    I did not realize that you already had a PBIRS instance. I thought you were upgrading from SSRS to PBIRS.

     

    So if you want both /reports and /powerbireports to take users to the PBIRS portal page then I think you would need to setup one of these as the "primary" web url in the Report Server Configuration Manager. Then you would need to setup the other url as a site in IIS and either configure a re-direct or url re-writing rules to point to the "primary" url. I'm not aware of any native option in PBIRS that would allow it to run the portal on two different urls.

d_gosbellThank you. This is my preferred option. Only downside I can see is a single URL for access. Currently our two systems have /reports and /powerbireports ass the access URLs and I'd like to replicate that on the new (single instance) box.

 

Thanks for your help
