Installing And Configuring Reporting Services Using The Command Prompt
Jul 31, 2007
Hello, I have a question regarding installing SQL Express with Advanced Services from the command prompt. I am executing a .cmd file which has the following syntax:
Yet, after the installation when I run the Reporting Services configuration tool, none of the settings for Reporting Services are set. I would like to be able to install Reporting Services from the command prompt and have it use the default settings for creating a default website just like you can through the User Interface using the Setup.exe but cannot seem to figure out what I am missing in my .cmd file?
I need to install a customed SQL server express instance on the client's computer by using the Command prompt installation. I've already defined the security settings and everything i need but i was wondering if is possible to attach a mdf database during the installation. Perhaps there is a paramenter i can include in the in the ini file.
I just started using SQL 2005 and having a bit of struggle.
I'm having difficulty trying to use the .ini file to install sql express. This is the command I use in Command Prompt: start /wait expresssetup.exe /settings setup.ini /qn echo %errorlevel%
Then I get an error level of €˜-204€™, which I couldn€™t find the meaning on the internet or anywhere else.
But when I move the parameters from the .ini file to the batch file and the process worked. SQL started installing, until it comes to the SQL Server Database Services component. Then I get the following error message:
SQL Server Setup could not validate the service accounts. Either the service accounts have not been provided for all of the services being installed, or the specified username or password is incorrect. For each service, specify a valid username, password, and domain, or specify a built-in system account.
I would be very grateful if someone could take a look at my command line install and offer advice on if I am doing it correctly.
The reason I am asking is because I cannot seem to get the server installed without having errors during the installation: "The SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service terminated with service-specific error 17113 (0x42D9)"
Looking at the server error log indicates that master.mdf was not in the data directory (I have however specified a different data directory for ease of backup by our software and this is created during the install but does not have this database in the data directory - it is however in the template data directory!
I also get this error when the SQL Server service is started: "The SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service terminated with service-specific error 3417 (0xD59)."
All advice is welcome. Please see below my batch file. Also, if you think I should do this in a different way then please let me know. I basically want to install SQL server on a customer computer and automate the install so the custoemr does not need to enter any information.
The goal of this install is: [1] Deply a custom .Net application and SQL server at the same time on the same computer without user input. [2] Allow remote .Net applications (designed by myself also) to connect over a LAN (and later maybe over a WAN) to the database to the above database.
The command line is this (I have also included the batch file I am usign below). For ease of reading I have put the parameters on a new line below:
SET MODE=/qb SET SETUP_EXE=sqlfilessetup.exe %MODE% SET SQLDATADIR=c:SqlData
SET SET_USERNAME=username="CustomerUsername" SET SET_COMPANYNAME=companyname="OurCompany" SET SET_ADDLOCAL=addlocal="SQL_Engine,SQL_Data_Files,SQL_Replication,Connectivity,SDK" SET SET_DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=disablenetworkprotocols="0" SET SET_INSTANCENAME=instancename="MSSQLSERVER"
SET SET_INSTALLSQLDATADIR=INSTALLSQLDATADIR="%SQLDATADIR%"
SET SET_SAVESYSDB=SAVESYSDB="1" SET SET_USESYSDB=USESYSDB="%SQLDATADIR%"
SET SET_SQLAUTOSTART=SQLAUTOSTART="1" SET SET_SECURITYMODE=SECURITYMODE="SQL"
@REM === RE-INSTALL PARAMS - NOT CURRENTLY BEING USED?? SHOULD I ADD THESE ALSO? === SET SET_REINSTALLMODE=REINSTALLMODE="omus" SET SET_REINSTALL=REINSTALL="SQL_Engine,SQL_Data_Files,SQL_Replication,Connectivity,SDK" SET SET_REBUILDDATABASE=REBUILDDATABASE="1"
Hi, I want to run "Intergration Services Deployment Manifest" through the command prompt, passing the values .. which should basically go and install that Package either on File System or SQL Server. Does any one have any idea on how to do that ...
How to execute ssis package from command prompt and also pass configuration file to it and set logging to ssis log provider for sql server. Writing all those options with cmd.
I have this problem when i go to http://<servername>/reprots
"The attempt to connect to the report server failed.Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible "
I dont have any problem viewing the deployed reports from the site, http://<servername>/reportserver. only issue is in viewing report manager.
i have searched the forums and did all the suggested changes required in the config file, by adding the full report url and removing the entries in the virtualdirectory tag. still it didnt help....
