Glad to see this. Move the rendering out of IIS is good. This has been done on manframes for a long time so that the reporting system has a

- data store

- report renderer

- report delivery mechanism (email, ftp, web, printer queue, etc).

- report administration system

-- security

-- report scheduling

-- report notification (success, failure, running, etc)

-- user console to see reports the user owns, their next scheduled time, the status of running reports and the status of earlier completed runs of the report

Thank you. Our DBA group will be happy to put SQL server on machine A, reporting services on Machine B and not have IIS on either (for performance and security).

This is great. In my lab, not having a lot of hardware or even hardware that can be used for a virtualization base, setting up Reporting Services on an instance of IIS used by other functions is just great.

Now, if the next SQL 2005 service pack had this functionality...
