    I am trying to establish a test platform for some of my applications and I wanted to use the SQL server 2000 Trial Version, however Microsoft has pulled it form their site due to the Slammer...anyone know when it will be available again? or where I can get it...I have the patch for it.

    Not sure when the will put back out. The reason it was pulled because of Slammer was because the Trial Version cannot be patched (it is disabled against this). If you have Office I would suggest consider using MSDE for the time being.

    They had the tools out to keep the trial version patched out for beta testing, and they were supposed to make a final decision on what to do with them. The beta test period came and went *really* fast. I didn't see an end result, so I'm guessing some issue might have been found.
