We currently have an existing W2K Advance Server running
SQL 2K EE and are planning on implementing a cluster using
the existing server. Anyway to upgrade the existing
database to a clustered install or do we need to uninstall
and reinstall after the OS cluster is established?

Looking for the easy way

Thanks in advance!

You have to do a fresh install.

There is a possibility to add clustering install a new
virtual server and do a move/copy database from the
current installation to the new one and then remove the
old install. Haven't tried it and there might be some
issues I don't see.

If your issue is numerous clients with references to the
database a fresh install would be the best solution. You
can give the new virtual server the name and IP of your
current server. That might save you a lot of work and
problems.

Thanks, but my problem is recreating all of the SQL
accounts and having to reset all of the passwords. Can't
use Windows Authentication because of the application.
Any suggestions?
