Im just wondering if anyone has any luck getting the server to run with MSDE? Is it required to have dev edition, or Enterprise editon? Iv set it up to use MSDE and get an error which i think is related to this so im trying to find out what other people used and what works.

im using MSSQL evaluation copy. Works perfect. Someone on the forums posted a link to it which i found while searching for what SQL software to use...

it comes with its own tools Null, thats the version that the guides said didn't work with XP (MSSQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition Eval).

worth testing i guess.

Enterprise supposedly , but i hear from a couple people that it works fine.

and according to MS:

The SQL Server 2000 trial software requires one of the following operating systems:

Windows Server 2003*
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server with Service Pack 1 (SP1) or later
Microsoft Windows NT
