Get Started
SQL 2008 r2 Reporting Services issue where the configurator is unable to find the server
When I start the Reporting Services Configuration Connection and it pops up with the Server Name: It is showing the server name but when I tell it to find it fails. I tried "LocalHost" and it gets the same error. "Unable to connect to Report Server SERVERNAME" My SQL server is functioning fine. This is just the first time I have tried to setup the Reporting Services server so that we could start building reports. Did I forget something during the install process?
