Hi there,
Is there a different steps to apply SQL Server 2008 SP3 on VMWare vs. Stand alone? If there is could you please provide me the checklist? Thank you in advance.

Hi David,
Thanks for the comment. But we don't have extra hardware lying around to test this process... If it is the same process then, would you please provide me the checklist to apply the SP3 on sql server 2008?

ok, thanks, David.
I don't believe that there is any difference in applying SQL 2000 Service Pack 3 on a virtual machine vs a physical machine.

PS Given that we are talking about virtual machines here, surely it is fairly easy to test this? If you are not comfortable with a particular operation then test or at least walk through the operation on a test machine/environment.
With Virtual Box support 64bit OS's and being free, I don't see any barrier to you doing this cheaply and easily. All it will take is some time.
