Hi Folks,

We are running SQL Server 2005 Cluster enviornment with single
instance-two node configuration. Presently both servers have 4GB ram, with
3.4Ghz 32-bit Quad-Core CPUs on both.

Our Network guys are installing Microsoft OCS 2007, and are demanding
SQL DBA team install named instance on the cluster enviornment. I have
turned them down so far, but wanted to ask everyons opinion on here.

Thanks!

It would be very strange if OCS demands a named instance. But if it wants to
have an instance all to itself (wouldn't be surprised), you may not have a
choice but to install one (assuming that you already have a default instance
installed and the OCS folks don't want to use it.)
