Error on installing Ssrs data connector - sql-server

I am installing Srs Data Connector for MS Dynamics CRM, but on the systems checking were encountering an error "There is no such object on the server". I've tried googling it but to no avail.
UPDATE: Added some details
I'm running on 2 VM one for CRM app and the other for MSSQL
I'm installing the srs data connector to the MSSQL Server
Both Server is running on Windows 2008 r2
SQL Server is MSSQL 2008

Could be the permissions issue. Make sure NTAUTORITY\NETWORK SERVICE have permissions to access MSCRM_CONFIG. You might also need to reset IIS on CRM Machine after sorting out the access issue.

Is this on-prem?
If that's the case you may want to program in SQL as opposed to fetchxml - It's a lot more flexable.
That being said, if you want to continue to use fetchxml - make sure to point the ssrs data connector to your crm server and not the database server.

Just want to share the resolution and the cause of the problem (Well not the detailed cause).
The problem was caused by an issue on the AD configuration and the installation of the CRM and MSSQL.
After 2 weeks of trying to resolve various errors on the CRM installation including the above post the problem seems to be with the AD config.
We have many Domain controllers and changes on each DC were scheduled to be copied on the other controllers each afternoon. That's why some setup done by the CRM were not copied immediately.
We have tried re-installing the CRM and MSSQL but it also failed. The trick is to set up the CRM and MSSQL in the same DC then disable the CRM and MSSQL servers to connect to the other domain controller OR to replicate the configurations in the DC in real time.
After that all errors and warnings will be gone...
Thanks,

vs 2017 entity core 2 not using the right data directory

experiencing an odd issue I've yet to see on any of my other machines. This is a fresh laptop, so I have installed VS 2017, SQL Server 2017 express, then created a quick sample project using one of the stock .net core projects (with authentication stored "in-app"). This, of course, creates some basic entity migrations and DB context.
When I run I'm getting access denied errors. So, of course, I checked SQL service default user which is an admin. I then run basic migration commands and receive this
So, of course, my next step was to double check the default data locations of SQL since it appears to be trying to store it in C:\Users root?! I have never had to bother touching this during install, but worth a look. And of course, they are as I expected in their default locations of C:\Program Files\ etc
Rapidly running out of things to try at this point - and considering this is a fresh windows 10 install, with bare-bones vs 2017 and SQL express 2017 it feels a lot like a bug here. Everything is a default if you were to File -> New Project -> .NET Core Web Application with INdividual accounts.
Anyone have any thoughts or things worth trying? Why is it trying to store my DB in C:\Users? Connection string -
"DefaultConnection": "Server=(localdb)\\mssqllocaldb;Database=aspnet-WebApplication3-53bc9b9d-9d6a-45d4-8429-2a2761773502;Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true"
Thanks!

You are not using SQL Server Express.
The local string says (localdb), which is the SQL Server engine running in user space. This is a big difference. Usually SQL Server or SQL Server express runs as service. (localdb) is not an alias for localhost (loopback address). It's a special name for a minified version of SQL Server which runs in user space.
When SQL Server runs as a service, it needs to have read/write permissions to the folder it writes. This is usually NOT THE CASE when the file is located within the User folder.
LocalDB on the other side, is always started when you start debugging your application and runs with the permissions of the user. So if your file was created by an admin user or outside of a directory you have write permissions.
Also, when you mount a database to SQL Server (Express), then the file is protected from write access to other applications, so LocalDB can't open it neither.
LocalDB is made for development to offer most of the SQL Server features but without all the hard setup and permanently running service in the background.
Essentially you have two options:
Use the SQL Server connection string as #TanvirArjel suggested
Detach the database from SQL Server express, copy it to your user folder (C:\Users\<myusername>\) and then correct the path to it
Then it should just work.
Notice that LocalDB is not meant to run in production, so you will likely experience issues when trying to run it in IIS (IIS Express and Console applications and WPF work fine).
Reasons for LocalDb not working with IIS is because ASP.NET (Core) applications within IIS run with a special user, but LocalDbs are always created in the users profile folder. Now, the accounts used by IIS don't have a profile and can't create the database and can't access any database outside (since localDbs are stored in user folder only the user who created it has access to it).
Here some source on it and the reasons behind it.
Using LocalDb with IIS
Write the connection string as follows.Hope it will work...
"DefaultConnection": "Server=YourPcName\\SQLExpressInstanceName;Database=aspnet-WebApplication3-53bc9b9d-9d6a-45d4-8429-2a2761773502;Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true"

