Rajeev Pentyala – Microsoft Power Platform

The other day to configure CRM environment, we were installing “Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Reporting Extension” and to our surprise

“SSRS Instance” dropdown was blank and we could not proceed further

Reporting Extensions Setup

Reason

• We had 2 machines one with CRM application server and another with both “SQL server” & “SSRS Reporting services”
• The reason in our case was, we were trying to install “Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 Reporting Extension” on the CRM application server machine

Fix

• You must run CRM Reporting Extensions Setup on a computer that has Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services or Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services installed

Here is the MSDN’s  CRM 2011 Reporting Extensions Installation Guide
