  Does anyone know if SQL Server 2005 will run OK on a Windows 2000 Server? Does Microsoft have a 'compatibility matrix' that I could refer to. I have looked for this particular needle in the haystack but was unable to find the info I was looking for.

  Thankyou

  Neil

  Just check the system requirements on the download page for SQL 2005 SP3.

  I believe Windows 2000 SP4 is in the list.