We have a prod server running SQL 2008 R2 SSRS and we are able to print SSRS reports fine. Â I believe RSClientPrint is part of the deployed image.We now have a test server running SQL2012 SSRS. Â We have deployed a AxIS GPO which should allow a silent install of the new RSClientPrint for non-administrators. Â We went the AxIS route as I was told some security patches can require a new print control so I want to avoid packaging, testing, and deploying updated print controls to thousands of machines.The problem is that we are still being prompted to install the print control when attempting to print a SSRS report from the test 2012 server.
When we assign security in SRS, in the user name field we have to type the domainusername manually. We cannot see the drop down of all the users in Active directory. Is it possible to configure SRS to get the names from Active directory. If we add any new users to our AD, it automatically refreshes at certain set intervals. I am talking to a similar function in Sharepoint. I browsed through a bit on this and think it is not possible. But I want to make sure that I am on the right path.
Can you please correct me if my understanding is right?
I appreciate your help and thank you for your time,
I have searched the web and have not had any luck on finding the issue to my problem. I'm sure it's probably simple, so here it goes.
When receiving the following error "The permissions granted to user '' are insufficient for performing this operation"
Now, I would like to add to the error message shown above an extra line below it on the web page to reflect something like "Please contact XXX @ XXX if you feel that you need to have your login issue resolved" ...or something meaningful in addition to the default error messages.
I am not getting this error normally, as I have made a typo when login in on purpose! I am just trying to find a way to add more detail to the current error message or change the message to what I want it to say. This would go for any error message received by an end user received through SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.
Do I have to create some sort of filter to read the message coming back from within SOAP? Are these messages stored in ReportingServices database or htm file?
I am using SSRS 2008 R2. On my SSRS machine. I went and created the SQL Alias (both for 32 bit and the other one).
Then I ran the SSRS configuration wizard and tried to configure the SSRS service to create a report server database by using a SQL Alias.
It connects to the DB fine but at the last step it gives an error saying no such host. How to configure SSRS Service when they used an alias for the sql server?
I am trying to automate the setup of SQL server 2014 Standard edition with SSRS. To avoid SSRS being setup using the default port 80 for the webservice and report manager url's, I've chosen to install SQL server with the setting RSINSTALLMODE="FilesOnlyMode" and then use powershell to do the final setup steps.To setup the ReportServer database, I use the "GenerateDatabaseCreationScript" method available in the "MSReportServer_ Configuration Setting" class.
This succeeds without problems however when I use my browser to connect to the web service or report manager url's, I get a "rsInvalid Report Server Database" and a "rsReportServerDatabaseUnavailable " error, respectively.Running the stored procedure named GetDbVersion in the ReportServer database returns "C.0.9.45". If I delete the ReportServer database and then recreate it database manually with the Report Services Configuration manager, the same stored procedure returns "162".
So it seems to me there's a problem with the GenerateDatabaseCreationScript but I can't find any information on this. How can I automate the setup of SSRS and ensure it does not use port 80? There are many manual solutions involving multi-step GUI solutions but the key for me is to automate this with powershell which doesn't appear to be possible.
I am trying to follow the instructions on: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb677365.aspx they contain many "if"s and links to other sites and I got totally confused and stuck. The idea is - I need to have one machine with SQL for reporting services and SharePoint databases and the reporting services and the other machine for a complete SharePoint installation (the main server of the farm)
Now I have done the following: two servers (lets call them SQL and MOSS)
The domain contains the following users: sqlservices: for running all the SQL services and reporting services moss: for administering MOSS databases moss-services: for running all the MOSS services Machine SQL - installed Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP1, joined to the domain as SQL The following is done from a local Administrator account: IIS 6 with ASP.NET installed SQL Server 2005 with SP2, Reporting services installed but not configured all the services are running as domainsqlservices .NET 3.0 installed http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918642 fix installed done WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727aspnet_regiis €“i MOSS as Web Front installed, not configured
Machine MOSS - installed Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP1, joined to the domain as MOSS The following is done from a local Administrator account: IIS 6 with ASP.NET installed .NET 3.0 installed http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918642 fix installed done WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727aspnet_regiis €“i Computers->My computer->DCOM Config->IIS WAMREG admin Service->PropertiesSecurity->Customize->Edit, added domainmoss-services and domainMOSS users with rights Local launch, Local activate MOSS Complete installed, configured for: New server farm Database server: SQL Username: domainMOSS Port: Default Auth: NTLM SharePointRS.msi installed to enable RS in SharePoint Admin page Then temporarily gave to the user domainMOSS sysadmin rights in the SQL server on the SQL machine to avoid errors with creating databases while configuring SharePoint from the Admin Portal. From the Admin Portal configured Office SharePoint Server Search with domainmoss-services account Shared Services Administration €“ New SSP created with 2 separate web apps for SSP and MySites, both app pools run as domainmoss-services and SSP itself runs as domainmoss-services Windows SharePoint Services Search configured, Service Account - domainmoss-services, Content Access Account - domainmoss-services
Everything went OK.
