I have a couple of questions, I hope you can help me with this one. 1. I tried accessing the report manager in BIVPC using this http://bi-vpc/reports but they redirect me to their sharepoint site(http://bi-vpc/Reports/Pages/Default.aspx). I tried this one also http://localhost/reports but same thing they redirect me to http://bi-vpc/Reports/Pages/Default.aspx. Is there a way that I can access the Report Manager in BI-VPC wherein I can create and edit the "folder","Report Builder",and "Datasource" or we are not permitted to access this one? 2. I got an error msg when I tried deploying my report model project from BIDS using this targetURL: http://bi-vpc/ReportServer. The error below was what I got. "The path of the item '/Data Sources/Adventure Works' is not valid. The full path must be less than 260 characters long; other restrictions apply. If the report server is in native mode, the path must start with slash" I tried using the default URL which is the http://localhost/ReportServer but I got this error "Report Server has encountered a SharePoint error" instead. Did anyone encountered the same problem before? Your help will be appreciated. Thanks, Ness Thanks a lot, Agnes Hi everyone,

I installed the MS BI VPC 2007 in my own machine. I have a couple of questions, I hope you can help me with this one.

1. I tried accessing the report manager in BIVPC using this http://bi-vpc/reports but they redirect me to their sharepoint site(http://bi-vpc/Reports/Pages/Default.aspx). I tried this one also http://localhost/reports but same thing they redirect me to http://bi-vpc/Reports/Pages/Default.aspx.

Is there a way that I can access the Report Manager in BI-VPC wherein I can create and edit the “folder”,”Report Builder”,and “Datasource” or we are not permitted to access this one?

2. I got an error msg when I tried deploying my report model project from BIDS using this targetURL: http://bi-vpc/ReportServer. The error below was what I got.

“The path of the item ‘/Data Sources/Adventure Works’ is not valid. The full path must be less than 260 characters long; other restrictions apply. If the report server is in native mode, the path must start with slash”

I tried using the default URL which is the http://localhost/ReportServer but I got this error “Report Server has encountered a SharePoint error” instead.

Did anyone encountered the same problem before? Your help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ness

Thanks a lot,
Agnes

Anyway, I used the Vitual PC 2007 and I've got guest os running interactively with me. Hi Russel,

If so, if nothing else you should see an image of your image "lighting up" in the console itself as the VM posts, the OS loads, etc...Then use the Virtual Machine Remote Client to connect.
