 QUESTION: No Support for SQL 2K on W2K3?? Hi, all. I'm setting up a SQL 2000 install on a Windows 2K3 server box. When I launch setup, I get a warning screen that the software is not supported. But the install works, I can create databases, and all seems okay. What's up with this? Would I not get MS Support with this configuration? Thanks, BD      |

Correct, but as SP4 is the latest, there's very little reason not to use it. > |

But note that if you have a machine with more than 2GB memory, you should get hotfix 2040, the build number after SP4. -- Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, esquel@sommarskog.se Books Online for SQL Server SP3 at http://www.microsoft.com/sql/techinf...2000/books.asp |
