When I run "PRINT @@VERSION" on a SQL Server 2005 Enterprise x64, what should the result look like? I'm getting "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.5000.00 (Intel X86)", which suggests that it's not x64 at all.

Please can you show the complete result string?


No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

Sure. The complete string is:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - 9.00.5000.00 (Intel X86)

looks like it isn't x64.
What gives this?
SELECT 'SQL Server '
+ CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('productversion') AS VARCHAR(255)) + ' - '
+ CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('productlevel') AS VARCHAR(255)) + ' ('
+ CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('edition') AS VARCHAR(255)) + ')'

I agree, I just want to make 100% sure, before I raise an issue over it. I'd hate to end up with egg on my face.

No eggs - it isn't x64

Your Server is running on MS Windows 2003 (NT 5.2) and the next step would be to check it is x64 or not. If not then it is clear why sql server isn't x64.
