Introduction

This tutorial includes the key steps for deploying and configuring:

SQL Server 2008 Database Engine

SQL Server Reporting Services 2008

SharePoint 2007 (Windows SharePoint Services 3.0)

in an environment composed ofthree computers

This tutorial is completing these previous ones

that was showing how to install SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 in SharePoint integrated mode

with SharePoint 2007 but on a single computer. In this tutorial, we are going to build a real Production

Environment.

Of course it would be better before doing this installation to have done at least once the installation on

a single machine with one service account: local administrator account.

01- Tutorial goalIn this installation tutorial, I will show a complete example of installation with the required service

accounts, in order to allow an Infrastructure Administrator to install SQL Server Reporting Services

2008 in SharePoint Integrated mode with SharePoint 2007 on three different computers for a real

production environment compliant with the principle of least privilege administration.

What I have noticed performing several interventions for different clients, is that the knowledge

required installing even Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 in a QA, staging, or Production

Environment is increasing more and more because the involved products (SharePoint, SQL Server,

IIS, etc.) are becoming more and more complex.

For that reason, it is difficult for people working in Infrastructure and Network Area to have the entire

required acknowledgement, and very often they need the support of SharePoint developers that are

used to install SharePoint on their own development environment. However, on the opposite,

SharePoint developers are not deploying very often the products on several machines using the

several service accounts required by the least-privilege administration policy that is recommended

when you configure a Production Environment. They are often, not either aware of the configuration

key elements that are needed by SharePoint, SQL Server, IIS, etc. to work on a multiple server

environment. If you add SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 to SharePoint 2007, the number of

operations to perform and choices to take, much more increases. So there is a knowledge gap to fill...

1 - Prerequisites

01 - Windows Server Domain and Active Directory

The machines ready for installation have joined a Domain. An Active Directory is available in this

Domain

The name of the Domain used in this tutorial is "CORPORATE".

02 - Service Accounts

As this tutorial is rather made for people working in Infrastructure Area, I do not show how to create a

domain account in Active Directory, and I put in the prerequisites the presence in the Active Directory

of the following Service Accounts in order to be able to build an environment compliant with the

principle of least privilege administration (Plan for administrative and service accounts (Office

SharePoint Server)):

SQL_SERVICE

SPS_SETUP

SPS_FARM

SSRS_SERVICE

SPS_AppPoolWebApp81

I will explain these accounts properties and roles in the next section.

03 - Available Server

Of course you have three available Servers running Windows 2003 Server OS ready for the

installation. The machine names I use in this post are the followings:

SQL2008

SSRS2008SPIM (for SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 in SharePoint Integrated Mode)

SHAREPOINT2007

I will indicate these servers role in the next section (that is to mean if they need to be Application

Server or not, thus if IIS is needed to be installed or not).

Three-Computer Deployment

The following illustration shows components for a three-computer deployment

The first computer hosts an instance of a SharePoint product or technology. The second computer

hosts SQL Server Reporting Services. The third computer hosts an instance of the Database Engine.

In the illustration, notice that the Database Engine does not require a local installation of a report

server or an instance of a SharePoint product or technology.

To use a remote database server with a deployment of a SharePoint product or technology, choose

the Advanced installation option when installing an instance of a SharePoint product or technology, or

use Central Administration to modify the database server setting. To select a remote database server

for Reporting Services, use the Reporting Services Configuration tool. For more information about

edition and connection requirements for a report server database, see Creating a Report Server

Database andHow to: Create a Report Server Database for SharePoint Integrated Mode (Reporting

Services Configuration).

Step 7: BIDS installation, Report creation, deployment and test.

WARNING:

when you are installing SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 in SharePoint Integrated Mode, and want

to keep being compliant with the least-privilege administration principle, this principle and its limitedpermissions become a problem because both, the configuration of report server and the installation of

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb522727.aspxhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb522727.aspxhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb522727.aspxhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb522727.aspx


8/34

SQL Server Reporting Services Add in for SharePoint fail due to the limited access of all these

accounts. But with a workaround you can install the products combination properly and restore the

permissions keeping compliant with the least privilege administration. Read carefully the following:

this is a part of the Technet article Plan for administrative and service accounts (Windows SharePoint

Services)

[...]

