Note:This demo is designed for the Express Edition of SQL Server 2008 R2, with an instance
name of .\SQLEXPRESS. If this is not the case, some walkthrough steps might requirefurther actions and URLs and code might need modifications. Please adjust the instructions
to match your environment where necessary.
Task 1 – Running the Configuration Wizard
The following steps describe how to run the Configuration Wizard tool included with thedemo to verify that all the prerequisites are properly installed.
1. Browse to the setup folder in the Source folder of this demo, and run theSetup.cmd script. This script will launch the Configuration Wizard for the demo.
The Configuration Wizard is designed to check your computer to ensure that it is properly configured with all of the dependencies needed to run the demo.
2. Click through the steps in the Configuration Wizard to get to the Detecting
Required Software step, a scan of prerequisites will be performed on your computer. If you do not have the necessary dependencies, install them using the
links provided by the tool and rescan your computer.
Figure 2 Dependencies check completed successfully
3. Once the required software is properly installed click Next to configure your
computer for this demo. A script will be executed to deploy a custom style sheets
into the reports server (you will be prompted to enter the Report Server instance

name) and another to create the server alias ('SQLServerTrainingKitAlias') used in
this demo to establish a connection with the database.

Task 2 – Configuring the Report Server
1. Open Reporting Services Configuration Manager from Start | All Programs |
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 | Configuration Tools.
Note:
The Reporting Services Configuration tool is used to configure a Reporting Services
installation. You can configure a local or remote report server instance as long as you are a
member of the local administrator group on the report server computer.2. In the “Connect to a report server instance” dialog box, make sure that your local
report server instance (for example MSSQLSERVER ) is selected and click
Connect.

3. On the Web Service URL ( ) page, make sure that the Virtual Directory is set
to ReportServer_ %YourSqlServerInstanceName% (for example ReportServer
for the SQL Server default instance) and that the TCP Port is set to 80.
Note:
The virtual directory name identifies which application receives the request. Because an IP
address and port can be shared by multiple applications, the virtual directory name
specifies which application receives the request.

ReportServer for the SQL Server default instance).
Note:
Use the Report Manager URL page to configure or modify the URL used to access Report
Manager. By default, the Report Manager URL inherits the prefix, IP address, and port of
the Report Server Web service URL. This is because Report Manager provides front-end
access to the Web service that runs within the same Report Server service.
