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 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.

Ok, I was able to reproduce the issue with nothing being installed; not sure why but the region seems to have something to do with it. I created a new VM in East US using the DS11_V2 VM size and nothing was installed. I then created another VM using the same size but in West US and it worked. Also I noticed that with the smaller VM size (note the recommended size is DS12 or DS12_V2) some of the post provisioning steps took a little longer even though Azure reported the VM as ready. Can you try a new VM in East US 2, I just created one there and everything was installed.? I'll see if I can figure out what is going on with the East US region, thanks for reporting this.
jvdl Can you let me know which region you created your VM in also what VM size you used. Thanks!
