INTRODUCTION

Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2003 uses Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE) Service Pack 3a (SP3a). Microsoft has released a security update, MS03-031, that fixes several security issues that were found in MSDE and in Microsoft SQL Server. You must apply this security update as a post-installation step for Live Communications Server 2003.

MORE INFORMATION

Live Communications Server 2003 uses MSDE SP3a internally as a data repository for user information. The security issues that were found in MSDE affect any Live Communications Server 2003 installation that is running Live Communications Server User Services because Live Communications Server User Services installs an MSDE instance. For example, the following types of installations of Live Communications Server 2003 install instances of MSDE:

A home server
A front-end server

Note These types of installations do not include an installation of Live Communications Server 2003 that is configured as a forwarding proxy.

By default, the MSDE instance included with Live Communications Server 2003 is only available to local Windows users on the system that Live Communications Server is installed on.

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-031 provides security updates for vulnerabilities in MSDE and SQL Server. Apply this update after you install Live Communications Server. To view the complete security bulletin that discusses this security update, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
