Hi ge5536 ,

sadly it is a common error with these browsers (IE/Edge). Until now I don't find out why this happend.

Please try to use instead Firefox or Chrome that will solve the problem.

 

Best,

Kathrin

    Thank you for the response. The issue with IE/Edge not working does not worry me that much as I can ask users to pick a different browser. The biggest issue is not being able to save reports to the report server. PBI Desktop receives a 'cannot reach server' and I'm having a hard time troubleshooting the reason, but it all started when I added kerberos auth to the config files.
