Tip
|

|
The Reporting Services Configuration Manager (RSConfigTool.exe) is installed with a privilege level of “highestAvailable”. This behavior is by design. The Reporting Services Configuration Manager requires communication with Reporting Services WMI APIs. Some of the Reporting Services WMI communication requires a higher level or administrative of privileges. |
-
To connect to a local report server instance, use the default values and click Connect. The Reporting Services Configuration Manager provides the local server name and detects the default instance. In most cases, you can click Connect without having to change the values. If you installed more than one instance, you must select the one that you want to use.
-
To connect to a remote report server instance, type the server name, click Find, select the instance, and then click Connect.
To open this dialog box, start the Reporting Services Configuration Manager. This dialog box appears immediately when you start the tool. For more information, see How to: Start Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
