HelpPls

I am running a small shop where we have a dual XEON (1) 2003 Standard Server
serving as our DC, File & Print and DNS server. We have the opportunity to
upgrade to an application we currently use but it will require us to install
SQL 2000 or MSDE on this server. My question is this, can SQL 2000 or MSDE
exist on the same box?

Thanks - Sean
 
Probably but why would you want to? Better to ask in sqlserver.server and or
sqlserver.msde

I support many SQL servers that are on the same box that
serves as the PDC, F&P, DNS, DHCP. As long as you have
adequate disk space for your new database you're
installing and RAM, you should be fine. SQL Standard
edition will use up to 2 GB of RAM. Depending on the
application you're buying -- check with the software
vendor -- you may want to put more RAM in so SQL can have
2 GB and you'll have some for your OS. You can limit SQL's
use of RAM but I don't do that. I give it what it wants
and then some :)
 
SQL Server and MSDE can exist on the same box.

However I'm not sure why you would want MSDE if you have SQL Server?? And I
assume that if you want to do anything serious then you would need to
install SQL Server and not MSDE. MSDE is suitable for client apps and
development.

Simon - I was asking if either SQL 2000 or MSDE were able to co-exist on a
DC, not with each other- Thanks.
 
Not recommended, but yes.
