SQL Express - does it come w/SQL Reporting Services Express?
Posted: Oct 27, 2008 1:52 AM PDT

Microsoft bundles it's SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) with SQL Server.  For the Express Edition, there's a corresponding SSRS edition, see:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365156(SQL.90).aspx

Will that be included/available as part of this instance ?

Thx, noy1

You need 2005 express with advanced services. Here is the link. Be sure to include the "Reporting Services" when you choose the components to install.

Price of AMI, Nov 25, 2008 12:50 PM
Reviewer: camalartre
How do I know if this AMI is charged as "Windows" or as "Windows with Authentication Services". I know it's datacenter, that's all. Plus, when I post a review, I cannot post a second review or comment. And I cannot discuss this AMI.

Needs a bit of updating, Feb 14, 2009 3:30 PM
Reviewer: "hussainc"
This AMI is pretty good for a small one. As expected of a "small" AMI, it's a bit pokey via remote desktop but performs fine. I originally had a few remote desktop connection errors, but I think that's just a 1.7gb ram + single core spooling-up issue. After running for a while, it's behaving more consistently. Also, like other Windows AMIs, it takes more than 2-3 minutes after startup to generate an administrator password (more like 10). Additionally, I had to reregister aspnet with IIS to get 2.0 working and there are some updates that could be done (sql express 2005 hotfixes and net 3.5 sp1), but other than that, it works! Thank you!

Presistence and C;\Drive space, Aug 20, 2009 12:58 PM
Reviewer: clicker
While I would love nothing more to leverage the Windows AMI (and yes, it would be more for a "hosting" situation as opposed to a web service Publishing situation) having a C;\Drive of 10Gb is relatively useless. Now I know I could build my own AMI local, and then get charged to upload it, and I also know that I can leverage a data store for my data/apps, however to persist a windows image, a solid 50-100GB of C:\ drive would be a nice option. Especially for the arrogant Windows apps that we have little choice to have running for our needs, that will only install on the C;\ Drive. Also, its been since April, and its Windows, and as such it would be great if these images could get patched and re-posted so that we don't get charged for bring them current each time we start up an instance. Thanks.
