Does anybody know of any issues regarding Windows 98 and SQL Server 2000?
Our company installs the MSDE version of it on a installation and then runs
some scripts to attach our database and setup the security for it.  We also
have a script to blank out the database with a 'clean' database in some
certain cases.  Everything works fine on any Windows 2k/NT4/XP machine and
works fine on some/most Windows 98 machines, but some of the Windows 98
machines don't work properly.  Using osql seems to stop the database in
service manager, but SQL server is still running and from then on the
database is in a weird state.  Please Help because its really screwing up
some of our customers.

Thanks,
Kevin

OK, I've found the problem(s).  The first being that if you run the 'start
/wait scm -Action 1 -Service mssqlsewrver' command when sql server is still
running it disturbs the state somehow.  The second thing that was happening
was a batch parameter problem --> in win2000 batch files %~1 gives you the
first parameter with any " removed from the beginning and ending while win98
doesn't support that (couldn't find documentation anywhere telleing me this,
but experimentation seemed to prove it)
