Hello.
I am trying to install Reporting Services 2019 on a Windows Server 2016 with SQL Standard 2019. The installation appears to proceed but then decides to roll back and the SSRS folder is removed. Looking at the log I get this error which I think is causing my issue but I haven't been able to find a direction to look at:
Install Step Microsoft.BIServer.Setup.AddAccountToGroupsStep threw exception. System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.ArgumentException: The parameter is incorrect.
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---
at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] args)
at Microsoft.BIServer.Configuration.GroupManager.AddUserToGroup(DirectoryEntry group, AccountCredentials accountCredentials)
at Microsoft.BIServer.Configuration.GroupManager.AddAccountToPerformanceMonitorUsers(AccountCredentials accountCredentials)
at SetupEngine.Install()
1|Attempting to roll back...
Windows Server is up to date and the SQL Server appears to be working correctly and as I can access from SSMS.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dave
I knew as soon as I posted, I would figure it out. . The 2016 server had AD on it and instead of SSRS throwing an error about being on a DC, it gave me the error
above. Maybe that will help some one in the future.
Thanks
Dave

Could you please introduce how to resolve?
Hello. If I remember correctly I had installed the AD role before installing SSRS and received the error.
I ended up uninstalling the AD role, installing SSRS and then reinstalling the AD role. Everything seemed
to work after that. Hope it helps. Thanks
Hi Dave,
Thanks for your reply! But when I removing AD role in Window Server, it must be demoted so that remote failed.
Hello. That appears to be correct. SSRS appears to check and can only install on a member server. This is why the AD role must be removed and then added back after in if trying to install on a AD machine. This is what worked for me. I could not find another way to get it to install. Hope that helps.
Thank you very much! I will have a try.
