Hi

if you are currently using personal edition are you sure you need the massive leap to SQL Server 2005 Enterprise edition???

1)What r the best considerations to be taken before up gradation or migration

there is no such term as upgradation, you mean upgrade.

It may be a good idea to install the sql2005 upgrade advisor and see what that produces.

2)Please clarify diff Between up gradation & Migration

upgrade is exactly what it says, you are installing over the top of an existing system. You will not be able to do this as there is no upgrade path from sql2000 pe to sql2005 Ent Edition. Install a clean system and migrate your user databases across with any logins,etc required

4) Is it required to move System databases?

you cant move them

5) To move all the scheduled jobs .?
6) To move logins,users?
7) To move Linked servers etc...?

I quite like the term 'upgradation'... we all knew what the original op was trying to say!

A quick search within SSC will produce numerous topics on the subject of upgrading SQL 2000 to 2005 & 2008.

Don't forget Google's your friend!

Cheers,

Mark

Consideration: You might want to consider to have the new server with Win 2008 R2 and SQL 2008. Since you have a new hardware, you have a back out plan already. You can test out all the upgrade and migration ahead of time.
