I put it on a third server, and also installed it twice with two separate sets of services - one set against the development server and one set against the pre-production server. That works just fine. My initial reason for doing so was that all of my db and AR servers (source db and target ARS) are on 64-bit Win2K3 OS and BMC Support recommended against putting EIE on 64-bit - said they had not tested it. I am not sure if that applies to AIE, but it doesn't matter to me (I have already upgraded EIE to AIE) since I have it on an 32-bit OS server. After several months of testing, I find it advantageous to have the EIE/AIE services on a separate box; it isn't dedicated to AIE, however - it also hosts my instance of RKM/Hummingbird/Tomcat since there are problems with hosting that on the same Tomcat instance as mid-tier.
Kelly, do you know if AIE is cleared to run on 64-bit OS yet?
