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.
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

Hi harunkara ,
It's really strange that you can use udl test successfully but can't ping the server name. Did you do the both test on the report server? And why your named instance use the port 1433. It's used for default instance.
