MS-DTC / SQL Server 2000

There is apparently a new worm called "Dasher" that
is making the rounds:

It apparently exploits a "recently patched" flaw in MS Distributed
Transaction Coordinator.

Does MS SQL Server 2000 require MS DTC for anything besides
distributed update transactions, where "distributed" means
two or more database servers? If a server doesn't participate
in such transactions, can I safely disable MS DTC on that box?
