Installing Dynamics CRM 2011 Update Rollup 17 may break CRM reports

After applying Update Rollup 17 to the CRM Server, CRM reports may fail with error:

webserver!ReportServer_0-8!1398!10/01/2014-12:17:17:: e ERROR: Reporting Services error Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.RSException: The Hidden expression for the tablix ‘Table0’ contains an error: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessingException: The Hidden expression for the tablix ‘Table0’ contains an error: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.

 

The cause of this is that CRM 2011 Update Rollup 17 has utilized 'Globals!RenderFormat' a new functionality introduced with SQL Reporting services 2008 R2. Therefore users who are on SQL 2008 will see failures in report rendering with the error mentioned above.

 

We have decided to update the supportability matrix and SQL 2008 will not be supported for CRM 2011 from UR17 or later.

So you may see the compatibility Matrix updated in below URL:

The recommended solution is to have SQL upgraded to 2008 R2.
