SQL Server 2000 is incompatible with Windows Server 2008; that being said I have only ever tried to install it on Windows 7 (which shares the same code base as Windows Server 2008) and it outright rejected the install.
Hi, We have an application which uses MS SQL Server 2000 SP-3. Our server farm is moving to Hyper V; where all the server's OS shall be Windows Server 2012 R2. My question is that can SQL Server 2000 SP-3 be installed on Windows Server 2012 R2? If yes then what are the step to be taken care?
Regards As Microsofts Policy it wont stop you from installing SQL Server 2000 on Windows Server. But this scenario is not supported in any way and you should not continue with it. See link posted by Olaf for what all versions of SQL Server you can install on windows server 2012.
