server upgrade

  • Hello All,

    I have to upgrade my clients SQL server 2000 and SQL server 2005 to SQL server 2008 R2

    please tell me, should i do this with upgrade wizard or i must uninstall SQL server 2000 and SQL server 2005 and then install SQL server 2008 ?

    I want to retrieve all my login and SQL jobs ? how is this possible

  • You could use the upgrade assistant. I would look into doing a side by side upgrade so as to have a fallback option.

  • thanks for the post

    upgrade assistance may help us in choosing right configuration for upgrade.

    but i m more concerned with my current databases, logins and sql jobs.

    if i upgrade to SQL server 2008 R2 , do i get all the stuff or i may have to reconfigure those things again ?
