Power BI Report Server Azure Image Missing PBI Components
itretyakov bprerad jvdl mhammo we just deployed the updated template and we tested the regions that were mentioned in this thread. Please give the latest template a try and let us know if you run into any issues. Thanks for your patience in helping us resolve this.
Hi mhammo,
Based on my test, this image can have the Power BI desktop, Report Server Configuration Manager installed. See:
sample demo content stored on Power BI report server, you can open the Report Server Configuration Manager -> Web Portal, click the URL to go to the web portal to see content.
By the way, you can get started with Power BI Report Server here.

v-qiuyu-msft: Not true.
When installing end of month July 2017 there is nothing related to Power BI on the VM image.
The report server configuration manager only brings up a 1990's style SQL Server reporting tool that can only spit out ugly looking GIFs. The web portal URL is not accessible from outside the VM localhost.
Total waste of time and money.
mhammo & jvdl I just created a fresh VM using the Azure template and everything is there, when I log in using the user specified when I created the template the desktop has shortcuts pointing to the ReportServer URL, Sample PBI Reports, PBI Desktop RS and SQL Data Tools. Can you both try to create a new VM and see if it resolves the issue. My guess is something happening during the provisioning which prevented the full setup of the VM. Thanks!
Hi mgmeyer I just created another image, using the template, and there is still nothing at all related to Power BI on this machine. I searched the entire hard drive and the temporary storage drive.
This is the link I am using: https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/reportingservices.technical-preview?tab=Overview
Is there a different one that you are using?
