    Planning to move a CRM 4 Web server onto a server already hosting SharePoint 2007.

    Does any one know of any issues that might affect performance?

    I seem to recall that CRM 3 and SharePoint 2007 didn't co-exists very well at all.

    For a development enviroment I would say you could do this within reason.

    Keeping separate application pools would be advisable.  Use at least a 4 GIG machine.

    Also keep your SQL server on another machine.

    I would not recommend this for a production environment.

    Consider all the indexing in Share Point and the work that the application layer of CRM has to do , you would be hurting yourself and impeding the adoption of both packages.

    I have done this in a VM environment using WSS to demo dashboards but I've not tried with the full MOSS product. If you are going to try it, be sure to use a different port/app pool/service user account for WSS/MOSS.

    As Curt says, SharePoint is a complex product and running it alongside CRM in a production environment is not recommended.
