SQL 2005 Standard on XPSP2

[ConChoona]

Hey all,

Is there any reason that I could not install SQL 2005 Standard on an XPSP2 box and use it as a server for other XP client machines?

I need a SQL box up and running asap, and all I have is my XP disc!

Cheers,

CC

According to this...

http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/standard/sysreqs.mspx

You should be able to install SQL Server 2005 Standard on the following operating systems:

1. Microsoft Windows 2000 Server with Service Pack (SP) 4 or later;
2. Windows 2000 Professional Edition with SP 4 or later;
3. Windows XP with SP 2 or later;
4. Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, Standard Edition, or Datacenter Edition with SP 1 or later;
5. Windows Small Business Server 2003 with SP 1 or later

Thanks for that, but I remember there being restrictions with regards to remote connections in the past, especially with DE and Dev and was just checking.
