Reporting Services (newbie)

Dear all,

When I choose 'Reporting Services' as Server Type from Connection Manager there is nothing in the textbox. Why?

My crystal ball is currently unavailable, so please give some more information what you are doing!
Maybe you are talking about MS SQL Server Management Studio and that the dropdown "servername" gehts empty when you change servertype to "reporting services"?

Yes.. I was talking about that from Sql Management Studio dialog when I select in Server Type 'Reporting Services' the textbox Server Name appears empty.

Hope that clairifies my lack of info...(between my poor english and my unknowledge)

If you haven't connected to a Reporting Services server from this copy of Management Studio, the Server Name will be empty. The Server Name list is just a list of servers that you have previously connected to.

Just because you have connected to Database Engine --> SERVERNAME, it will not show up in the list for other Server Type connections.

Well, I obtain the following error:

TITLE: Connect to Server

Cannot connect to SRVDESASQL2005.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

The Report Services WMI Provider is not installed or is misconfigured (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient)

BUTTONS:

OK

|||I would try reinstalling SQL Tools on your local PC. Looks like that may be where the problem is.
