Resolution

In order to resolve this issue, please verify the following:

  • Verify the Reporting Agent Service account has permissions to access the storage for reports.
  • If using non-local storage, a Domain Admin account is required to write to a non-local hard drive.
  • Verify IIS settings allow the Reporting Agent Service to create the virtual folders for the reports.
  • Check the path used in the AMADMIN_SetReportsPath Knowledge Script to ensure the proper report path is being used.

Note: Changing the Service Account of the Reporting Agent requires both Agent Services to be restarted.
