Verify the SQLXML Version
SQLXML provides client-side XML functionality and enhancements to existing SQL features. SQLXML 4.0
SP1 is installed with SQL Server 2008 R2. Verify that the correct version is installed.
Procedure
1. Click Start and click Control Panel.
2. Click Programs and select Programs and Features.
3. Verify that SQLXML 4.0 SP1 appears in the list of installed programs.
4. If SQLXML 4.0 SP1 does not appear, install it from the Microsoft Download Center.
What to do next
Configure the combined VCM Collector and Web server for a two-tier installation. See "Configure the
Combined VCM Collector and Web Server" on page 50.
Configure the Combined VCM Collector and Web Server
In a two-tier split installation configuration, the VCM Collector and the Web server components reside
together on a dedicated Windows Server 2008 R2 machine, and the VCM database server resides on a
separate Windows Server 2008 R2 machine.
To configure the combined VCM Collector and Web server for a two-tier installation, verify the SQLXML
version, configure IIS, install and configure SSRS, then configure the VCM Collector components.
Prerequisites
n
Before you configure the combined VCM Collector and Web server, which can include SQL Server
Reporting Services, perform the prerequisite steps for the combined VCM Collector and Web server
machine in a two-tier split installation configuration. See "Installation Prerequisites for Both Servers" on
page 45.
Verify the SQLXML Version
SQLXML provides client-side XML functionality and enhancements to existing SQL features. SQLXML 4.0
SP1 is installed with SQL Server 2008 R2. Verify that the correct version is installed.
