Does anyone know of any issues running Crystal reports on a clustered server? Any information would be great. Thanks.
 
I am not a clustering guru, but the goal is to fail the application over to a backup server when something goes wrong. They are running a clustered IIS server and use crystal reports for all of its reporting. I don't think they are looking to necessarily cluster Crystal, but it will be residing on a cluster server and we want to make sure there are no known issues since applications are very sensitive to clustering.
 
Well, I can't think of any reason why sitting on a clustered server would have any impact on CR, as I have several CR installs on clustered servers. However, the only reason I adopt this architecture is because I have CE on these servers, and I like to have CR installed with CE for troubleshooting amongst other things.

If you don't have CE, I can't think of any point to having CR on a clustered server, being as the nature of the application is not to be active without user intervention, so installation on a client is usually the way to go.