Least-privilege administration requirements when using domain user accounts

Least privilege administration is a recommended security practice in which each service or user is

provided with only the minimum privileges needed to accomplish the tasks they are authorized to

perform. This means that each service is granted access to only the resources that are necessary to

its purpose. The minimum requirements to achieve this design goal include the following:

- Separate accounts are used for different services and processes.

- No executing service or process account is running with local administrator permissions.

By using separate service accounts for each service and limiting the permissions assigned to each

account, you reduce the opportunity for a malicious user or process to compromise your environment.

Least privilege administration with domain user accounts is the recommended configuration for most

environments.

[...]

Regarding Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, let us examine the minimal services and processes

needed and we will understand least privilege basic administration for SharePoint.

Setting up SharePoint on each server computer: task requiring local administrator permissions

Running the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard: task requiring local

administrator permissions

Executing a Psconfig command-line: task requiring local administrator permissions

Executing an Stsadm command-line: task requiring local administrator permissions

Running the process of application pool identity for the SharePoint Central Administration Web

site: process that does not require local administrator permissions

Running the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service: service that does not require local

administrator permissions

Looking at the previous enumeration, if we assign the four first tasks to an account that has the local

administrator permission, and the two last to an account that has not the administrator permissions,

we are compliant with the least privilege administration principle.

Thus, the least privilege administration principle for SharePoint is based on two main user accounts:

Setup Account

Farm Account

The Setup Account is Administrator of all the servers where SharePoint is deployed. It is used also to

run the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard, and to execute Stsadm and

Psconfig command. This account is also one of the Farm administrators, and has access to the entire

operations provided by the SharePoint Central Administration.

The Farm Account appears as System Account when you are signed in with it on a SharePoint site,

but is not Administrator of any SharePoint server, thus you cannot perform a Psconfig or Stsadm

command using it. You cannot run the SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard

with it.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288210.aspxhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288210.aspxhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288210.aspxhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288210.aspx


9/34

Furthermore, in SharePoint Central Administration, the Farm account cannot access to the entire

administration tasks, for example, when you are connected to SharePoint Central Administration with

this account, in the Tab Operations, you cannot see the following links:

Services on Server

Incoming e-mail settings

And in Application Management Tab

Remove SharePoint from IIS Web Site

The Application Pool Identity Account is an account used during the creation of the first Web

Application. The least privilege administration requirements for this account are:

Use a separate domain user account for each application pool.

This account should not be a member of the Administrators group on any computer in the

server farm.

The Report Server Account that is required for SSRS installation is a fourth account that must have

least privilege, it is the Report Server account, here called SSRS_SERVICE. For this account, very

simple, it has no permissions at all. However, it might be useful to use it during installation process,you will see why...

The Installation Sequence overview with the workarounds

01 - Use the SharePoint Setup Account to install Reporting Services on the Report Server computer (it

has local administrator permissions for this computer because it will be used to install SharePoint on

this computer later).

02 - Use the SharePoint Setup Account to install SharePoint on the SharePoint Server.

03 - Use SharePoint Setup Account to create the Web Application but when prompted, reference the

Application Pool Identity Account

The additional operation will be to grant the dbo or db_owner permissions for the new created content

database to the SPS_SETUP account as specified in Technet documentation previously mentioned:

After each database has been created, change the database owner (dbo ordb_owner) to the Setup

User account.

04 - Configuring Reporting Services on the Report Server.

Here again there is additional operation to perform

Let us examine the permissions required by the account configuring SQL Server Reporting Services

2008.

1. Local administrator of the Report Server computer

If the account you are logged on with is not local administrator of the computer, you cannot open

Reporting Services Configuration Manager.

2. high privileges on the Database Engine

During the Report Server Databases creation, the configuration process is not only creating the

ReportServer and the ReportServerTemp Databases, but also configuring the Databases (rights

generation, connection rights application), and the account used by the process needs high

privileges on the Database Engine. For example, there is a request on msdb database :

USE msdb

if not exists (select * from sysusers where issqlrole = 1 and name = 'RSExecRole')

BEGIN

EXEC sp_addrole 'RSExecRole'



10/34

END

The consequence is that you cannot configure Reporting Services with SPS_SETUP account,

since it has unfortunately not enough permission on the database engine.

