Question

One of our report servers is raising errors when trying to reach it from clients computers and works just fine from the actual server. the error is: error

I found that it was a bug in sql 2016 using this article by Microsoft: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3172981

I upgraded to SP2 and then upgraded to the last CU update as Microsoft suggested but it still didn't work.

  1. Other things i tried that did not work:
  2. adding permission from SSRS
  3. changing ssrs service user and giving it local admin as well
  4. giving permissions from ssms to the service user.
  5. looking at event viewer and error log for an error which i didn't see.
  6. opening IE as admin
  7. compering IE security configuration
  8. changing the service from automatic to automtic with delay
  9. changing UTC
  10. reinstalling the instance installing CU1 for RTM, SP1, SP2..
  11. comparing config file to an sql ssrs 2016 that works
  12. comparing IE version with ssrs server that works..

errorlog:

Any advice?

Was it helpful?

Solution

I found the answer to my question finally. the problem was and i quote from Microsoft article:

If you are deploying Reporting Services in a network that uses the Kerberos protocol for mutual authentication, you must create a Service Principal Name (SPN) for the Report Server service if you configure it to run as a domain user account.

the article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/report-server/register-a-service-principal-name-spn-for-a-report-server?view=sql-server-2017

and we were using kerberos protocol (which we didn't know) so by creating an spn we solved the issue. thanks for everyone who tried to help.
