I'd opt for W2K3 SP1 first (since you have to do both) ... logically speaking the Windows OS came before SQL Server in installation order on the server did it not...

I would not bother with the SQL dump files (or mini-dumps). If your Windows Admins are correct, then a cluster configuration issue is pretty easy to fix in an active/active...

Steve, we've used MOM 2k and have been using MOM2K5 for some time now. Running in parallel seems logical for an upgrade of this sort for an enterprise. We did...

Most shops I have been at that did development work named the databases the same. Each type of database (dev/test/qa/prod/prodfix) had it's own instance. The downside is that an inexprienced...

What is the salary range ? Will they provide relocation assistance ?

It's great that the tools will support this. However that is not enough. The biggest paradigm change must occur in the organizations that use these tools and platforms. In other...

We are running SQL 2K SP3a hotfix 818 on Win2K SP4 server and Win2K3 server SP1. Our upgrades from Win2K SP4 to Win2K3 SP1 were smooth with no issues. Also...
