September 2021 Update, Configuration Differences or Bug?
Hi All, We have two instances of PowerBI On Prem Reporting Server. One is a Developer edition used for Testing and Development, while the second is an Enterprise Edition used for "Live" reports. I updated both to the new Sept 2021 release but I noticed a few differences in the Reporting Configuration on the Enterprise Edition. Developer Edition Enterprise Edition The Enterprise edition is missing the Edition details, and does not show the 'Scale Out Deployment' tab or the 'Power BI Services (Cloud)' Tab. Does anyone know if this is a bug or some of this information has just been moved? The reports seem to be working fine, so i'm not hugely worried but wanted to check to be on the safe side. Thanks to anyone that can help shed some light.
Power BI Enterprise Deployment with Report Server
I found a really good white paper from July 2018 on deployment options - https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2057861 This white paper also has a really good comparison of features in report server vs service. I am looking for a similar white paper on the current set of power bi - particular on deployment model with report server and differences. Given the aggressive release schedule, I am sure a lot must have changed by now. Any help will be greatly apprecaited. Regards Anil
PBI Report Server without BPI Premium licensing requirements
Assuming I want to work towards the "small" variant of the proposed "best practice" four-server topology of Power BI Report Server. 1 Enterprise Edition SQL + SA requirement: which virtual machines would require a SQL EE + SA ? Or none at all in case a SQL EE+ SA with 8 cores and 32GB already exists somewhere else in my organisation? Would SQL Standard in terms of functionality be sufficient for the rest of the virtual machines? 2 PowerBI Pro license requirement: the EULA mentions "A Power BI Pro User SL is required to publish shared Power BI reports using the Power BI Report Server". What triggers me is the "shared" part. Would this mean that users that don't share published reports (e.g. by using the "My Folder") are in line with the EULA as well? I assume admins can still see these reports so in that sense they would still be "shared" in a way.... Thx for helping me out.
