Hi all

We currently have a working single-server installation of FIM (FIMService, FIMSyncService, FIMPortal) and I'm looking ways to expand the installation with reporting features, with SCSM 2012. I was thinking about going with the 2 server configuration.

1. What should I install on the box I already have, SCSM Management console correct? Does it need a SQL instance?
2. And I build another server which also has SQL and I'll instal SCSMDW there?
3. What service accounts does SCSM and FIM reporting features need?

Thanks all!

You are looking of ways to expand the installation? Is this to meet any particular requirement? Are you looking for high availability?

For Reporting Services and SCSM there is a fairly large database footprint required, I have personally just implemented it for a customer into test and we decided to go with a dedicated SQL Cluster. 

This would be a good place to start https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj133853(v=ws.10).aspx

I would ensure you have the FIMService, SyncService etc DBs backed up with the encryption keys and a warm FIM server standing by if you are doing this in prod.

I've already looked at the TechNet guides, I was looking for a more straight-forward guide with SCSM 2012 in mind. TechNet guides do provide good info on the actual FIM Reporting installation, but there isn't much about the SCSM, that's why my orginal questions above.

High-availability isn't needed for the implementation and yes, this will be an expansion for the current single server FIM installation.
