| You can not use the SQL7 client tools to connect to a SQL2k server. You can connect to a SQL7 server though with the SQL2k tools, although that's not what you are asking. Why don't you just install the SQL2k tools before you upgrade.Tara |

| Joel,I would suggest installing Microsoft Operations Manager and Application Center so that in the future you may schedule and manage installations to various clients with ease.For now you could probably write a script that would launch the install off a network drive and have run at night. Take a look at the unattended installation instructions.http://tutorials.findtutorials.com/read/category/21/id/415/p/2Edited by - ValterBorges on 03/04/2003 15:48:16 |
