SCCM 2012 R2 Upgrade Breaks Report Builder

Hi,

Just a quickie. After upgrading System Center Configuration Manager 2012 SP1 to R2, I could no longer create a report in the console. The error you see when clicking ‘Create Report’ is “The Report Builder click-once application does not exist on the report server ‘blah.server.com’. Ensure that the report builder application manifest exists on the server and try again.”

It DOES exist, just that the R2 upgrade changes a few settings.

This is actually the same issue when SP1 is installed, with the exact same fix. The full details are on this technet article: http://blogs.technet.com/b/smartinez/archive/2012/07/03/system-center-2012-configuration-manager-create-report-don-t-work-what-do-i-do-now.aspx but the brief two steps to perform on your SCCM/Config Manager server are –

1. Change the registry key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/Microsoft/ConfigMgr10/
AdminUI/Reporting/ReportBuilderApplicationManifestName” from the value “ReportBuilder_2_0_0_0.application” to “ReportBuilder_3_0_0_0.application”

2. Edit the file
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration
Manager\AdminConsole\bin\Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.exe.config” and change the 2 to a 3 in the two areas:

 

Before
<add key=”10.0″ value=”ReportBuilder_2_0_0_0.application”/>
<add key=”DEFAULT” value=”ReportBuilder_2_0_0_0.application”/>

After
<add key=”10.0″ value=”ReportBuilder_3_0_0_0.application”/>
<add key=”DEFAULT” value=”ReportBuilder_3_0_0_0.application”/>

 

That’s it. You should now be able to build reports again.

    1. Have a look around for the standard SP1 fixes as they might help. The main one I read was re-installing Report Builder. Also double check you made the adjustments correctly, the first time I only updated one line in the Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.exe.config file instead of two. Also are you doing all these changes, and testing the report on the SCCM server? I believe the reg file change needs to be done at workstation level too.

      1. The DefaultValue expression for the report parameter ‘UserTokenSIDs’ contains an error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

        The Detail window shows this:
