Thanks for that hint. I have an issue now regarding rights of system users. Now they have delete rights from Root directory. What needs to be done to avert this. I want system user be able to only modify his folders and contents.

Double-click on My Computer, right-click on the root-drive in question and select properties and then select the security tab. Highlight the Users group [ ex: Users(Servername\Users) ] ensure that only the Special Permission box has a checkmark in it. Then click on the Advanced button and this will bring you to the permission tab where you can specify the rights you wish your users to have on the root drive.

I think i misled you, after opening the webpage as follows "http://<report_server _ip>/reports " I get "HOME' page. Here i am creating folders. My intention is to create separate directories in the name of different teams first. Then provide complete access to the team within their folder. One team should not delete the folder created for another team from the home page. currently for all report server users i have given "System user" access through site SITE SETTING IN THE HOME PAGE. After clicking on the SITE SETTINGS I selected configure site wide security and provided "system user" rights to all report server users. Plus all users will have "folder view" rights on the HOME folder. this is provided through HOME PAGE, PROPERTIES, SECURITY, NEW ROLE ASSIGNMENT.

Report Builder Cube deploys to the wrong location!!

I have built a cube successfully however, it deploys succcessfully but to the wrong location. I have MSSQL.1, MSSQL.2 and MSSQL.3 and I Reporting Services in is MSSQL.3 but the cube is deploying to MSSQL.2/OLAP and I can't access it from there. I have tried changing the server name and specifiying the server/instance but it fails. I'm at my wits end! HELP!

Debra

The directories you've outlined are all correct and the cube has deployed to the correct location. With all components installed the locations should be as follows:

MSSQL - SQL 2000 Database Engine|||I am trying to access it by clicking on "report builder" from the reports webpage http://localhost/reports. Instead of seeing the cube in the selection box, there is a message saying therre are no cubes available and that in order to use report builder at least one cube must be published to the report server. Again, I am able to "successfully" deploy (using either localhost or my server name) but for some reason report builder can't "see" it. Are there some setting I need to modify for report builder?|||

Report builder does not connect directly to a cube. It connects to a Report Model which is different.

Once you've created a cube you first need to create a data source to point to that cube. you can do this by clicking the "New Data Source" button on the toolbar in report manager. Give it a name, select "Microsoft Analysis Services" as the connection type and put something like

Initial Catalog=Adventure Works DW;Data Source=<server>[\<instance>];

in the connection string box. Once you click ok to create the data source go to the properties page of the data source and click the "Generate Model" button. Once you've created the default model you'll be able to launch report builder and access the cube using the model.

Report models can also be created an modified using the BI development studio.

Report builder - open error - (401) Unauthorized.

Hi,
Does anyone have similar error for Report Builder? It seems odd for the

Many thanks.

In my case it looks like a security related issue. I gave my account
all possible rights on the report server but no luck.
Radu|||HI, Radu.
Yes, I searched the KB for support but no luck.
I use the standalone server but no active directory.. not sure it relates to
security rights.
One throught may be related to the ASP.NET app pool is running under
NetworkService? it may not have access right to run Report Builder for the
users?
kenny|||I'm not sure if this will work for you but I managed to get report builder to
work on my servers, both development and production. I changed so many
things that I cannot say for certain this is what has to be done, but I
thought it might give you a direction.
The error indicates that it is a permission problem even though everything
seems to be set properly, right? In my scenario I've got Anonymous access
disabled and basic authentication configured, Integrated Windows
authentication is deselected. All of these settings are the same on the
report server, report manager, and report builder virtual directories and
even the files underneath each directory.
Here's what I did, I opened c:\program files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL.2\Reporting Services\Report Server\web.config
I edited the web.config file to reflect forms authentication instead of
Windows and told it not to impersonate
<authentication mode="Forms" />
<identity impersonate="false" />
I saved the file and opened https://www.server.com/reports - it of course
errored because the server is not configured for forms authentication. I
then reset the Web.Config file back to the original configuration
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<identity impersonate="true" />
Save the Web.config file
Open IIS and navigate to Web Sites | Default Web Site | ReportServer |
ReportBuilder
Right click ReportBuilder.application
Click Properties
Click File Security
Click Edit under Authentication and Access Control
Select Integrated Windows Authentication
Leave the Basic Authentication option selected as well if already selected.
Click OK
Repeat the above steps for ReportBuilder.exe and ReportBuilder.exe.manifest
From a workstation, not the server console
Browse to https://www.server.com/reports log in click Report Server
Click Report Builder and login again.
Report Builder opens
If you want you can then go back and remove the Integrated Windows
Authentication on ReportBuilder.exe.manifest and Reportbuilder.exe. Do not
change Reportbuilder.application or reportbuilder will not work.
I'm not sure what security holes I may have opened, but at least its working
for now.
Let me know if this works for you.
