Delete SQL server registration

Hello!
I would like to set up replication (cluster) on my SQL server 2000.
Unfortunately the server name is local so I cant create the replication. I
have to delete the server registration and create a new one with the servers
actual name. This is a production server. If I delete the registration
server and create a new one, will all my databases bee gone? Do I have to
create them from scratch or restore them from backup?Hi,
You can very well delete the registration and re-register again.
This deletion just removes the entries from Enterprise manager and will not
create any impact to SQL server database or objects.
Thanks

the registration. Make sure you've got the sa password before doing this
just in case!

Can I set up a two node cluster with SQL server 200 enterprise edition and
windows server 2003 standard edition?

You need windows 2003 Enterprise Edition to setup the 2 node cluster.
