Install ConfigMgr SSRS Reporting Services Point | SCCM | Configuration Manager | Endpoint Manager

Let’s learn to Install ConfigMgr SSRS Reporting Services Point. We can make beautiful reports with the data collected by the Configuration Manager. SCCM has 500+ default reports those are available out of the box and ready to use.

Before you can view or manage reports from the admin console, you need a reporting services point. Reporting Services connects to the Configuration Manager site DB to retrieve data that is returned when you run reports.

SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is one of the requirements for the SCCM CB reporting services point. The SQL reporting service is part of SQL Server installation. You can refer to SQL installation and SQL reporting service role installation details from the previous blog posts.

Prerequisites

Reporting in ConfigMgr has the following dependencies:

  1. SQL Server Reporting Services
  2. Reporting services point
  3. Optional – Power BI Report Server
  4.  .NET Framework 4.8
  5. SQL Server Native Client
  6. Other details here.

It’s not recommended to change the reporting server URL. This change can create issues when you try to access reports from the admin console.

Permissions

You also need to have appropriate SCCM permission to install the site system role.

The user account you use to create the reporting services point must have Read access to the site database.

Adaptiva

The current user must have Read access to WMI on the site system.

The account that you specify must have the Log on locally permission on the server that hosts the Reporting Services database. This is for the Reporting services point account mentioned in the below section.

  • Use the site server’s computer account to install the site system if the site server and site system servers are in the same domain and
    • your site server account should be added to the local administrator’s group on the remote site system servers.

If the servers are not in the same domain and don’t have a two-way trust, try to use the next option – “Use another account for installing this site system“.

Normally Site Database server name, Database name, Folder Name, and Reporting services server instance will get automatically populated.
