Hi,
I have an issue with my testing of the ACS reporting in two test environments (SCOM 2012 SP1). One has SQL installed on the same server as the MS and the other is a separate SQL install on its own server with multiple MS’s. On both SQL servers the ACS database is running on the same server as the other SCOM databases under an instance called SCOM. When we go live the intention is to run on a separate SQL server so not sure if this would still be relevant at that point.
First off all my normal reports are running fine from the console and from SQL reporting services. My understanding is that the reports are running under different contexts at this point – the web reporting with the account I am logged in with and from within SCOM console trying to use the data reader account.
When trying from the web reporting services or SCOM console I get -
“An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot create a connection to data source 'dataSource1'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection)
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)”
With regard to the account I am using for the web reporting. It’s a domain admin account. However what I also did was create a global security group called “SCOMACS” and gave this group “db_datareader” permissions within SQL.
I also gave the data reader service account permissions to see if this fixed the issue from the console.
Wonder if anyone could help?
