Improves serviceability for SQL Server 2000 Evaluation Edition. SP3a
enables service pack upgrades for trial software. In the past, service
packs have not been applicable to trial software.
Includes a new version of Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) version
2.71a. This version fixes the installation of MDAC files and a memory leak.
These issues are addressed in articles 814572 and 814410 in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base.
Disables listening on port 1434 when networking is disabled. This provides
further protection from "denial of service" attacks.
