Can we run a legacy DTS package written for and currently running on an instance of SQL Server 2000 on a server running SQL Server 2008 R2?
We have a database that we know will run fine on SQL Server 2008 R2 but the legacy DTS package is causing us concern in migrating. We would even consider an alternative that included loading components of SQL Server 2000 just to have the ability to run this DTS package.
You can import DTS packages old format (*.dts) into SQL Server 2008R2 from Management > Legacy > Data Transformation Services.
