Manage inventory using Configuration Manager - Managing Enterprise Devices and Apps - page 297

There are prerequisites before you can install SSRS:
■ The user account that you use to run setup must be a member of the local
Administrators group and have rights to create databases on the server running SQL
Server that is hosting the SSRS databases.
■ The computer account for the Configuration Manager server must be in the local
Administrators group on the SSRS server. Configuration Manager connects to
Reporting Services to configure security rights for users. You should not configure SQL
Server security rights when you integrate Configuration Manager reports with SSRS.
■ When installing SSRS, you must have a SQL Server database engine installed in the
same instance.
■ Check for interoperability issues. To use the default configuration for SSRS Native
Mode, setup must be able to use the following default settings:
■ Port 80
■ Virtual directory names ReportServer_instance_name and Reports_instance_name
■ Default databases named ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB
After you install SSRS, you can configure a reporting services point. To configure SSRS, the
simplest option is to install SSRS by using the default configuration for native mode. When
you use this option, the SSRS server is ready to use after installation. Default installation con-
figures the following:
■ Service account for the Report Server service
■ Report Server Web service URL
■ Report Manager URL
■ Report Server database
■ Service account access to the report server databases
■ Data source name (DSN) connection for the report server databases
Default installation does not configure the unattended execution account, report server
email settings, or scale-out deployment settings. You should back up the encryption keys
after you have completed the installation.
If you choose to install in the files-only mode, then before you can use the reporting ser-
vices point, you first must manually configure SSRS. After installing SSRS, you would configure
it by using the Reporting Services Configuration Manager, shown in Figure 6-12.
