HI,
My technical controller has just asked me to check if there are any issues with SQL Server 7 and upgrading (NT 4.0) server to having two CPUs. Reason being, we are about to do it for real and at a recent DR test he had megga problems with the NT end and fears he will have to do a full rebuild, including re-installing SQL Server 7.
Cheers,
Petra

I've had 3 failed upgrades moving from 1 CPU to 2 in NT 4. Haven't tried in W2K. I'd stay away from it.
My solution is to reinstall NT/SQL and then attach the databases (or restore the backup).

I added an additional processor to our WinNT 4.0 Machine. Did not have any issues. What were some of the things you encountered.

up2mp failed. got stuck in the middle and was unable to go forward or backward. Had to reinstall NT4. Happened about 5 years ago and again 3-4 years ago. haven't attempted since.
