Thanks for the great step by step guide, I'll be passing it to our admin tomorrow AM. :) One question though, did you mean to recommend installing SQL 2005 over top of SQL 2000?? If so, I'm curious as to why?? - Anonymous

Yeah I see the mistake I will correct that. You should only install SQL 2005 or 2000 not both. - Anonymous

This really depends on your environment and other application you may have. Depending on your other applications and security requirements you can set it however you wish. Good luck, -MaxAnonymous
