Re: Why setup two servers with same name

I would also confirm exactly what the vendor selling/installing the server
OS purchased for this client. Did he purchase SBS 2003 standard and then
purchase SQL 2005 as a separate application thus needing extra licensing or
did he purchase SBS 2003 premium but didn't know that he had to install SQL
from the Premium Technologies disk. It would seem the bill from this
vendor is edging upwards as time passes!

To make matters worse:
I quoted on SBS 2003 Premium since we need SQL 2000 Premium with the
GUI.
The other vendor quoted 'SBS 2003' on his offer.
When we went on-site to migrate our accounting app. we noticed that
the SQL Enterprise Manager was missing. The consultant had installed
SBS 2003 Standard
We spoke to client and other vendor and said specifically that we
needed SQL 2000 Premium.
The other vendor then installs SBS 2003 Premium with SQL 2005 Premium
(not 2000).
I do not know *exactly* what steps he followed.
We complain again and he finally installs SQL 2000 Premium on the
third try.
Again, I do not know exactly what he did.
I am worried that the server might also be 'confused' because the
consultant is not trusworthy and is being vague.

I strongly suggest you flatten & reinstall....and get all workstations on
W2k/WinXP Pro.
