Bringing up a new server from scratch. Any "hidden" issues with the order of software installation on WIN 2K server machine, i.e. does it matter if IIS is installed before SQL Server 7.0 or vice versa?

thx

Usually the installation instructions for SQL Server will point out any specifics regarding the order in which other apps or services should be installed. You should be wary of service packs though, reinstalling a service pack after SQL Server used to cause problems with Windows NT. I'd recommend putting IIS on first, Windows service packs (if any), then SQL Server, then the SQL Server service packs. Unless you see documentation contradicting this sequence...I've done it this way in the past and have had no problems so far, but it might vary depending on which Windows 2000 version you have.
