Hi all,
I have MSDE installed on an HP server as some of the utilities required
a database. I have also subsequently installed SQL 2000 onto this
server which is a windows 2003 box. I know it complains at the start
of the installation but I was under the impression that it would still
work ok, especially with SP3 applied.
I have tried to apply SP3 but it tells me that it is not a SQL2000
instance ad setup will exit?
Also I have noticed that in the directory structure it has used the
dollar sign i.e. mssql$machinename its the same in Enterprise Manager
\\machinename$InstanceName. Whats that all about? Its not like that on
any other server!
My plan is to uninstall sql 2k, uninstall HP apps and MSDE and
reinstall SQL 2k. Can anyone explain the above though?
Thanks
Gary
