Multiple Databases?

I have a server running windows 2000 which I am using as my WSUS server
running a MSDE 2000 DB. I would also like to use this server as my Antivirus
server (Mcafee Protection Pilot). To so this I need to create another MSDE
2000 DB for this application. Can I have multiple MSDE 2000 DBs on the same
server? We are primarily a small organization with around 250 users.
Thanks
We got a similiar solution here. We have WSUS and Trendmicro on one Server.
Both share one MSDE. Overall size is below 500MBytes. Sometimes the WSUS-gui
is quite slow and the eventlog complains that the maximum number of
connections was exceeded. Besides that, it works quite well.

same server. This might be a better solution than what you resorted to.

|||I've got a similar situation where WSUS is already installed and I'm looking
at moving my anti-virus system on to the same server.
However WSUS is running on Server 2003 and therefore in WMSDE.
I take it I can't use WMSDE for my AV solution so I'd like to know, is it
viable to simply install MSDE 2000 along side WMSDE, or will I have to move
WSUS out of WMSDE and into MSDE 2000?
I assume I'll have some conflicts at minimum with the ports clashing if the
two live together, and there are likely to be other major problems.
Any suggestions?
