Issues regarding power bi report server
- 2 years ago
Apologies for this change not being mentioned....I forgot to add this to the changelog and release notes (and will be fixing that today).
The May release has a expected change on the AS side of things which will require customer actions to keep some existing scenarios working. As part of a push for security customers will have to explictly include “Encrypt=True;TrustServerCertificate=True” as part of the connection string or apply the “PBI_SQL_TRUSTED_SERVERS” environment variable to their server to Power BI Report Server machine.

Good afternoon,
To make this workaround to be effective it has to be:
setx PBI_SQL_TRUSTED_SERVERS [DDBB Server Name]
It is not enough to introduce the variable, but also include the server name.
Now it works fine!!!

I set the environment variable PBI_SQL_TRUSTED_SERVERS server name on the server side, but it still doesn't work, and I don't know what's wrong with it,

Hi,
The environment variable PBI_SQL_TRUSTED_SERVERS shall be in the PbiRS machine and you have to write the server name where you have the SQLServer Engine running.
Perform a "Powerbi Report Server" service restart and should work fine....
Rebooting the PbiRS machine won´t do any harm as well.......
Good luck

Thanks, I set the environment variable to PBI_SQL_TRUSTED_SERVERS LocalHost, and after restarting the server, it works successfully.

The server is running sql server and powerbi reportserver, set the value server name in the environment variable, but still prompts "We couldn't connect to the Analysis Services server. Make sure you've entered the connection string correctly."

After setting the variables and restarting the server it still prompts " "We couldn't connect to the Analysis Services server. Make sure you've entered the connection string correctly."
