after a little frustration and some great advice, issue sorted...
I installed the SQL Server 2000 eval version - just to get the client tools installed Used enterprise manager to register and connect to the MSDE instance using Windows auth Used
the GUI to easily change the sa password and also verify in the server
properties window that mixed mode authentication
enabled.
This can all be done via TSQL (Through your OSQL command
line) but knowing the the particular params of all the procs is a different story
(and I don't think MSDE has Books Online) and it is easier to use the
GUI for some of the adhoc changes such as mixed vs windows only mode...
PS - I hate SQL
