Thanks...
Actually at this point, we are not really using SQL Server on our SBS =
box=20
very much at all. I am using it as a test environment for our .NET =
apps that=20
use SQL Server (we have a separate "live" Windows 2000 SQL server box =
but I=20
do not want Shavliks patch DB on that machine) and it is also being =
used for=20
our Blackberry Enterprise Server db and that is it. So I should be =
good to=20
go really. However, I will pose the question to blackberry to make =
sure that=20
their stuff will still run on SP4.
Thanks for the help.
