Well if your auditor suggested that you need to disable Protocol 1, I
suspect they had some method of testing to see which protocols you
were accepting. They could very well have done what you suggested,
attempting to connect using protocol 1, and if they got a valid
connection, they know it's open. So you could test that way to be
sure.

Just make sure that you don't lock yourself out of the machine. If you
are using a client that only supports Protocol 1, and you make the
change and restart the service, you won't be able to connect to the
machine again. Make sure your client can connect with Protocol 2 as
well BEFORE you make the change.
