SQL Server 2000 Multiple Instances

  • Hi Everyone,

    I have MS SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition installed on the server.

    I would like to create another instance which will be exact copy of the default one.

    Can I install on the same partition? How?

    Does Standard License allow us to install multiple instance?

    Thanks,

    Regards

  • Well, quick answer is yes...

    install a named instance of SQL 2000 on a server with an existing instance and define where you want files to be placed, whichever disk partition you choose.

    Regarding maximum number of instances, or liscencing...

  • to make exact copy of default instance..

    install named instance...

    restore master db, other sytem dbs, followed by user dbs on name instance
