Hello,
I was wondering if anyone out there has done an install of SQL 2000 with Windows Server 2003. I would like to hear of your experiences, issues, etc.
Thank you,

I did this installation for evaluation purposes on my laptop. Didn't have any issues on this so far.

No issues at our test environment. Only make sure you have SP3 at hand. SQL Server won't start without it (on Windows 2003).

The biggest gotcha I have found is if you use linked servers you need to enable DTC manually by changing the security configuration in Component Services. Other than that I have 7 machines that run it with no problems.
