Both Windows 2000 and SQL Server 2000 are supported in AR System 7.1.00 http://www.bmc.com/support/bmcremedycomp/AR_System_7_1_00_Compatibility_ Matrix_v1_0_3.pdf However, I would encourage anyone with the chance to move to a later version to do so as there is a reasonable probability that AR System 7.1.00 will be the last AR System release to support either of them. This is primarily due to the impending release of Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 which would be most likely picked up by AR System in its next version. The Microsoft SQL Server 2008 release has been delayed to the second half of 2008, so this may have an impact on such support, of course. http://databases.about.com/b/2008/01/27/microsoft-delays-sql-server-2008 -release-date.htm

You may need to upgrade to MS-SQL 2005. Please check the compatibility matrix before you take my word for it.. Also I am not sure if Windows 2000 is supported. You may need Windows 2003 SP 2. If you have to upgrade to MS-SQL 2005, make sure you have nothing in your application that uses the SQL DTS services.. DTS has been dropped in MS-SQL 2005.

Just wanted to get an opinion of people who have done this. Any issues that we should watch out for? Our environment is Windows 2000 OS and MS SQL 2000 database.
