Database server version requirements

SQL Server is used to host the report server databases. The SQL Server Database Engine instance can be a local or remote instance. The following are the supported versions of SQL Server Database Engine that can be used to host the report server databases:

  • Azure SQL Managed Instance (Power BI Report Server January 2020 version and later)
  • SQL Server 2022
  • SQL Server 2019
  • SQL Server 2017
  • SQL Server 2016
  • SQL Server 2014
  • SQL Server 2012

When you create the report server database on a remote computer, you have to configure the connection to use a domain user account or a service account with network access. If you decide to use a remote SQL Server instance, consider carefully which credentials the report server should use to connect to the SQL Server instance. For more information, see Configure a Report Server Database Connection.

Considerations

Power BI Report Server will install default values to configure the core settings required to make a report server operational. It has the following requirements:

  • The supported languages for Power BI Report Server are - English, German, Spanish, Japanese, Italian, French, Russian, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Portuguese Brazil, Korean
  • A SQL Server Database Engine must be available after setup and before you configure the database for the report server. The Database Engine instance hosts the report server database that Reporting Services Configuration Manager will create. The Database Engine is not required for the actual setup experience.
  • Reporting Services Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server outlines differences between the editions of SQL Server.
  • The user account that runs Setup must be a member of the local Administrators group.
  • The user account that runs Reporting Services Configuration Manager must have permission to access and create databases on the Database Engine instance that hosts the report server databases.
  • Setup must be able to use the default values to reserve the URLs that provide access to the report server and the web portal. These values are port 80, a strong wildcard, and the virtual directory names in the format ReportServer and Reports.

Read-only domain controller (RODC)

You can install the report server in an environment that has a Read-Only Domain Controller (RODC). However, Reporting Services needs access to a Read-Write Domain Controller to function properly. If Reporting Services only has access to a RODC, you may encounter errors when trying to administer the service.

Power BI reports and Analysis Services live connections

You can use a live connection against tabular or multidimensional instances. Your Analysis Services server has to be the proper version and edition to work properly.

Server version Required SKU
2012 SP1 CU4 or later Business Intelligence and Enterprise SKU
2014 Business Intelligence and Enterprise SKU
2016 and later Standard SKU or higher
