Cluster install...domain group.

As part of the cluster install a domain group is required now.

My question is, can I remove this group after the install or change the group without affecting the server?

No, you cannot. All permissions - i.e. file system, registry, sql, etc. - are assigned to the group now in SQL 2005 rather than the user. This is to allow better control over the appropriate service accounts at the domain level, plus ease the case where you want to change service accounts for your server.

Client Report Builder Framework not being picked up

Just a question regarding what is required to use report builder from a client pc.

If i sit at client pc, and then click on the report builder, it promts me that framework 2 is required to run report builder. I then proceed to click on the given link to install framework 2 beta 2 , but yet once the install is complete, even after a reboot, if i click on the report builder button again from within RS , it still prompts me to install the framework?

If i view the source, i see that its just a modal window with the message on the click of the button,i have even cleared cache and temp files but no luck, so it obviously does this check as the http://webserver/reports site loads.

Am i missing something here, any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance
Shaun

Ok, i have managed to figure it out,

I am using the lastest CTP for SQL2005 on the server,
When the client gets sent to the microsoft site, it seems to install with a different framework version.

I read a bit about this on the following link, if any one else has any hassles.

So basically, to fix it, i have made a copy of the correct framework redistributable and installed that onto the client machines , then everything seems to work.
