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, 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

    • Every product Apple is expected to unveil in the rest of 2025

      Every product Apple is expected to unveil in the rest of 2025 by Hamid Ganji While we're in the middle of 2025, Apple fans still have exciting months ahead. Apple's foray into 2025 began with the new budget-friendly iPhone 16e, followed by the M4 MacBook Air and new iPad models with upgraded chips and Apple Intelligence. However, the iPhone maker has a slew of unannounced products for the rest of the year. Most of these products will be unveiled in September and October. Here's every product Apple will unveil in the rest of 2025. iPhone 17 Series Apple's September event will feature the iPhone 17 series as the torchbearer. The lineup includes iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and Pro Max. The new Air model will replace Plus models in the iPhone lineup, focusing on slim design and portability. Apple is expected to change the camera layout design in the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max variants. New Apple Watch models for the year As is customary every year, Apple will roll out a new Watch device in 2025. In September, we'll get our hands on the Apple Watch Series 11. The wearable is expected to launch with a faster processor, 5G RedCap support, satellite connectivity, and blood pressure monitoring. At the September event, Apple will also reveal the next-gen Apple Watch Ultra 3 and a new, cheaper SE Watch with a plastic body. All new Apple Watch devices get the revamped WatchOS. M5 MacBook Pro Bloomberg's Mark Gurman already reported that Apple plans to release MacBook Pros with M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max chips this fall. This model is expected to be released sometime in October. However, the biggest MacBook Pro refresh is planned for 2026, when it will get an OLED display and a makeover. Mac Pro with upgraded chip Apple Mac Pro got its latest update in 2023 with an Apple M2 Ultra chip. While there is no confirmation yet about a new Mac Pro in the works with an M4 Ultra chip for 2025, Mark Gurman said Apple could release Mac Studio and Mac Pro with an upgraded chip in mid-2025. 32-inch iMac Back in 2023, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said Apple plans to launch a 32-inch variant of the iMac in 2025 with a mini LED display. He also predicted a 24-inch iMac refresh in 2024, which happened to be true. So, if you're looking for a bigger iMac and can't afford the 32-inch Pro Display XDR, it'd be better to wait for the iMac refresh in 2025. iPad Pro with M5 chip In 2024, the iPad Pro received a slew of upgrades, including a new chip, OLED display, and slimmer design. According to Mark Gurman, Apple is also expected to release an M5-powered model in 2025, codenamed J817, J818, J820, and J821. Alongside these products, Apple might reveal several other devices in 2025, including Apple TV 4K, AirTag 2, HomePod mini, and AirPods Pro 3.

      This should come as no surprise to anyone. From everything I've heard about Musk, people don't particularly like him on a personal level and when people feel that way about you, sitting at your PC and looking through other people's messages on the platform you bought is just another thing I can see him doing.

      Thank you for sharing! Microsoft Edge is an excellent browser. I really like how the vertical tabs make everything easier to manage.

      I use Firefox because I prefer to have native support for the uBlock Origin extension.  You can get it to work with Chrome-based browsers, but you have to jump through some hoops to make it work properly.  If you're not using uBlock Origin or your browser isn't allowing you to use it properly, you'd be shocked at how many extras it kills on basic web pages like Yahoo.

      Thanks for sharing! Vivaldi does have a nice interface. I've heard good things about how well it works across devices. I get what you mean about Chrome and Firefox's looks; everyone has their own style and preferences when it comes to browsers. What's your favorite Vivaldi feature?
