Hello,
We have a requirement to establish an email subscription within the Power BI on-Prem Report Server for delivering SSRS reports in PDF format to our respective customers. We've successfully created a subscription using an Outlook account (ABC@Outlook.com) and generated an 'App Password' from Outlook. We've also configured the SMTP Server as (smtp.office365.com), which sends emails without any issues.
However, when attempting to set up the same configuration with an internal Microsoft Active Directory account (e.g., ABC@brickclay.com), we're experiencing issues with email delivery.
we are stuck in this piece and your help.
NOTE: Before doing any changes to the config, back up the files
I believe you want to use NTLM Authentication for sending emails. If this is true, what are the values for SMTPAuthenticate, SMTPAuthenticate? By default, it is empty, you may need to setup as 2 and try.
Folder:
Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS1111.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer
File:
rsreportserver.config
Let me know if it fixes ...
