    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!!!

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.
