RE: [ActiveDir] OT - Somebody already experience with SQL Server Express?

Bart-   SQL2005 can coexist with SQL2000. From a basic appcompat standpoint, you can load an instance of sql2005 side by side with sql2000 (msde). If there’s some reason SBS in particular won’t function in this capacity, well, that’s the SBS tradeoff I guess.   Thanks, Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED]   c - 312.731.3132     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bart Van den Wyngaert Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 10:20 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] OT - Somebody already experience with SQL Server Express?   Hi Susan,   Thanks for the feedback, I knew there were some SBS "mothers" and/or "fathers" reading this list :-)   It's not like "I need SQL Express", it was a "is that a new direction to follow" kinda question. SQL is not really my thing, only use it for apps that require it. But it could have been that is was interesting for some advantages... But as you just pointed out, I don't think there are real advantages on a SBS box, instead more risks and looking for trouble!   That's preciesly the answer I was looking for, thanks!

As part of R2 we'll get SQL 2005 workgroup... Whatcha doing to that box?  (me see SBS and I get protective motherly instincts kick in) Watch companyweb.. we're finding that it prefers .NET 1.whatever and not 2.x as well.
