Reporting Task Area

DPM uses Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services as the basis for its reporting functionality.

SQL Server Reporting Services includes a Report Manager tool that is not installed during DPM

installation. Because settings made through Report Manager can create conflicts with DPM

settings, we recommend that you do not install the Report Manager tool that is included with

SQL Server Reporting Services.
