I've never even installed SQL Server 2000 before, but we currently have one running somehow somewhere and there's always the possibility I might be asked to support it.

So my question is, to run SQL Server 2000, is it a standalone server O/S or does it need to be installed onto Win2000/Win2003 Server?

Thanks in advance!

* Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition1

* Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition1

* Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition1

* Windows? 2000 Server

* Windows 2000 Advanced Server

* Windows 2000 Datacenter Server

* Windows NT? Server version 4.0 with Service Pack 5 (SP5) or later

* Windows NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition, with SP5 or later

SQL Server 2000 is just a database application, so yes it needs to be installed on a Windows Server 2K/2K3 - there is an SQL Server 2000 Developers Edition which will install on Windows Pro 2K/XP (not sure if it works on Home Edition or not).

Just checked MSDN subscriber downloads and SQL Server 2000 Developers Edition is available At the worst, you could get a copy of the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE) and use the client tools from SQL Server to use it.

Microsoft SQL 2000 SP3 is required to Install on Windows Server 2003. I believe :unsure:

That is correct, windows prompts you to install the service pack as soon as finish installing sql 2000.

I have been using it for testing and it works well

      Or, they could really turn the table upside down and rename it in BINARY. 00011001

    • Windows 11 Font Frustration!!!

      I have tried that registry 'trick' from that video already. It doesn't work at all in Win11 for me   Yes it's a 3rd party app... that I am only using because of Microsoft breaking user customization in Windows 11. So yes... the is a Windows 11 issue. As of now to me, Microsoft has made a huge mistake with this in Windows 11.   The current font option in Windows 11 are terrible. They are just missing. People that want to use their own computer the way they want to, they need to avoid 11.

      It's been an age since I did desktop support, but here goes: You have an issue with Windows 11, which is fair.  You are using a freeware 3rd party app to make modifications to the default Windows 11.  Since an update, this 3rd party application no longer plays nice with Windows 11.  And this is somehow Windows 11's fault? Sorry, not buying that this is a Windows 11 problem... it's a customization issue that has just appeared, but standard 3rd party support.   Clearly you're upset.  You can't make Windows do anything, just like you can't make MacOS run Explorer or Linux run Nintendo games natively.  And I know people are going to say "sure, it's possible..." but those aren't defining elements of the OS.  You can't have animated backgrounds in Windows 11 natively -- so it's trash amirite??? I did quick searches about changing the default fonts and there are ways to do it, and clearly 3rd party freeware apps can do it (basically my guess is they're making registry changes on your behalf) and clearly they're having issue.   You can make your computer do a lot of things, but sometimes you get what you pay for. Did a quick search and don't see an easy option in Windows 10 either.  Some of these links - ironically - are for Windows 10.  They still apply. Here's a video tutorial of how it can be done without a 3rd party:   Same reference here with a bit more detail: https://www.howtogeek.com/716407/how-to-change-the-default-system-font-on-windows-10/ Once the font is chosen, the size can be changed via personalization from my understanding. Hope this helps.
