    Nita,

    Here are few links to some scripts from the site that you will find useful.

    http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Monitoring/monitoringdriveanddatabasefreespace/1415/

    http://www.sqlservercentral.com/scripts/Miscellaneous/31647/

    You can do little search and will find great deal of info.

    Good luck on your migration.

    To see all the options that you have been configured on your Sql server 2000, run in QA

    exec sp_configure 'show advanced options',1

    RECONFIGURE

    go

    exec sp_configure

    it will give you all the options set in your server.

    Good luck in your migration and I hope it helps.

    Regards,

    Najm

  • one other thing you may want to do before your migration is to use the SQL Advisor. This will give you some ideas of the possible bottlenecks or problems you may run into. Good Luck 🙂

  • we did the follwings:

    ======================

    1. Take all the user databases backup

    2. Script out all windows and sql logins.

    This will help.

  • Thanks Everyone

  • Nita, do you have any Views that use Top 100% with an order by clause? The ORDER BY clause in these views is not supported in SQL 2005.

    You must supply the ORDER BY clause when you make the select statement on the view in your application.

    Good Luck
