Is Windows 2000 Advanced Server 64-bit compatible? &nbsp;Or, does it need to be Windows 2003? &nbsp;we've got a few win2k adv sql boxes, i'm thinking we'd need Windows v2003 x64 Edition in order to run the 32-bit SQL apps on the 64-bit platform using WOW64? &nbsp;<br />
SQL is at the Enterprise Edition (sp4), which, of course, has 64-bit platform support. &nbsp;<br />
so, sql is maybe there, but the os isn't?

64-bit platform?

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.
