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.
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?

Yep I clicked the link you had in the original post, that is odd that you aren't seeing anything. Couple questions:
- If you navigate to the C:\Program Files\ on the VM do you not see a 'Microsoft Power BI Report Server' folder?
- Can you check the 'Acitvity Log' in the Azure portal for the VM that you created and see if anything is reported there? For me I just have one entry 'Write VirtualMachines' and the status is succeeded.
- Also under the Overview properties for you VM what location is it in and also which size VM did you use? Mine is in West Coast and the size is D12
Thanks!
Hello,
1. Nope, that folder does not exist.
2. I see the same message.
3. Mine is US East and I think mine was the D11_V2.
Just to try something different, this time I installed the template from within my Azure Portal. Just logged off that machine and it too has absolutely no sign of Power BI at all.
And thanks for your help.
Mike
