PBI Server Installation - Access Denied

Hi Gang,

 

I am in need of some much needed help with installing and configuring PBI Server (October 2017). I have worked with the corporate IT infrastructure and they supposedly followed all the required steps, and viola, we have a server working, ish...

 

My problem is a hard one.

 

When I remote onto the server and access the web portal via local host everything works perfectly fine.

 

When I access the web portal from my laptop browser, I can access our SSRS reports, but when trying to access the Power BI reports, it displays a loading sign and then blank screen.

 

I check our error logs (RSPortal_) and found this.

 

RSPortal!library!RSPortal.exe!9a!11/16/2017-14:53:31:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: The permissions granted to user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON' are insufficient for performing this operation.;
RSPortal!reportserverwebapp!RSPortal.exe!9a!11/16/2017-14:53:31:: i INFO: Sending response. Response code NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON 403, Elapsed time 0:00:00.0197614 | RequestID = 89e5f06f-40bf-e896-c9fd-e7df8edabcbe ClientSessionID = 926b4c76-8d67-422f-f93a-cd03b8e65629

 

I am not a network security expert, but if you can point me into the right directions or help me ask Infrastructure the right questions, I will forever be in your debt...

 

We are still in the PoC phase and I would hate for this error to become a black mark on PBI...

    It's hard to say from just that log entry. A couple quick suggestions (1) try using the power bi report server azure template to quickly provision environments for dev/test/PoC scenarios (2) try clean install with everything local (SQL, PBIRS, AS if used, Browser) (3) alternately MSFT support can walk through the logs and traces to see what might be the issue.

      Hi and thank you for your time.

       

      I also tried publishing a report with no data sources, and it still does not render.

       

      I will have a look at the article by Adam.
