As long as you have the compatibility in SQL2008 set correctly the 7.1 should work with no problems. Check out Joe DeSouza post for the "ARS 7.5 Install Issue" thread on Tuesday, May 26, 2009 3:45 PM CDT for some info on the sp_dbcmptlevel stored procedure.

It will not work with SQL 2000. We were running our 7.0.1 server on Win2000 with SQL 2000 and had to upgrade both server and SQL when we upgraded.

Our issue is around having to upgrade SQL at the same time. Due to constraints of other applications that share the same database server we have to stay on SQL 2000 or move to SQL 2008. In order to keep from having to upgrade both Remedy and SQL at the same time we are looking at either upgrading Remedy to 7.5 against a SQL 2000 database or moving the ARsystem database to 2008 and continue to use ARS 7.1. Either solution would only last for a few weeks before we would get to a final 7.5/SQL 2008 configuration. I am looking to see if anyone is either 7.1 against SQL 2008 or 7.5 against SQL 2000.
