We have a Power BI Server installed on premises and its behind a firewll.
A proxy firewall has been configured to access the bing maps which have opened the ports for bing maps on this particular server/machine.
When reports accessed on this particular box , bing maps work fine but when accessed from any other machine , bing maps don't appear.
Question is that do we need to open the ports for each client machine as well (which seems a bit unrealistic in the sense that reports are rendered from Power BI Server )

So if you are talking about a Power BI Desktop report then the rendering is not done on the server, the server sends HTML, javascript and css to the client browser and the client machine then does the rendering. So your users would need access to bing maps, but this should not require any special ports to be opened on the firewall since the traffic will just go over the standard port 443 for HTTPS. But if your proxy is blocking access to Bing maps for your end users then that would need to be allowed for the reports to render a map visual. It needs to work this way because your users could apply filters or zoom in/out on the map which requires it to be re-rendered.
Thx for your reply but its not power desktop.
Reports have been deployed to power bi server and then i access the reports using http://reportServer/reports/report1 url in the IE/Edge
When i use the IE and access the above URL from the machine where Power BI Server has been installed , it works fine but
When i use the same URL using IE from another machine , bing maps don't show up .