SSIS/Integration Server Access Issue - No Local Admin rights

I am trying to find a solution to three issues I have encountered recently relating to SQL Server 2014. I am not an expert with this stuff by any means, but I've sort of fallen into needing to learn it in my current role. I went from never using SSMS a few months ago to (Trying) to teach myself how to use SSIS and SSRS. I've made a ton of progress, but now I'm stuck actually getting everything automated the way I want it.
The biggest challenge, and root of all my problems, stems from the fact that I am not a local admin on my machine. It was great to finally get IT to install the programs, but they do not want to give me, or anyone not in IT in my company, local admin access. Apart from asking my director to try to convince them to do so, I'm hoping for some solutions that would mean I don't have to call them every day to run these programs.
My integration server is running, I've got my SSIS packages built, but I can't connect to the Integration Server through SSMS, as I am not a local admin on my machine. I've read about going through dcomcnfg settings for REMOTE access issues, but I'm worried that won't help here since I'm trying to do this from the local machine and it still doesn't work. Any ideas as to how I can change the settings so that it runs for non-admin accounts or just make it work?
SSRS: I've built a report, and want to deploy it, but I don't have access to the reporting services configuration manager either. For whatever reason my reporting server is stopped in the server configuration manager. When I click on it, it says to use reporting services config mgr to tweak settings, so a bit stuck. Appears to be the same issue - not a local admin. Again, are there any settings I can change (getting IT to log in as an admin and walking them through what to change is my only choice, essentially).
SQL Server agent appears to be the same issue...
I could probably run my reports now, but it would be so much nicer to use these programs to the full extent. Any help would be appreciated here. I tried to research as much as possible, but most solutions seem to relate to logging on myself as an admin, running things as admin, etc, and I just can't do that.
Thanks!
You do not need to be local admin on your machine, SSIS and SSAS require Windows Authentication to log on remotely to the server via SSMS and publishing anything to the server from BIDS / SSDT Visual Studio Shell also requires WinAuth, though you can work locally and then swap the package to the server via Ctrl-C, and also instead of deploying SSRS you can login directly to the report manager and upload an RDL file (report). To start and stop SQL Agent services you need Windows Authentication via SSMS (in your setup), but to view the SQL Agent you must be in the SQL Server SysAdmin role (or at a grain level SQL Agent Reader via the MSDB rights.
I recommend you attempt to not get local administrator rights and instead ask 'merely' for rights to read and write to the server drives, and to manage only the aspects of SQL Server and it's services with a domain login on the server. You will require this anyway to check ingress and egress file locations and debug production issues (unless you have FTP to the box).
You do not have access to stop or start SQL Agent from your client SSMS also because I believe you are accessing it via SQL Authentication, which is not ideal or secure. But if you do not see the agent on the bottom left of SSMS it is because you do not have rights. If you see the Agent and it is red then the service is disabled and must be started.
You will need to get direct access to the SQL box (and you do not need local admin to manage SQL Server, just a domain account with some service rights and drive rights). If your system administrators are running SQL Server under Local Admin, then they should not be managing SQL Server in the first place (see my write up hyperlinked below).
The SSRS Team at Microsoft has merged into the SharePoint team, and SharePoint 2013 wraps up all of the BI tools right into it, so that is something you should also consider if you plan on building out a BI shop at your firm, i.e. you may not have to if you already have SharePoint installed.
Good luck, don't get discouraged.
What user account would you recommend running the SQL Server Express 2008 services in a development environment?

SQL Server Reporting Services Anonymous Authentication issues

SQL Server 2005 and earlier allows users to seamless integratiom of Anonymous Authentication with their apps.
However, this is not supported in SSRS and 2008 (R2).
After extensive browsing, I found this article:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jameswu/archive/2008/07/15/anonymous-access-in-sql-rs-2008.aspx?CommentPosted=true#commentmessage
After configuring three of the config files alluded to in the article, and compiling the c class into dll, I am running into the following errors when attempting to invoke SSRS reports using php.
The Authentication Extension threw an unexpected exception or returned a value that is not valid: . (rsAuthenticationExtensionError) Get Online Help
For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
I have run out of ideas and would grealy appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks a lot in advance.
The SSRS reporting server and SQL Server database reside on server and the php that calls these reports reside on another server.
I have tried some of the suggestions on this site but none has worked for me so far.

