Unexpected error encontered when save report to Report Server
My Report server installed on 10.88.0.39, version is 2017.10 I can save report on the server computer,use Power BI Desktop RS. But I cannot save report to server on another PC, IP is 10.88.0.10....
- This seems like PBI desktop doesn't support NTLM in the Save As function in your scenario. I cannot find documentation about this readily. What if you use "Upload" from the portal, view the report and choose edit in PBI Desktop, does it behave the same?
But what kind of authentication are you using? How are you managing user permissions on the server?
I use windows account by default.
On the client PC, When I use browser visiting the server,a Login Window will pop up.And after login everything goes well.
But when I use Power BI Desktop to save report, no login window pop up and just say Unexpected error.

- Yes you're right.
I can upload the pbix file from portal after login.
Thank you. If you are runnin PBI Desktop locally, it may also be due to the LSA security - just add BackConnectionHostNames registry entry.
