It isn't a terrible idea, but there is no need to add an additional server in this design, for a management group of this size. Additional servers cost money. I like to advise what will be the lowest total cost of ownership, and still meet customer needs. Web consoles installed on a non-management server can have authentication issues, that require additional configuration, which is another negative.
Splitting out SSRS is not really that advantageous for an environment this small, unless you have memory limits per VM, but can have multiple VM's. The only time I split out SSRS from the Warehouse SQL server is when the warehouse SQL instance will be clustered, in which case SSRS is not supported on a node of a failover cluster, as SSRS is not cluster aware. Just opinions though. There aren't any hard and fast rules here, just guidance based on the sizer as a starting point.

That makes 4. All VMs. Where should I put the web console? Adding IIS and the additional load is what worries me. It's using the DW as source affair, so is the DW server the best choice? -Roland
