Microsoft CRM 3.0 - Installing SQL Server Reporting Services Problem

I managed to solve a problem in the installing SQL Server Reporting Services stage of a Microsoft CRM 3.0 installation onto Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 this week. Which was nice.

The installation of SQL Server Reporting Services fails because it is looking for the IIS occurrence of the reportserver incorrectly.

CRM is set up pointing to http://servername/reportserver.

This is an error in the installation, it should be setup to point to https://servername/reportserver instead (should be https rather than http).

You can change this on the server by opening the Microsoft CRM Deployment Manager > Select the Server Manager folder > Right click on your Server > click on Select your Reporting Server URL > Change the URL to have an HTTPS.

If you do this, you need to Add Remove Programs and do a Repair of your Microsoft CRM installation - it will then generate all of the default Microsoft CRM Reports and enable Reportinng!
