I'd like some advice, currently our Altiris Deployment server (6.9 SP5 MR3) and SQL (SQL 2005) instance are on the same DS server. I've been asked to research whether it is a good idea to split off the SQL database to a separate server from the Deployment server. Our experience in the past with a configuration like this is that it can be a significant problem, (deadlock issues).
If this is not a problem, I'd like to know if there is any available documentation on what this SQL DB move entails.
