Installing Reporting Services - IIS on other server

  • Hello friends,

    I have an instance of SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition, 64 bits and I want to install the Reporting Services on this instance. In this server the IIS is not installed, but I have other server in the same network that has IIS working fine.

    Can I install the Reporting Services on the first one, using the IIS on the other server to host the "web portion" of the Reporting Services? If it is possible, how can I do it? because following the installation setup, the Reporting Services checkbox is disabled.

    I want to do this to avoid decreasing the performance of my Database Server. Is it recommended?

    Thanks in advance

  • IIS is a pre-requisite for reporting services, so it needs to be installed. It does not need to ne enabled or configured though for RS to install

  • Thanks George,

    I will install it on my database server.

    But if I want, can I host my reports on other IIS in another server, and let my IIS disabled on my SQL machine? Is it recommended in terms of performance?