You have two solutions:

You grant temporary the database engine sysadmin permission to the Setup account.

You add temporary the SQL Database Engine administrator account to the administrators group ofReport Server computer, and you use this account to configure reporting Services.

(I am quite sure that the second solution will be never used).

05 - Workaround for Add In installation:

When you are installing Reporting Services Add In for SharePoint on the SharePoint computer, you

have temporary to grant the database engine sysadmin permission to the Setup account AND to add

temporary the Farm account to the machine Administrators, otherwise the Reporting Services Add In

installation fail over.

06 - Use the SharePoint Setup or Farm Account to configure Reporting Services on the SharePoint

Server.

Installation Trick:

In the current installation tutorial I have taken advantage of this workaround to perform Reporting

Services Configuration with the Reporting Services Account (here called SSRS_SERVICE). Doing that

I am able to check that the Report Server Web Service works well before installing Reporting Services

Add In for SharePoint.

In order to be allowed to do that, I had temporary to grant the database engine sysadmin permission to

the SSRS_SERVICE account and to temporary add this account to the Report Server computer

Administrators. (only computer Administrators can configure Reporting Services)

But you can skip this and configure Reporting Services with the SharePoint Setup account. In that

case, you will have to wait the end of the installation to be sure that the Report Server Web Service

works properly.

I will remind these operations in time using the red color.

At the end of the process as usual, you will obtain the displaying of the Central Administration Home

page

03 - Creating a Web Application on port 81 and a TestReportingServices Site Collection.

In order to have a Site Collection with a Root Web Site that can display SQL Server reporting services

2008 Reports, DataSources and so on in a SharePoint 2007 document library,

Perform the steps 2 to 4 of the previous post:

Integrating Reporting Services 2008 with SharePoint 2007 step 4 - Configuring reporting services for SharePoint

3.0 Integration

For step 5 because we are in a multiple server environement and want to be compliant with the least

privilege administration principle, do the following:

In the "Create New Web Application" page, Application Pool section, select "Create new application

pool" option, type the name of your new Application Pool, select "Cofigurable" and type the name and

the password of the Application Pool Identity domain account.

20/34

Then, perform your Site Collection creation and check that the Site Collection is properly created.

Now, we have to grant the dbo permission to the SPS_SETUP account for the brand new created

WSS_Content_WEBAPP81 content database. If we do not do that, we will not be able to perform

operations using stsadm command for the new created Web Application, its Site Collections, its Web

Sites, etc., because we will get an "Access Denied" exception.

Logon to the SQL Server computer (SQL2008).

Open the SQL Management Studio.

Locate the login for SPS_SETUP account.

Right Click the Login and select properties.

In the opening dialog click "User Mapping".

Locate the WSS_Content_WebApp81 database.

Check the check box for the database.

In "Database role member ship for: WSS_Content_WEBAPP81" pane check the check box for

db_owner.

Click OK.

3.4 - Step 4: Installation of SharePoint 2007 on SSRS2008SPIM

01 - Start SharePoint installation on SSRS2008SPIM

Logon to SSRS2008SPIM with the SPS_SETUP domain user account (that has Administrator

permissions on this server too).

21/34

First of all start by stopping the IIS default web site in order to avoid conflicts with the web service of

Report server that also uses port 80.

Launch SHAREPOINT 2007 installation as in the previous post: Integrating Reporting Services 2008

with SharePoint 2007 - SharePoint Installation

Follows the steps 4 to 9. (Until closing the first installation wizard with the check box unchecked).

When Setup finishes, a dialog box prompt you to complete the configuration of your server. Be surethat the "Run the SharePoint Products and technologies Configuration Wizard now" check box IS

selected. (It is the opposite of what we have done for installation of SharePoint 2007 on

SHAREPOINT2007 server).

Click "Next". On the "Connect to a Server farm" dialog select "Yes I want to connect to an existing

Farm".

Click "Next". On the "Specify Configuration Database Settings" type "SQL2008" for the databases

server name, then click "Retrieve Database Names" button.

The wizard retrieves not only the SharePoint Configuration database, but also the Farm Service

Account...

...so you just have the password to type

Click "next" to launch configuration and wait until the "Configuration Successful" dialog.

