Win/7 ProfessionalSQL Server 2008 R2 ExpressReport Services Configuration ManagerWhen I launch it, shows correct Server Name, but report server instance is blank. When I press FIND I get:"Unable to connect to the Report Server <machine name>"This is my development workstation, so no IIS installed. Seems to work fine on XP. SSMS works fine - no issues.I tried uninstalling SQL Server completely, rebooting, reinstalling a fresh download. Same result. I've googled every article I can find - nothing.I know this is not really a site for install issues, but can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks. |

Thx for reply. You are partially correct. Turns out I needed to install the express version with advanced services. The standard express versions install SSRS configuration manager but not the rest of SSRS and do not give any indication of this. So, when you go to run the configuration manager, SSRS appears to be installed, but you get the symptom I reported above.Solution is to install SSRS with advanced services, an option deeper in the microsoft.com/express website. One knows SSRS is fully installed if the SSRS databases appears in SSMS. |
