Yes SQL 2005 Express replaces MSDE, Look for the SQL Express services.

Dear all,

Perhaps I'm missing something. I have MSDE installed on my laptop and my
desktop and use a manager to create and manipulate databases on each from
my
desktop (ie remote connections work fine). Now, I'd like to run some
databases on our SBS server (2003 standard) and was wondering what is the
best route. I thought MSDE was already installed (for monitoring purposes)
by default, but I cannot work out which services to start that would allow
me to connect to the server. Do I have to install MSDE from a MS download?
Will I be able to run MSDE on the SBS so that clients can access the DB?
Or
should I be doing something different.

Thanks for your help

Stuart

PS I seem to recall SQL express being the replacement for MSDE, have I got
that wrong as well?
