Putting the Pieces in Place: Installing Reporting Services
In This Chapter
Before you can begin to enjoy all the benefits of Reporting Services discussed in Chapter 1, you of course have to install the Reporting Services software. Reporting Services installs as part of the SQL Server 2012 installation. Before you begin the installation process, however, it is important to understand the structure of Reporting Services.
In this chapter, you will learn about the components that make up Reporting Services and the five editions of Reporting Services offered by Microsoft. Next, you will find out how the components are combined in different types of Reporting Services installations and see how to plan for each installation type. As part of that planning, you will learn about the software that must be in place prior to installing Reporting Services. After considering these preliminaries, we will walk you through the installation process.
