1171204 2011-01-20 07:17:00 Greetings all,

I have googled this and haven't been able to find a solution:

I will be doing system reporting for my company.

I will be using SQL Server 2008 Management Studio and SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio - In the workplace.

Is there a way of downloading software appropriate for my own training cheaply and using low spec'ed equipment (iow creating my own training environment), in addition to following the various primers on the web and the training my company will give me?

Thanks in advance!

1171206 2011-01-20 07:29:00 I am looking at doing 3 courses when I get back to work, they are online, but you have 3 months for each course and can redo any part of them, think its like 600, 900 and 900, or all 3 for 1600 or something...
basic SQL, SQL server 2008 and advance which is business intelligence...
Can post back more info if you like on the 24th..

I can't remember what it's called, but I saw a colleague doing some training the other day in it - where he would effectively remote desktop to a server in a training environment (over the internet) which had all the relevant software installed, whilst following the tutorial guide. It was supposedly free.
