Just deployed sql2000 with SP 2 on a brand new Win2003 server. I could not install SP3 due to software issues.
On the server everything appears fine, but when I try to reference it in Enterprise Manager on my XP desktop, it says "Server does not exist."
I get the same error when trying to configure an ODBC setting from my desktop to the new server.
Anyone experience this? I hope SP3 is not the answer.

Unfortunately, that is the answer if you're using TCP/IP as the network library. Windows Server 2003 blocks the TCP and UDP ports for SQL Server if it's prior to SP3.

Unfortunately, you are correct. After I installed the service pack, the problem went away. Our software does not support that version of SQL2000, but since I don't wish to downgrade the server to win2000, I had no choice. I hope everything still works...
