Are there any pitfalls to upgrading a sql server 2000 with W2K sp4 to W2K3
sp1?

Hi Paul

In general you should be fine, there are a few things like
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839279 which you should be aware of. If you
are moving the database then make sure that your logins will transfer ok and
you don't get orphaned users see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314546. If
you rename the server make sure that you change the instance name
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...r8f
.asp.

Other things to check would be full text catalogs which would need rebuilding
and if you use replication/log shipping then you would need to make sure they
worked or remove/reconfigure them.

Of course the best thing to do is have a trial run and do a thorough test on
the new platform before going live!
