Warning

For information on installing and configuring Reporting Services for SharePoint integrated mode, see Configuring Reporting Services for SharePoint 2010 Integration in SQL Server Books Online.

If you installed a report server using the files-only installation option, you must use the Configuration Manager to configure the server so that it can be used. If you installed a report server in the default configuration installation option, you can use this tool to verify or modify the settings that were specified during setup. If you are upgrading from a previous version, you can use this tool to update the report server database to the new format.

The Reporting Services Configuration manager can be used to configure a local or remote report server instance. You must have local system administrator permissions on the computer that hosts the report server you want to configure.
