MORE INFORMATION
================

SQL Server 2000 is fully supported in Systems Management Server 2.0 Service Pack
2 (SP2) with the following limitations:

- Only the default SQL Server instance is supported for use as Systems
  Management Server site databases. Additional instances can be used for other
  applications that support instancing.

- Mixed-mode security is required on the SQL server for the software metering
  database to function properly. NT Only mode causes an error during the
  configuration of software metering tables.
