FCS 3 server deployment

Hey,

I've been trying to set up a 3 server deployment but can't go further than
getting Report Services initialized. I'm using one server for management,
collection and reporting, one for report database (existing SQL server) and
one for WSUS (existing). When I try to configure report services in the
configuration util then the Initialization tab is greyed out. I did some
searching and found out that this is the case when trying to use scale-out
in SQL Standard edition. I'm using Standard addition and I would like to
know if I need to move over to enterprise edition or change to a single/2
server installation if I am to stick with Standard edition.

I would like to deploy the 3 server topology though.

Thanks,
Rick

I haven't done a 3 server topology myself but it might be worth reading:
