I recently needed to put an instance
of SQL Server 2005 Express Edition on a customers Windows 2003 Small
Business Server in order to support a website I had developed for
them. I was very concerned that it might interfeer with the existing
SQL 2000 MSDE that was installed.
So, I took the time and
built an identical SBS server using VMWare Workstation. From there I
was able to install SQL 2005 Express and test the results. It used the
default settings and let it create its own instance.
After
the install and required restart of the virtual machine, I tested the
systems and all were working normally. I proceeded to do the
installation on the production server and once again had a successful
install with no impact to existing services.
As of today, all services are running perfect and the website is up and running. |
