I have the same issue with the August 2018 release.

 

Power BI Desktop: 2.61.5192.641 64-bit (August 2018)

Power BI Report Server: 1.3.6816.37243 (August 2018)

 

The errors are:

1) Save as: "An error occurred while attempting to save the report to Power BI Report Server"

2) Upload any file from PBIRS: "There was an error uploading your .pbix file. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file."

 

I can see an error in the logs: "Unable to connect to the remote server", which I guess may refer to the ReportServer database. However, I can create new folders from PBIRS. It does not seem to be a SSAS issue, as I get the same errors deploying or uploading a report with just text.

 

Any ideas welcome, other than just using Azure.

      Hello all!

       

      I have the same issue with a new installed Power BI ReportServer. We use a separate AD account and when I add this one to the lcoal "Administrators" group then I can upload PBIX files. When the serviceaccount isn't part of local "Administrators" then I'm unable to upload and get that error.

      So I tried and added this serviceaccount in the "User Rights Assignment" (Local Group Policy Editor) to the same policies as the "Administrators" are. But even then I cannot upload files.

      So I checked on the filesystem the most folders for Power BI ReportServer but the ServiceAccount has "Full Control" on these folders.

       

      Does anyone has a real solution for this? 😞

       

      Best regards

      Ronny

        thanks Ronny! Adding our AD account running the PBIRS service to the Adminstrators group, our upload issue to both http and https (on-prem) was solved.
