Install Projects 2007 in a separate MOSS farm

[Mike]

I was Server 2007 in a totally separate MOSS farm from due to server update
for MOSS 2007 and Projects Server 2007 don't play well with each other. In
other words the updates for these server products aren't in sync and can
create issues.
Is this advise true?

Not that I'm aware of. The main reason for having a separate farm for MOSS
is that Project Server has to be installed (and requires a license) for
every server in the farm so a separate one is cheaper!

There is a business case to keep Project Server out of the main corporate
MOSS farm. In the past year or so, Project Server admins may have been inclined
to apply the cumulative updates to address issues in Project Server more
frequently than they would have applied the cumulative updates for MOSS.
Since corproate intranets may be heavily customized or have high availability
requirements, a lot of folks have recommended keeping Project Server in its
own farm, and separate from the primary farm.

That doesn't mean that Project Server doesn't play well with MOSS though.
If they're on their own farm, i.e. I have my corporate intranet on one farm,
and Project Server/MOSS on another farm, then that's perfectly fine. In
that case, you may not even need MOSS on the Project Server farm, as you
can leverage many of the services in the corporate intranet to meet your
needs at a cheaper cost.
