We are running sql Server 2000 on a win2003 server box. I loaded Sql Server 2008 R2 on my (XP sp3) desktop. I was trying to register sqlsvr2008R2 with the sql Server 2000 group (through Enterprise Manager) on the win2003 machine, but it either can't see it or cannot access it. My question is if the sql server 2008 R2 on my XP desktop can be seen by the win2003 sql server (or any other server)? If yes, how do I configure the sql server 2008 R2 for this? Or do I need to do something with the XP box? Firewall adjustmetns? ... ?
Thanks
