>>When installing SQL Server 2005 I have options to install Notification Services and Integration Service. From reading a little online I conclude that I (being a newbie in MS SQL) do not need Notification Services. But I am not sure about Integrations Services. Do I really need it? Is it essential to running SQL Server 2005?

Thank you very much.
