| Is it possible to 'name' a default 2K instance.I have a server with SQL 2k installed as the default instance. I need to run 7 and 2k on this box for some testing, so I assume I need to name the 2k instance so I can install a 7 default instance.Advice?Jay White{0} |

| I'm pretty positive that there's no way to name or rename an instance. You'll probably have to install a named instance, move your databases, uninstall the default instance, and then install SQL 7.Jeff BanschbachConsultant, MCDBA |

| Don't you have to start with 7.0 first and then install 2k? |

| From what I can see, the only way to name the default 2K instance is to do so during installation - no renaming seems possible. I'm fairly certain we did this somewhere (about a year or 2 ago)...*#&#* *#&#* *#&#* *#&#* Chaos, Disorder and Panic ... my work is done here! |
