hi ALL, Can anyone share step by step configuration of ACS? THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Hi Geek,please, start here:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb381258.aspxAnd download ACS Master Class Videos here:http://www.securevantage.com/ACSTraining.aspxAnd look at the Documentation here:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/opsmgr/bb498235.aspxJan

Thanks for the reply. I have installed the ACS and have enabled the ACS on the server that I wanted to. Is that it?

I am facing problems when running reports An error occurred during client rendering. An error has occurred during report processing. Cannot create a connection to data source 'dataSource1'. A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server

Anybody?

Anybody?

If you look at the datasource, go to the sql report web http://servername/reports, and look at the properties of datasource1, under Audit Reports, does it look correct?Anders Bengtsson | Microsoft MVP - Operations Manager | http://www.contoso.se

I have uninstalled everything. I am doing it all over again. All the blogs mention how to upload the reports with default instance, not a single blog mentions it how you would do it with the named instance?Looked at one of the seurevantage videos and figured out the right command? I am yet to test it, but I will let you know.

I also Got Cannot create a connection to data source 'dataSource1'. This happened when i ran IE as a user and connecter to the report server via http://server/Reports As The SQL admin account i used to setup ACS i Could Run reports fine! In my case heres what i did to fix it. open IE as the account you used to install ACS in my case SQLADMACC (if using Server 2008 log in as the SQL ADM Account and run IE as Administrator or you wont see properties) go to http://Server/Reports click Audit Reports Click show details Click DB Audit Select oCredentials stored securely in the report server enter the SQL admin username & Password Tick Use as Windows credentials when connecting to the data source click APPLY Hope this helps someone out there! i had a right pain finding this and wasted at least 4 hours thrawling forums. Realistically Microsoft should have a better step by step on configuring acs. i followed the install guide which never mentioned importing reports!!!! :-( ... that i had to find on another forum. I then had to google on how to give access to the reports Then i had to figure this bit out cheerio fellow Admins
