  Hi,

  We presently have 2 servers in cluster. (Windows 2000 Ent Edition + SP2) running MS SQL Server 2000 + SP4 (Cluster). Now, we want to upgrade the MS/SQL server to 2005. Is it a straight through upgrade ? Can any one let me have the steps?

  thanks & Regards,

  Djsu.

  You can upgrade you're existing cluster as long as you use Enterprise edition of SQL2005. Microsoft has a very detailed whitepaper about upgrading in all kind of scenarios.
