
patch to correct this vulnerability. Customers that have
any ongoing issues should visit Microsoft.com/security,
contact the Microsoft Anti-Virus hot line at 1-866-
PCSAFETY, Microsoft product support or your anti-virus
vendor. Microsoft's support for virus-related issues
is, of course, always free. Methods for contacting
support can be found at http:
http://support.microsoft.com.

 

Thank you for your attention on this matter.. We will
continue to keep you apprised regarding this issue as
updated information is available.

 

Regards,

 

Visual Studio .NET Beta Group
