Hi All,
I'm wondering, does SQL Server 2005 Enterprise/Standard have it's own clustering engine, or it's just "cluster aware" and require Windows 2003 Server Enterprise to be clustered as well?
Basically I wish to install SQL Server 2005 Standard on Windows Server 2003 Standard and hope I can still get clustering in two nodes....

SQL 2005 Standard can definitely be installed on 2 nodes in a cluster; only SQL 2000 required the Enterprise version for cluster support.
You will need W2k3 Enterprise Edition, though; the cluster services are part of the OS, and W2k3 Standard doesn't support MSCS.
