sql server msde: I have a server with MSDE7 installed, for use with Veritas BackupExec 9.
On the same server I want to install WSUS which needs MDSE2000.

hi,
[quoted text, click to view]

MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 can cohexist on the same computer..up to 16 instances
can be technically installed per computer, but only 1 of them can be based
on 7.0 code..
MSDE 1.0 will be the "default" instance, where the 2000 version must be a
named instance...
the default instance is known as "(local)", "ComputerName", "LOCALHOST",
where the named instance will be known as "(local)\InstanceName" ,
"ComputerName\InstanceName"....
