Administering SQl 2000 from SQL 2005

I have some old SQL servers that I cannot upgrade becuase of the application
that uses them. Can I manage these servers from SQL 2005? IF so, are there
any known gotchas? Thanks in advance.

BettieYou can do all most common tasks using the new 2005 Studio, the "new and
improved" features won't work however
like i.e. Preformance Tunning Wizard.
By the way - I haven't seen any issues with my "legacy" application after
upgrading to 2005 server, as long as you keep
the specific databases on SQL2000's compatibility level (uprgade process
leaves them there by default).
