Installing a second processor into a server, will I need to re-install operating system?
I currently have a Windows 2000 Server with one processor, I intend to install a second processor into the server. Will I need to re-install the O/S again in order to accomondate the second processor? I am also running SQL Server 2000 - 1 Processor Edition on the current server, I will purchase a second license for the second processor, will I need to reconfigure SQL Server in any way?
Thanks

Thanks for the links and advice. But what about SQL Server 2000? Would it just function as normal as the O/S manages instructions to the processors? I'm assumming that that would be the case, just trying to determine whether any extra work is required.

I'm not sure. you can assign it to a specific cpu but i presume it would just carry on as normal anyway.
have a skim though MS KB to see if anything pops up.

hhp001 sorry to jump in
beware - check the licencing on your SQL2000 depending on your licensing, it is sometimes licenced "per processor" you might be in-advertantly breaking the law (check with your software vendor to make sure)

Windows 2000
Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
