If you will not install SSRS on the combined VCMCollector and Web Server
machine, enter the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account and password.

If you will install SSRS on the combined VCMCollector and Web Server, use the
Network Service account instead of NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.
It is possible to use a domain account for SQL Server services. A domain account
might be required for split installations, because the SQL Server Agent might need
access to the Collector for some activities. If you use a domain account, you should
use a local administrator on the SQL Server machine to access DBServices,
otherwise you must grant manual permissions.

Configure SSRS
Configure SSRS manually in your installation configuration, because the SSRS command-line configuration
tool does not perform these steps.
SSRS might require HTTPS during installation. If HTTPSis required, you manually export a self-signed
certificate and import it to the VCMCollector machine’s root certificate store. If you do not manually
export the certificate, a manual import of a VCM report might fail. If the manual import fails, run the
import from the VCM Collector machine. For more information, see the Microsoft IIS Resource Kit Tools.
