  Hi,

  For CRM 2011 server requirements you may refer to the System Requirements in the implementation guide section: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh386505.aspx and http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=3621 and yes you can install the Reporting Services into other machine that is hosting SQL Server 2008,  CRM Reporting Extensions require SQL Server 2008 Reporting Servcies to be installed on the same machine where you will install CRM Reporting Extensions. You may also refer: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg327981.aspx   and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh386538.aspx

  Ok just for clarification regarding reporting services, does it make sense to have the following setup?

   

  Server 1: Windows Server 2008 R2,    CRM 2011, Reporting Services, CRM Reporting Services Extension

  Server 2: Windows Server 2008 R2,    SQL Server 2008 (to host the _MSCRM database)

   

  Thank you

  Darren

  Hi,

  I would preffer only this option for the production server and would include a single server with good sepecifications for the development enviornment which will host CRM 2011, Reporting Servuces, CRM Reportign Services Extensions and SQL Server 2008 (to host _MSCRM database) . In CRM development enviornment usually there will not not much load on the database and reporting services so prefferable approch is to having a single server.
