Yes. Microsoft has produced some very useful walkthrough documents that serve as very good introductions to MIIS. The walkthrough documents come complete with labs for you to work through. Each step in the labs tends to introduce you to a new feature of the product, providing you with valuable practice before venturing out into your own deployments. Top

There is no technical requirement, except that it takes less testing resources (as apposed to testing MIIS against all editions of Windows). Top

Technically speaking MIIS does not require Visual Studio at all, but it is a very good development tool choice for developing MIIS 2003 rules extensions. The minimum requirements to compile rules extensions are the .NET compilers available for free in the .NET Framework SDK at http://msdn.microsoft.com. Top For MIIS 2003 to work in a warm standby configuration, Active Directory is required. See the technical overview for MIIS 2003 Planning for High Availability at http://microsoft.

There is no upgrade from MMS 2.2 SP1 to MIIS, it is considered a migration since the products are so different. For more information on migrations, please see the migration paper at http://microsoft.com/miis. Top

No. Rules extensions can be built and compiled on a separate computer, then copied to the extensions folder on the MIIS server. Installing the debugger on the MIIS computer is a good idea, since it will improve the troubleshooting experience. Top

For example, ILM 2007 Volume License can upgrade an existing MIIS 2003 installation, Identity Integration Feature Pack (IIFP), ILM 2007 Evaluation Edition, and ILM 2007 MSDN. IIFP cannot upgrade anything except a previous IIFP. ILM 2007 MSDN cannot upgrade anything except a previous MIIS 2003 MSDN, etc.

Please consult the SQL Server licensing site for up-to-date information on how SQL Server 2000 is licensed, including answers to frequently asked questions.

No. You may use a copy of SQL Server 2000 that you have already licensed. MIIS 2003 does not require a copy for its own exclusive use. It may be shared with other applications.
