This is the server to which the MBAM Configuration Manager Reports are deployed. If you don’t specify a server, the Configuration Manager Reports will be deployed to the local server.
   SQL Server Reporting Services instance	Name of the SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) instance where the Configuration Manager Reports are deployed. If you don’t specify an instance, the Configuration Manager Reports will be deployed to the default SSRS instance name. The value you enter is ignored if the server has System Center 2012 Configuration Manager installed.

5. On the Summary page, review the features that will be added.
