Server registration in sql

[ggupta]

hi ,

i am trying to upgrade from sql 7 to sql 200 .. i am doing a new clean install using the copy database wizard.

both sql 7 and sql 2000 are on different server connected on the network.

the problem i am facing is that i am not able to see the sql 7 server under the source database.

i have tried doing a new registration on sql 7 .. it does not seem to show up.

i have tried using the ip address. does not work

could you tell me how i can register the sql 7 server so that it is visible to all the other servers on the network..

thanks,

ggupta

Why don't just backup db from sql7 then restore it on sql2k?

What's sql service startup account on sql2k server? Checked 'Upgrading Databases from SQL Server 7.0 (Copy Database Wizard)' in books online?
