You are not running Windows Vista on your server. You are, in fact, running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2. This is also running on x64 hardware so you don't have to worry about setting /3GB, /PAE or AWE.

He's got two different servers. The first one (running SQL 2008 x64) apparently is the Vista box, however Enterprise edition isn't supposed to run on Vista.

Neither of those are Vista - the first one is Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition SP2 (x64). The second one is Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2 - x86.

Enterprise edition refers to SQL, not to the OS, but I too think that's Server 2008. SQL Enterprise edition only runs on Server 2003 and Server 2008. The editions of SQL that will run on Vista are Standard, Developer, Workgroup, Web and Express

Just got some clarification on this.

SQL Enterprise can be installed on Vista. It is not, however, a supported configuration. This means that should you call customer support with a problem regarding this server, they will not help you. Probably they'll tell you to reinstall SQL on a supported operating system and call back if the problem persists.

Now, what was your question on the SQL 2000 on Server 2003 server?
