     I'm getting ready to install another instance of SQL 2000 in our

is it possible to assign for each CPU a different process within one SQL
Server 2005?

I just installed SQL Server 2005 (with SP1) to cluster server. Because I
only installed SQL Server Engine, after install the Maintenance Plans Wizard

Does anyone know if you can set up a failover cluster to failover (1
way only) from a 2005 Standard edition to a 2005 Enterprise edition

I found that my contractor really fowled things up on a test server.  He

second cluster name?
Thanks

We are planing to install SQL 2005 on 2 node cluster. We will use 2
instances, each using it's own resource group(virtual name , IP , disk) and
running on two 2003 servers. I'm not sure about the names that clients will

We run a clustered instance of SQLServer 2000.  Seems to run great, fails
over like it should, etc.  I’ve been charged with the task of writing some
software to create backups at regular intervals during the day and then ftp
them offsite so that if anything ever happens here, we ...

I need to know the in's and out's of breaking a cluster. I need to move a
cluster of servers from one location to another one. Is there a paper
explaining the breaking of the cluster and then how to bring it back on line
correct. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,
We will install SQL Server 2005 to new box (64 bit) cluster. The thing is we
don't need all the services that provide from 2005. My question is if I only
need install Database Engine and using Maintenance Plan Wizard to backup
