Upgrading NT4 to Win2000

Could someone let me know if it is possible to upgrade NT4 Server to Windows
2000 Server version without loosing any settings?
The volume contains a running MS SQL 7 Database Server.

Thanks in advance,

John

For the most part yes.

You can run X:\winnt32 /checkupgradeonly where X = your CD drive with the
Win 2k server CD inserted. This attempts to give you an idea where you may
have problems during an upgrade without actually installing anything.
