Lesson 1. Configuring the SSRS Architecture and Instances

Estimated lesson time: 45 minutes

As Chapter 1, “Installing SQL Server 2005 Business Intelligence Tools,” explained, SSRS can be installed with the default configuration and be immediately ready to use for report deployment and report access by users. However, if you installed a second instance of SSRS that needs to be configured separately, or if you need to set up an SSRS server farm, or if you need to configure SSRS for Internet deployment, your SSRS environment will require special configuration. This lesson focuses on these SSRS configuration scenarios.
