Turn Reporting Services Features On or Off

You can turn off report server features that you do not use as part of a lockdown strategy for reducing the attack surface of a production report server. In most cases, you will want to run Reporting Services features concurrently to use all of the functionality provided in Reporting Services. However, depending on your deployment model, you can disable the features that you do not require. For example, you can enable only the background processing if all report processing is configured as scheduled operations. Similarly, you can run just the Report Server Web service if you only want interactive, on-demand reporting.

The procedures in this topic show you how to turn off native mode Reporting Services features. Features can be configured in different ways, such as by editing the RsReportServer.config file directly or by using the Surface Area Configuration for Reporting Services facet of Policy-Based Management in SQL Server Management Studio. Use the links to locate the procedure or procedures that explain how to turn a feature on or off:

  • Report Server Web service

  • Scheduled events and processing

  • Report Manager

  • Report Builder

  • Windows Integrated security for report data sources
