2000 and 2005 on same server

  • What is the best practice or requirements to have an instance of SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 on same server. Does 2000 have to be a default instance?  Can it be a named instance?

     

    Thanks for Info

  • We've recently installed a named instance of SQL 2005 on a server that already had a SQL 2000 default instance and we haven't had any major problems.  Neither version has to be a default instance.  You can install both as named instances if you want.

  • I have recently installed 2000 as a named instance on a box with 2005 as default.  Seems to be ok.
