How would one determine the SP for Reporting Services. Is it different from the SP of SQL Server itselves. This is for 2005

There might be an easier way to do this, but here's one way to do it.

In SQL Server Management Studio's object explorer, connect to your Database Engine and Reporting Services instances. The Database Engine connection will show the version next to the name. Or, you could connect a query window to your database engine and run 'select @@version'.

Right click on the Reporting Services instance in object explorer and go to properties. In the bottom left of the Server Properties window, click the link 'View connection properties'. The version number is listed in the product version.

Hope this helps.

Does this mean the we can have instances where the SP levels are different for SQL Server and Reporting services I thought when a SP is applied on a server it is applied to all the services

Yes, that is correct. When installing the service pack, you can choose what all services it gets applied to. At least, that's how it was with SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 1.

It is still the same for the new service packs. You install a service pack on an instance not on the entire pc.
