Unable to install Power BI Report Server Due to blocking error
I was able to solve the problem by changing the hostnames to a smaller version that doesn't get shortened in "systeminfo".
Edit: before changing the hostname to a shorter version, I was also able to install it successfully by installing a new sql server on the report server hosting machine.
Community SupportHi harunkara ,
Would you please test if you can connect to database server by udl file? Using HOSTNAME\INSTANCE,PORT instead of HOSTNAME for database server.
Please refer to the similar post: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Report-Server/Unable-to-create-PBI-Report-Server-configuration-database-on/m-p/501291

Hi, I haven't tried udl yet but telnet works fine on port 1433 to the sql server. I was also able to install SharePoint on the same server to the same sql server.
I have tried hostname\instance,port but that also fails. I am at a loss.
I tried adding an entry to hosts file to maybe fix the problem bu that didn't work either.
And one thing i wanna mention is that the sql db and power bi server are in different VLANS.
udl test is below
