Software:

First VM: SQL + DC

Windows Server 2012

SSRS Reporting Service

Second VM: CRM
o
Windows Server 2008 R2
I started by Installing SP1 for server 2008 R2, then I
installed CRM2011, No issues showed up, also the users for services were added
as per the book, the Installation was completed successfully. Then I installed Roll-Ups
6 and 12 since both are needed for compatibility with SQL 2012.
Issue 1:
·
The site was working
normally, I was trying to install the SSRS connector, and during installation
the installer couldn’t locate the Report Server Instance.
·
So I installed the SSRS as
a feature on the same CRM Server connecting to the already installed SSRS
report server on the SQL machine, without creating a new instance.
·
Then I tried to start a new
Installation for the connector, It could locate the report server instance normally
and the installation was successful.
NA: You should install SSRS connector on the server where SQL is installed, and make sure that your CRM installation files are the latest, and downloading latest updates.
