DRM is supposed to talk with an ODBC compliant database. MySQL will talk ODBC, however, I think that Microsoft's DRM does a check with the vendor header in the packets and prevents using non Microsoft software in their solution. There also used to be a restriction that the DRM server could not be the same machine as the MSSql machine.

I believe all of Microsoft's DRM implementations specify a dual server setup, however, I cannot find anything on their site that states that anymore.

I'm not as informed on Microsoft products as I should be. The requirement I read on Microsofts websites says that a "Windows Server 2003" is required. I assume thats for the SQL. If IIS will run on Server 2003, I dont think two severs is neccessary, but I will look into it.

Nice heads up, thanks : )
