Question regarding installation Analysis services

[borg2002]

Hi All

I was wondering whether it would be possible to install the analysis services on a server that has no SQL Server software on it. On the server there is already Cognos software installed, does anyone knows if this can cause any problems?

Thanks in advance

In "SQL Server 2000 Bible" by Nielson, he states: "While it is included with Microsoft's SQL Server 2000, SQL Server is not nequired to use Analysis Services."

Now I wouldn't know if it would conflict with any other software.

Thanks,

It seems that Nielson is correct. It does work without SQL Server installed.

Thanks for your fast respons

Analysis services does not require SQL to be installed on the same server BUT! You must have SQL Licenses to cover the server you are installing it on.