23/34

As usual, when you close this Dialog, SharePoint Central Administration Web Site Home Page

Appears.

02 - Check SharePoint installation on SSRS2008SPIM

Take advantage of this page to check that SSRS2008SPIM server has now joined the SharePoint

Farm.

Click Operation Tab, then servers in farm link. You can see the presence of the computer as a new

Server of the SharePoint Farm.

There is another thing you can notice since SSRS2008SPIM is a Web Front End. Open IIS and Notice

that a "SharePoint - 81" Web Application in now available. Right click the Web Application node in IIS

and click "Browse".

The testReportingServices Site Collection Root Web Site will be served by the SSRS2008SPIM

computer as it is become a new Web Front End of a SharePoint Farm.

3.5 - Step 5: Configuration and test of the Report Server on SSRS2008SPIM

I could keep using SharePoint Setup account (SPS_SETUP) to configure report server, but configuring

Report Server with Reporting Services account will allow me to check the Report Server Web Service

before having installed Reporting Services Add In for SharePoint on the SharePoint computer, andbefore having configured SharePoint for Reporting Services.

(If you prefer to keep using SharePoint Setup account (SPS_SETUP) to configure report server do not

forget to Logon to SQL2008 and grant the sysadmin permissions to SPS_SETUP since it has not

enough permissions to configure the Report Server Databases.)

01 - Preparing SSRS_SERVICE account to configure Reporting Services

Add SSRS_SERVICE to the Administrators Group of the Report Server computer (SSRS2008SPIM).

To use Report Server Configuration Manager you must be logged as an Administrator.

Logoff from SSRS2008SPIM and re-logon with SSRS-SERVICE.

Logon to SQL2008 and grant temporary the sysadmin permissions to SSRS_SERVICE

02 - Creating report Server databases

Open Report Server Configuration Manager and connect to the default instance of the current server

On the left menu click database, then, on opening dialog, click change database to open the change

database dialog.

Select "create a new report Server Database", then click "Next".

On database server dialog notice that the SQL 2008 Server Computer has been retrieved, and that the

account is SSRS_SERVICE.

Do not forget to test database connection.

server to retrieve the service account information. Be sure to enter credentials for an account that is a

member of the local Administrators group on the report server computer. In our case, SPS_SETUP

has the required permissions to perform this task.

When the page is refreshed, you can open a browser window and type the url of the report Server

Web Service: http://ssrs2008spim/reportserver

Notice that you are now connected to the SharePoint Sites and Libraries. Your Installation is done!

Don't forget to:

Logon to SQL2008 and remove the sysadmin permissions to SPS_SETUP

Logon to SHAREPOINT2007 and remove SPS_FARM from the Administrators group.

3.7 - Step 7: BIDS installation, Report creation, deployment and test

01 - BIDS installation

I have chosen to install BIDS on SSRS2008SPIM computer to be as close as possible to a real

Production Environment where BIDS will not be installed on the SharePoint machine.

Doing that, I will be sure to succeed in deploying report remotely using the current environment.

Logon to SSRS2008SPIM with SPS_SETUP account. Run the SQL Server installation package, and

select "Add a feature to the current installation". Select Visual Studio and wait until installation process

is complete.

02 - Report Creation

Open BIDS.

Create a report (if needed install Adventure Works as a sample Database).

You can do my previous tutorial:

Integrating reporting Services 2008 with SharePoint 2007 Step 6 - Report Creation and Deployment

For the project properties, type the following:

TargetDataSourceFolder: http://SHAREPOINT2007:81/shared documents

TargetReportFolder: http://SHAREPOINT2007:81/shared documents

TargetServerURL: http://SHAREPOINT2007:81/

03 - Report Deployment

Perform deployment with BIDS.

If you try to see the deployed report now, you will have a credential exception. You will be able to see

the type of this exception only on the report Server machine: SSRS2008SPIM.

The error type will only be displayed on the Report Server Web Service when you are logged on to

SSRS2008SPIM. And Reporting Services errors can be examined. This is the path of the Log Files ofSQL Server 2008 Reporting Services:

c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles

04 - Report Data Source Configuration

To solve this error logon to SHAREPOINT2007.

Go to the Shared Documents documents library of the TestReportingServices Web Site, and locate

the file Report1.rdl (that has not its extension visible).
