hi,

I have to install SQL Server 2005 on SBS Standard 2003. I am already running Sql Server Desktop Engine with three instances: MSSQL$SHAREPOINT, MSSQL$SBSMONITORING, MSSQL$BLUECOAT. I am wondering how the installation is gonna affect my system. I do need SQL Server 2005 for the new financial software which is intalled 2morrow. What shall I put as the instance during the installation. Is Sql Server Desktop Engine gonna be replaced by SQL Server 2005?

help!

2005 will not replace your existing instances, it will install as a new instance. You can name it whatever you like.
