RS 2005 using SQL Server 2000 as a repository?

Hi - If I want a Reporting Services 2005 installation in which the repository
is on a *different* box than the RS services, can the repository database be
SQL Server 2000 rather than SQL Server 2005?
Thanks and regards,Yes. As a matter of fact it can be on the same box (mine is). You do need a
2005 license for the box that has RS 2005 installed. In your case a 2005
license for the box with RS services and the metadata box can stay at 2000
without a license for 2005.
