Turn Reporting Services features on or off

  • Artikkel

You can turn off report server features that you don't use as part of a lockdown strategy for reducing the attack surface of a production report server. In most cases, you 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 don't 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 article 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:
