hello,

on a microsoft small business server 2008 is also a sql server express 2005 installed, e.g. for sbsmonitoring ore share point service

so far so good...

and then a software engineer for financial accounting ore enterprise resource planning installed their software, e.g. sage office line...

and now there are several sql instances with different versions on the sql 2005 express server:
sbs2008\SBSMONITORING (SQL Server 9.0.3042)
sbs2008\TEST (SQL Server 8.0.760)

is it now a unstable system?

thank you!

no, there's nothing wrong with doing this. just be sure to manage the memory usage
