    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??

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

    Just wondering why I need to configure mixed mode, as opposed to Windows, authentication?

    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, -Max
