Deploying a report to remote server

I would like to develop a report remotely for a customer, and then
deploy it on their intranet at their location. Basically all
development is
off-site, and I will travel onsite to install the completed SRS report.
They
do not have a licensed copy of Visual Studio .NET, so none of the
development/maintenance will be done on their server. When I go to
install
SRS on their server, I will only install the Server components, not the
client components. With that said, how do go about getting the actual
report
installed / deployed on their server? I can do it locally on my
development
box using "deploy" from within VS.NET, but how do I do it "manually" on
a box
without VS.NET? What report "files" do I need to copy from my machine,
and
what needs to be setup in IIS?
Thanks
VikramYou can use report manager to deploy a rdl file (if you don't have a lot
this would be the easiest to do.
Or you can script the deploy. You don't have to have a 3rd party tool for
this but here is a free one from Jasper Smith a SQL Server MVP.
