That helped... It confirmed that it was indeed installed but there are some compatibility problems that would make have to change the default SQL 2005 setup, since this could affect other applications using it, I'll install &nbsp;CRM on a different machine with SQL 2000.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Hi, my level of expertise in SQL is close to that of chimpanzee... So with that clarified :) I plan to install CRM 3.0 in a server that has SQL 2005.<br />
<br />
During the initial setup phase it asks me to specify the Reporting Services Server, since it detects I'm using SQL 2005 it only allows me to connect to an existing Reporting Services Server.<br />
<br />
I need to specify the reporting services URL, how do I know which is it? From what I've read this feature of SQL 2005 (Reporting Services) is installed by default, but if not, some pointers on how to add it to the current installation would be welcomed ;)
