    The issue was eventually resolved by adding the "NT SERVICE\PowerBIReportServer" account. I am nnot sure where this was mentioned in the instructions - if someone can point it would be useful. Thanks.

Hello 

 

We had the same problem. Our current Power BI Report Server is Version 1.1.6514.9163 (October 2017). 

 

After we upgrade our Power BI Desktop to Version: 2.52.4921.461 64-bit (November 2017) then this error occurs when uploading the pbix file. 

 

We tried re-install everythng from scratch including Windows Server and SQL Server but could not fix the problem 

 

We ended up wasting a day and solve the problem by reverting Power BI desktop back to an older version

From our test, the last known working version of Power BI Desktop is Version: 2.51.4885.543 64-bit (October 2017)

 

It seemed the 2.51 to 2.52 upgrade of Power BI Desktop has something upsetting the Power BI Report Server, reason unknown.

 

Thanks and hope it could help someone like us.
