Reporting Services 2003 and 2005 on same server?

Can I install Reporting Serer 2005 and 2003 on the same server, each 1
accessing a seperate SQL2000 database?
Are there any white papers on this regard?
ThanksCan you clarify the versions;
I assume you mean RS2000 (there isn't a 2003).
Also what do you mean by 'accessing a SQL2000 database'.
The RS2000 needs to reside in a SQL2000 db, but it can access any OLE
DB compliant datasource.
Likewise, RS2005 needs to reside in a SQL2005 db, but again it can
access any OLE DB compliant datasource (including SQL2000).
RS2005 will not work installed on a SQL2000 only server.
I don't know whether RS2000 will work from within 2005 and I don't know
why you would try?
SQL2005 is still beta, if you are trying to run it alongside a live
RS2000 implementation on the same server I would advise you strongly
not to!
If you are testing both of these, then maybe consider Virtual PC or
Virtual Server, this is a safe way of testing different things on one
machine.
Go here for white papers and all things SQL2005 from Microsoft;

using a SQL Server 2000 database. You still have to have a 2005 license
though.I don't know if the beta will do this or not.
