update:

i cloned the sql server and webserver from production to local servers
so i have 1 win2000 server latest patches with sql server 2000 sp3
and 1 win2000 server latest patches with commerce server 2002 (no sp)

upgrade of webserver to win2003 was quite smooth, after that i installed sp2
 of commerce server 2002

first thing which does not work:

i cannot access the commerce site with commerce server manager
("could not connect to the commerce server administration database. verify t
hat the administration database connection string is correct.....)  when i t
ry to do this, i see the modify button, clicking on it doesnt do anything
and why should it be incorrect now ?

i'm not quite clear about what sql scripts have to be run and against which 
databases

i read in commerceserver install documentation for win2003 that i should add
 IIS_WPG to sql server - that user does not exist, where should it come from
 ??

thanks for any help in advance

Thank you for using Microsoft Newsgroups.

I would start with a new installation, pup your site in the W2K
installation and unpup it in the new server.

Are you using Auth Manager?  If you are not, you do not need to do this
step.
