 Crystal Enterprise & new SQL/Slammer Worm

Hi everyone,
The company I work for has Crystal Enterprise 8.0 and the IT Department has informed me that there is a worm called the "SQL/Slammer Worm" which affects MS SQL Server 7.0.
I was wondering if Crystal Enterprise is susceptible to this worm and what do I need to do to protect it?
Thanks so much for your help.

Hi rhinok,
Thanks for replying and providing the links above! Just wanted to know, however, does Cystal Enterprise utilize Microsoft SQL Server 7.0? If not, then I probably do not need to worry about the worm and applying the service pack. Correct?
Thanks again,
dbew |

It depends on your setup of Enterprise. You may be using SQL server as Enterprise's internal DB. I believe it is the default on install (been toooooo long I don't remember).

Hi Lisa,
I wasn't responsible for setting up Crystal Enterprise and the person who was is not here. Can you please let me know if there's a simple way for me to check whether I may be using SQL server for my Crystal Enterprise?
From the server terminal, I choose START -> Programs and I don't see MS SQL server. If I had it, should I be seeing it there?
Thanks,

In the CMC select settings and then the properties tab. There is a line called database. The type etc of database you are using should be displayed.

Thanks again, Lisa.
I checked Crystal Management Console and this is what it has:
Database Name: crystal;ce8;microsoft sql server;07.00.0623
I guess I am using MS SQL Server 7.0 |
