While we’re talking about updates and blogs, I’ll also mentioned that we’ve provided new Knowledge Base (KB) articles that document installation procedures for any possible~~ ~~future SQL Server security updates for Microsoft SQL Server 7, Microsoft SQL 2000 or Microsoft SQL Server 2005. In particular, there are steps that SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 administrators can take in advance that could help expedite deployment of any possible future security updates. We encourage all SQL administrators to review all these (KB) articles and consider following the steps now to better prepare for any future SQL Server updates that may be released in the future. Additional information can be found by clicking the below links.
