Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) Reporting Extensions with Power BI Report Server

djpirra — Mon, 04 Jan 2021 10:33:18 GMT

Hi everyone,

I am about to install and configure Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) and I would like to know if Power BI Report Server is supported for the "Reporting Extensions Setup". On the documentation its mentioned only SSRS but I would not wish to have two separate instances and supporting infrastructure for no need.

Can anyone assist with this?

Thank you

Regards,

As far as I know, you can only install D365 reporting extension on SQL Server Reporting Services server as mentioned in the doc: Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) reporting requirements | Microsoft Docs

PBIRS brings the ability to work with Power BI reports completely on premises in addition to all the other capabilities of SSRS in the server feature itself, but not for addins and extensions. However, I am not certainly correct it would be clear if you can test with a PBI report server since I don't have the test environment.

Hi Anonymous ,

Thanks for your reply.

In case it does not work well, will it be possible to have SSRS and PBIRS coexisting in the same VM?

This way I could install the extensions on SSRS and still have full functionality of PBIRS.

Yes you can install both server on the same machine, and you can also migrate your SSRS instance to an instance of Power BI Report Server, this might be helpful to you.