Now came back to the machine SQL: run Reporting Services Configuration and: Report Server Virtual Directory €“ created new, called it ReportServer. When hit Apply, the applicatin suddenly quit, but I checked €“ the Virtual Directory was registered on the IIS and working. Checked if Windows service identity is domainsqlservices, OK. Web service identity: Application Pool: New Name: ReportServer Windows Account: domainsqlservices Apply, everything went fine.
Database setup: choose server SQL, Connect Database name: New name: ReportServer, checked Create the report server database in SharePoint Integrated Mode OK Credeantials Type - Service credentials (I guess it means previously set domainsqlservices will be used) Apply,OK, everything went fine.
Launch SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard, Connect to an existing farm, Database server: SQL, Retrieve datbase names: selected SharePoint_Config, Username: domainMOSS, Next, everything fine here.
Now as far as I understand I need to give reporting services an access to SharePoint databases? Went to the machine MOSS, launched SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration:
Application Management-> Reporting Services-> Manage integration settings, URL: http://SQL/reportserver, Windows Authentification, OK then back, Grant database access-> Server Name: SQL, OK, now it is asking for credentials. And now the problem: no matter what I enter (domainsqlservices, domainMOSS) I get a message: €žA connection to the computer cannot be established€?. Why, why, why? I can ping the server, SharePoint services are running fine and they are using the SQL server on the SQL machine and there are no errors in the event viewer (they should be if there were any problems to connect the SQL databases). If I enter wrong credentials, I receive "Unable to log on with the given username and password.", so I guess there IS a connection to the computer (or how else could SharePoint determne that login is wrong?).
Also, if I open http://SQL/reportserver, I get €žThe report server has encountered a configuration error€? and the log in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2Reporting ServicesLogFiles says €žSharePoint content service is null. Report Server may not have joined the SharePoint farm, or Report Server service account may not have been granted access to farm.€? I guess it is OK while I have not granted access to the SharePoint databases? Please, show me, what did I do so wrong that €žA connection to the computer cannot be established€?? How can I grant the access and finalize configuring Reporting Services? Thanks.
Hi, I just got SQL Server Reporting Services and I want to install it. The problem is that SQL Server is on one machine and visual studio along with IIS is on another machine. Is there that I can install reporting services such that the server tools are installed on sql server machine and the development tools are installed on vs.net machine????
Right, I have taken a deap breath and counted to 1000000. I'm calm and cool again, although I am getting fed up with RS. I'm trying to install Reporting Services Evaluation Edition. I have downloaded it, checked the prerequisites. A server with W2K + latest sp's is running, IIS5 with the latest patches is installed. I have downloaded AUTHZ.DLL and placed in the winntsystems directory. Microsoft NT Framework 1.1 is installed. Visual Studio is NOT installed, since this is on a server and I do not wish to develop here. SQL Server 2000 is installed with the latest sp and patches.
Now, when I run setup for RS the second screen I get tells me: System check result: AUTHZ.DLL is not installed on this computer ASP.NET is not installed or is not registered on this computer Visual Studio .NET 2003 is not installed
hi, i would like to ask where can i find the installation of reporting services?, is it on installation cd of sql server? or another that i'll have to buy? :) help pls. thank you very much.
I followed the guide at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/learning/default.aspx#10 and the installation went fine, the problem is that i can't surf to my http://localhost/Reports to test my reportmanager.
This is all i get when opening up that url with internet explorer:
I am completely exhausted trying to install Reporting services on my Windows Vista Home Premium machine.
Each time, I try I get the error message during System Configuration Check saying IIS is not installed or IIS is not turned on. I have gone through this check several times and stopped and restarted IIS and yet no luck. I have even uninstalled IIS, removed my SQL server installation and re-booted my computer. Then re-installed IIS and tried to re-install SQL server the Reporting Services option during is turned off.
Still after al this system configuration checks still comes up with the same message of IIS not installed or IIS is turned off.
* Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is either not installed or is disabled. IIS is required by some SQL Server features. Without IIS, some SQL Server features will not be available for installation. To install all SQL Server features, install IIS from Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel or enable the IIS service through the Control Panel if it is already installed, and then run SQL Server Setup again. For a list of features that depend on IIS, see Features Supported by Editions of SQL Server in Books Online.
I installed SQL Server Express before Advanced Service were available for download. I now want to install Reporting Services. Can someone explain what steps I must do? Do I uninstall the Express version and reinstall it with Advanced Services? Do I just install Advanced Services and select Reporting Services?
I am wondering if someone can point me to some categorical information that says "Reporting services (the service/portal/etc basically the part that needs IIS) can be installed on a different physical machine to the machine to the database that you are trying to do reports for". At the movement the network services guys are telling us that there is no way to install reporting services, except to have it on the same machine as the SQL server that you are wanting to report on.
It was my understanding that you could install reporting services on any box as long as that box has IIS, access to a SQL service machine where it can set up its data libraries and definitions it needs and the SQL database that you want to report on. And that it doesn't matter if all three of these parts are on different machines as long as they can talk to each other.
Thus i was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction as to where it says that this can be done (preferably a Microsoft resource). I know that there might be another reason why in our case we can't do this but at the moment the guys are saying that it is a limitation of the software.
We've got 2 servers: one is dedicated database server (NSWNOFUSQD01) and the other one is application/web server (NSWNOFUAPA01).
We've installed the SQL server Database Services, Notification Services, Integration Services and Workstation components, Books Online and development tools into NSWNOFUSQD01 (databases server).
We leave Reporting Service cause we don't want to install the application on this box but we want to install onto different box but the reporting database need to install into NSWNOFUSQD01. So we've tried to install the reporting services into NSWNOFUAPA01 - app server. But while installing it we don't have an option to tell that the database is pointing to different server?!?!.
Any ideas? Are missing step here? I saw these environment working - web instaaling on the app server and database installing on database server.
i am having some trouble installing SQl server Reporting Services.well, in order to install the reporting services i have to installServicePack 3a.so through my installation of package 3a i am encoutering some trouble.i was able to comlete the first part of the installation i receivethis error message: Instance name specified is invalidso, my question is: once you have SQL Server installed, where can yougo to find the name of the instanceand once i find it, can i rename it?i originally installed SQL Server a while ago. during the setup, i donot recall a particular name i might have given it.
After wrestling my fair share on the Reporting services installation on Vista x64 with IIS 7.0 I figured to write out the details where the bells and whistles are found.
1. First Sergio Tarillo has written good guide for IIS 7.0 configuration so that Reporting Services accepts it. The guide is non-english, but the screenshots are self-explanatory:
2. After that the resulting error is complainment about ASP.NET being 32-bit and not 64-bit registered. This actually means, that the application pool is opted to run 32-bit code. The real toggle is located under IIS management Application Pools ==> Set Application Pool Defaults... (top-right on the screen).
Under there set Enable 32-bit Applications to False.
3. You will need to install SQL Server 2005 SP2 CTP.
Note: The files seem to be named according to the KB article; however the filename does not show how old/new edition the SP2 CTP actually is (or at least I happened to have some from end of the November, when the current one as of now is December CTP - with different file size).
Or choose the "safer" route and use the "Where to find the latest SPs page":
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913089
After the SP installation I got the Reporting Server Configuration Manager to work without errors. However I ran out of time to work around the other errors configuration permission issues still.
I'm reinstalling Microsoft CRM 3.0 because it didn't feel like working, and when it tries to validate everything, everything passes except Reporting Services, and i get this:
Setup failed to validate specified Reporting Services Report Server http://4way/reportserver. Error: Client found response content type of 'text/html; charset=utf-8', but expected 'text/xml'.

Our public network configuration is set up so that our database server is not directly connected to the internet at all, and does not have IIS installed.
That said, we would like to move to using Reporting Services...
Assuming we install IIS on that box and restrict port 80 to local only, is it possible to configure a subweb/virtual folder on another servers IIS to point to the same folder (on the network) that reporting services used (or some alternate way to configure a remote IIS install for a remote database?)
I am using Windows XP PRO and trying to Install SQL SERVER 2000 Reporting Services.
I have already installed SQL SERVER 2000 developer Edition, sql server service pack 3, VS.NET 2003 and .NET frame work 1.1.
I downloaded the SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services Evaluation Edition. I expected that there are both Server Component and Client Components which are available to install because evaluation edition support all features of Enterprise Edition. However I only saw the Client Components available during setup. Where can I find the Server Components to install? I appreciate very much if I can get advice from any of you.
