SQL 6.5 to SQL 2k switch

  • I installed SQL 2k on a test machine - WinNT4 with SQL6.5. The install went fine and SQL 2k was happy. Then I used the Switch script to switch the machine back to 6.5. It reported successful operation. But 6.5 will not stay running. According to the log, 6.5 completes a normal boot. But then it shutsdown without loggin the shutdown. When I switch to 2k it exhibits the same behavior. Even after reboots. I removed 2k. Still same issue.

    As this is a test machine, I could reinstall 6.5, but the goal of the excersize is preparation for migrating some mission critical servers, with very small maintenance windows.

    Anyone seen this?

  • How are you starting your SQL Server Service? Is it a Domain Account? Or a local system account?

    Just a thought... Might have been an issue with this. I tried this last month.. ID I used in SQL 6.5 does not have the permission..... I got to change this in Services.

    .

  • It is starting with a valid domain account
