Hello,

 

I have a similar issue with Power BI Report Server. After an automated update to Windows the Server doesn't come up any more. 

httperr.log doesn't give any additional information

...

 

The service is configured for delayed start. There are no Eventlogs that correspond to the behavior. 

 

Please help.

 

Regards

Did you ever get this fixed on its entirely? I am also using HTTP Redirect on IIS which others says we should disregard, I have read that SSRS is totally independent from IIS, are you also using IIS in your deployment?

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Please reboot Power BI Report Service for a try. If issue persists, please open "Power BI Report Server" service properties, there is a Startup Type option whose default detting is "Automatic". Change it to "Automatic (Delayed Start)" and then restart the service for a test. 

 

Besides, please review this article to troubleshoot 'HTTP 503 Service is Unavailable' error: Troubleshooting HTTP Errors

Many thanks - Have set the service to delayed start and generated the error log. Still an issue when connecting using https
