| We are planning to move a test server to production. This server has both SQL Server and SQL Server Reporting Services installed on it which is not so usual in our environment.My questions are:(1) In our environment, usually the other systems that require SSRS typically have that feature installed on an additional server. So, I'd like to know if it's a best practice to install both SQL and SSRS on the same server?(2) There are going to be about 15 users, but I'm not sure how much resources will be eaten up by these users.(3) Does it make more sense to reinstall SQL on this server and SSRS on another?Configuration:a)Enterprise Edition(64-bit) is installed b)OS is Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2, 2GB RAM allocated to the OS, Processor 2.4GHzc)2047MB RAM is allocated to SQL Server d)Number of Processors:1 e)SQL Version: 9.00.4053.00 |

| 1. It's a best practice to install them on different servers. SQL Server should be on a dedicated server.2. Miniscule amount for the login3. Perhaps just uninstall SSRS and move it to another box. I doubt you need to reinstall SQL Server.You should upgrade to the latest cumulative update package so that you are not running the base sp3 product. A critical hotfix was released in October for sp3, so you should at a minimum upgrade to that. If you upgrade to that, it'll take you to build 4262 although there are newer cumulative update packages available.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Subscribe to my blog"Let's begin with the premise that everything you've done up until this point is wrong." |

| Thanks Tara, I really appreciate your answer.But don't you think 2GB SQL Server memory and only 1 processor are major drawbacks which may cause lot of issues in the future? |

| "How big is your database expected to be?"-There are 2 databases which could go upto 80 Gig."Are you using best practices in regards to the data access?"-I'm not sure about this. Could you please explain a bit on this."Are your tables properly indexed?"-I know that my tables are indexed but I'm not sure what do you mean by "properly indexed"?"Will you have maintenance jobs in place to rebuild/reorganize indexes and update statistics?"- Yes, I have maintenance jobs that reorganize indexes and update statistics few times a week.Thanks Tara. |
