I have found that each MS SQL install needs it own server... they just do not play well together. Actually MS SQL needs its own server as it also a pig when it comes system resources and makes no allowances for competition. I recntly had to move Exchange and MS SQL to their own server... As you can imagine such bundles systems as SMS (Small business server) are ssssslllllloooowwwww and prone to weird errors.

I installed SQL Server 2008 on my server awhile back. Since then my dev laptop, which was running SQL Server Express 2005, could not connect to the databases on the server. So last night late I decided to install SQL Server 2008 on the dev laptop. First of all, it ain't fast. Second it kept failing with this warning and that warning. In the end I had to completely uninstall all the old SQL Server stuff. It simply did NOT LIKE Express 2005 and wouldn't upgrade or clean install over it. Since a complete uninstall, the 2008 install seems to be proceeding smoothly. -- John W.
