Report Manager Virtual Directory (Reporting Services Configuration)

SQL Server Setup

Use the Report Manager Virtual Directory page to create a virtual directory used to access Report Manager or re-apply the default settings to the Report Manager virtual directory. The virtual directory name is part of the URL used to access Report Manager.

If you are creating a virtual directory for a new Reporting Services installation, click New to specify a name. When you specify the virtual directory, the Reporting Services Configuration tool creates and configures the virtual directory through Internet Information Services (IIS). It also updates the configuration files with the Report Manager virtual directory name.

If you are in the process of configuring the report server to run in SharePoint integrated mode, do not create the virtual directory. Report Manager is not supported on a report server that runs in SharePoint integrated mode.

Note:
Reporting Services requires a dedicated virtual directory for Report Manager. You cannot use an existing directory. In a new deployment, you must create a new virtual directory for Report Manager access.

You cannot select a virtual directory that you previously created. If you want to reuse a virtual directory name, you must use IIS Manager to delete the virtual directory. You can then use this page to create a new virtual directory with a previously used name.
