Can it be made cluster-aware by a `resource DLL`. * If it can be made cluster-aware by a resource dll, is it legal?* If it can not be installed to virtual server (even without failover support), How must I install it to use until we buy Enterprise edition. Thank you in advance" |

| First, I've got to say that you probably don't want to do this.I don't think SQL Server will install. I'm pretty sure it won't. You'll be trying to install SQL Server Standard Edition on Win2K Enterprise Edition, and I don't think that's a supported configuration.You're right, it won't be cluster aware and it won't have any failover or load balancing capabilities. Even if you could track down a resource DLL, it wouldn't be legal, because the DLL would come from SQL2K Enterprise Edition.I'm thinking you're out of luck until your EE gets in.-rs |
