| I'm considering upgrading from MSDE 2000 to Express 2005. Before I do that I need to know if my linked server dependant scheduled jobs will continue to function properly. Here's my current configuration:I have a local SQL Server 2000 Standard edition box linked via IP address to a remote MSDE 2000 SQL Server. This link uses SQL authentication. I want to upgrade the remote MSDE server to 2005 Express. Will my local 2000 SQL Server link successfully with a 2005 Express server?Also, I have 2000 Developer Edition on my machine and am using Enterprise Manager where I have registered the remote MSDE so I can easily manage the server. Will I be able to register a 2005 Express server or will I need to upgrade my developer machine to 2005? If I do upgrade my developer machine, will I still be able to register the 2000 Standard Sql Server?If there are any other issues with running a mixed environment like the one described here, please speak up! I want to make an informeddecision.Thanks so much for your help! |

| You need ssmse to manage sql2k5 express. For linked server, worst case is recreating it. |

Can Express be linked with 2000 Standard?
