SQL Server 2000 sp2 and earlier are not supported by this version of Windows. After you install the SQL Server 2000 apply sp3.
The reason for this phenomenon is that: Windows Server 2003 family does not support SQL Server 2000 SP2 (Service Pack 2) and earlier and its components.
To resolve this problem, install SQL Server 2000 is installed immediately after the release SQL Server 2000 SP3 or later.
