    Hi,

    in this case, you can use every current Hardware. Windows Small Business Server with 4 GB Ram is more than you need vor CRM with 15 Users.

    Hi,

    Consider a Dual- or Quad- core processor, 4GB RAM and think of at least two disks if you want to have the minimal reliability and availability (I don't think RAID is an option?).

    Kind regards,
    Kuba

    Hi sl_k83

    If you do choose to have 2 servers then it doesnt really matter where you put Reporting Services as you will not be pushing Dynamic to the limit.  Personally, I would keep all the SQL components together. 

    However, if Reporting Services is installed on a server that does not have Dynamics on, then you will have to install SSRS Connector on the server with Reporting Services for reports to work correctly.

    with SQL server, or

    and why?

    If there is no other reason, I would like to install RS on CRM Server. Because:
    1. There is no need for SSRS Connector;
    2. IIS is already installed.

    You may find that even if you put SQL Reports on the CRM Server you will still need SRSS Connector.  The Connector is low to no maintenance so I wouldn't consider it an issue.  If it were me, I would keep the SQL associated services on the SQL box.

    If you put SQL Reports on the CRM server and have any issues with users accessing the report, just install the connector and see if that corrects the issue
