• SQL Server MIIS 2003

  Is there any way to make MIIS 2003 install with SQL 2005, or do I have to stay with SQL 2000 SP3 for all new MIIS 2003 implementations thanks, Azin I'm not sure anyone in this forum knows enough about MIIS to answer this. The forum is about SQL Integration Services (part of SQL 2005 product), not about Identity Integration Server. (Sorry, I don't know if there is a forum for MIIS either). ...Show All
