A. Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 comes with the Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000), which is installed by default and is used to track jobs. Due to licensing restrictions, customers cannot install the full version of SQL Server on compute nodes running Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003. Customers wishing to install full versions of SQL Server should purchase Windows Server 2003 x64 Standard, Enterprise, or Datacenter Edition. The Microsoft Compute Cluster Pack supports installation on these platforms.
