IT Analytics

In envirnonments where the instance of SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services used by Altiris IT Analytics Solution is on the same host and website as the Notification Server, Reporting Services Reports within the IT Analytics will not function after R7 is installed. In this instance, the application of R7 will force the website that houses the virtual directories for Notification Server to operate under .NET 1.1. This means that any other virtual directory hosted under the same website in IIS will be forced to use .NET 1.1 regardless of whether or not those virtual directories have been set to use .NET 2.0. Since Reporting Services requires .NET 2.0 this will cause Reporting Services to not function properly.

This article lists the steps for successfully configuring SQL 2005 Reporting Services and Analysis Services for optimal integration with Altiris IT Analytics Solution

Report Builder is a component of SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services that allows ad-hoc reporting functionality enabling end users to build their own reports and charts.

This can be integrated with IT Analytics to expose custom charts built with Reporting Services inside the Altiris console.
