Installing Service Pack 3 for MSDE

If you are using ListManager with MSDE, Lyris Technologies recommends that you install Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3 for MSDE so your server cannot be compromised by the Slammer Worm.

To install Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3 for MSDE:

1.   Shut down ListManager and MSDE.

2.   Backup your database. View backup instructions.

3.   Download SQL2KDeskSP3.exe and double-click the file. You will be prompted to create a SQL2KSP3 folder on your c: drive.

4.   After the files are extracted in the SQL2KSP3 directory, use the command line to change to the SQL2KSP3/MSDE directory.

5.   From the command prompt, run the following command:

setup upgrade=1

* Keep in mind this might take several minutes to update.

6.   Restart MSDE and ListManager.

If you are running a version of MSDE other than the version bundled with ListManager, you should contact the vendor who distributed your version of MSDE for upgrade and patching instructions.
