Any problems with running multiple instances

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I'm the admin, so I have a development server, a test server, a production server, and my own private test box.  Are there any problems or issues with running multiple instances on the client?

     Thanks alot.  I never considered using multiple instances on the same server.  One of those 'slap the foreheard' moments.

    Squared,

    Are these virtual environments?

    Define multiple instances...

    If you are trying to replicate the same development, test, and production servers on your private test box, then you can certainly have 3 instances of SQL Server with 3 instances of GP, each instance of GP attached to an instance of SQL. Take a look at my article Set Up Microsoft Dynamics GP Test and Production Environments on a Budget over at MSDynamicsWorld (registration required) for more information.
