Help setting up SQL2000

I am assigned to setup a small (less than 15 PC) network, accessing a
database server(SQL2000). I am wondering if I can use XP Home (which
we already have)for the clients and setting them all (including the
server -WS2003-) as workgroup? Or do I need a domain to setup the
connection to the database server? In that case we will have to
upgrade to Pro.

Thanks

Hi

I would go for the domain as you are at a level where it could well help for
administrative and other tasks. It will also be more secure. This is also
better as you already have a server! Even if you didn't go this route you
can access the server (at worse case by IP address, assuming the firewalls
are not blocking the ports!!!) and SQL authentication.

You will have to check the licencing to make sure that you have the right
CALs.