Unable to connect to Integration service through SSMS

I have created a SSIS Package and now want to deploy it, for that I am required to create the Integration Service Catalog,so I have SQL Server Evaluation Set up in that when I m trying to connect the integration service, I am getting following error,
Connecting to the Integration Services service on the computer
"RESHMAJADHAV"
failed with the following error: "Access is denied."
By default, only administrators have access to the Integration Services service.
On Windows Vista and later,
the process must be running with administrative privileges in
order to connect to the Integration Services service.
See the help topic for information on how to configure access to the service.
Also I have observed that my instance for SQL Server Evaluation edition is RESHMAJADHAV\SQL_SERVER_EVALU but when I am trying to connect this server, then this option is not shown under Integration Services as shown below,
.
I am unable to sort this out, since I am entirely new to this, please explain what can be the solution.
Please make a note, I also have sql server express edition ,but since it doesn't support to create the SSIS Integration service catalog then I installed the SQL Server Evaluation edition .
Also when I am trying to connect via SQL Database as shown in below image,
then while creating the integration service catalog, it is given the following error
Password validation failed.
The password doesn't meet the requirements of password of the password filter DLL.
Change database context to SSISDB.
One fact I have observed, I don't know whether it is related or not but when I am trying to enter password for my system, then also it's giving same error that password doesn't meet the requirement and also when while installing the SQL Server edition, it gave the same error, no doubt my password was very strong and fulfill all the requirements of strong password, currently I am trying to run my SQL Server with windows authentication mode and also I have tried to disable the strong password policies from the administrative tools but it's totally futile....any help will be greatly appreciated.
Go to all programs
Click on Microsoft SQL Server 2012 folder
Right click on SQL Server Management Studio
Click on Run as Administrator
This should take care of problem for now. (With this you need to always repeat the same process). To avoid this every time and for a more persistent solution you need to get permission(s). Please do the following process and you should be good.
In previous versions of SQL Server, by default when you installed SQL Server all users in the Users group had access to the Integration Services service. When you install the current release of SQL Server, users do not have access to the Integration Services service. The service is secure by default. After SQL Server is installed, the administrator must grant access to the service.
To grant access to the Integration Services service
Run Dcomcnfg.exe. Dcomcnfg.exe provides a user interface for modifying certain settings in the registry.
In the Component Services dialog, expand the Component Services > Computers > My Computer > DCOM Config node.
Right-click Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services 11.0, and then click Properties.
On the Security tab, click Edit in the Launch and Activation Permissions area.
Add users and assign appropriate permissions, and then click Ok.
Repeat steps 4 - 5 for Access Permissions.
Restart SQL Server Management Studio.
Restart the Integration Services Service.

I hope this will help
I researched little bit and then I came to know it was actually the problem of HP Security Tool Manager service of HP Laptop which was messing with the password of system,SQL Setup and catalog of Integration Service,I uninstalled it from PC and now my problem is resolved..
look like you don't have a admin privilege.
so start->sql server->right click->run as administrator
it might solve !!!
it's not clear whether this is due to your windows password or the SSISDB encryption password http://fendy-huang.blogspot.com.au/2012/01/sql-server-2012-integration-services.html.
I suggest you think of a very long complicated password with a mixture of upper, lower and punctiation like this:
~~AgFcDeUk17aP9%3(5#hY,lTSs9+
and put that into the encryption field when creating the catalog. If that doesn't get around your error, try changing your windows password to that. The only way to solve thedr things is divide and conquer. Once you know which password is the issue you can attack it further.

New to SSRS Configuration

I am trying to install and configure SSRS on SQL 2005.
When I click Reporting Services Configuration, I get a message saying
No report servers were found on the specified machine - Details
Invalid namespace.
How can I resolve this?
You don't "configure SSRS on SQL Server 2005", as such.
It's a component that you choose at install time (like Analysis Services, Integration Services etc). For SSRS, then you require IIS as a prerequsite and it won't be installed if IIS is not present.
The error itself is 100% correct if SSRS is not installed...
Is it actually installed?
Edit:
Just got this on one of my feeds: KB 960374 that describes the exact error above
Quite simple. Place your disc with SQL in and run setup. Add features to your existing instance and select Reporting Services. Once installed it would have created 2 databases on your SQL Server named ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB
Open the services configuration and you should be prompted to connect to an instance of Reporting Services.
If you see this screen then you are ready to go.
--Read this only if you might have questions to ask
Setup a service account for Network Service (save the .snk key and it will create your IIS entries etc. If you don't have IIS then upgrade your OS to a compatible version. It can be installed via Add or Remove Windows Features)
Make sure your new database is selected in the Database section. If not, then follow the screen to add it
Open the Report Manager URL and click on the link. (You may need to be in as an administrator)
When you want to deploy reports, simply update your solution properties with the TargetURL pointing to the Web Service URL that is available after setting up the Service Account)
Ask anything further if you need the guidance. I've done this to about 5 servers in the past month already, so I know what can go wrong.
Cheers,
