Procedure

1. In Internet Explorer, click Tools.

2. Click Internet Options and click the Security tab.

3. Click Local intranet and deselect the Enable Protected Mode (requires restarting Internet Explorer)

check box.

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.

Prerequisites

n Back up your SSRS key. See "Back Up Your SSRS Key" on the previous page.

n Disable the Internet Explorer Protected Mode. See "Disable IE Protected Mode for SSRS" on the

previous page.
