Issues

You cannot install SCOM Reporting server

When you are installing SCOM Reporting server you can step into a lot of issues. Most of them are concerned to health of the SQL Reporting Services. Here are steps how to check the Reporting Services.

• Check Report Server website.
  • http://servername/reportserver_<$instance>
• Check Report Manager website.
  • http://<servername>/reports_<instance>
• Run the Reporting Service Configuration Manager.
  • 
• Check that the Reporting Services are in Started status.
  • 
• In Scale-out Deployment check Joined status.
  • 
• Check that SQL Server Reporting Services and SQL Server Agent services are running. You may need to start SQL Server Agent manually and set it to Automatic startup because by default the SQL Server Agent is set to manual startup and after installation of the SQL Server there is nothing that trigger this service.
