Not extensive testing, no... but again...
SQL Server 2000 SP3 is not the same animal as Windows 2000 SP3.
And after installing SQL Server 2000 SP3, I opened up the router to allow
all the 1434 traffic that came in... the box was hit on numerous occasions
over the next hour or so, and never did it get infected again.
SQL Server 2000 SP3 was just released on 1/17/2003... while the patch for
this vulnerability has been out since last July (and yes, I'm guilty of not
following it closely enough myself... no excuses)
