  Hi All,

  New to Reporting (using ssrs 2012). Tried to open Report Manager using http://<my machine name>/reports

  It's asking for Authentication... UserName and password.

  I'm using Windows Authentication to connect to sql server 2012 database engine.

  Not sure how to open Report Manager.

  Any help would allow me to move further...

  Thanks

  ...edit...

  I got a work around for the problem but not sure if the solution is right. I created password for the Administrator account. When I give the user name and password after i type the URL : http://rahul-hp/Reports in IE, it's showing all the report folders. When clicked on a report, I am able to view the report BUT the problem is.. I am not getting the context menu when i click on either the folder or a report ( which contains 'Manage' option). Please help me out...

  Also,Could anyone let me know if browsers like Google Chrome and IE 10 both work with the same fuctionality when working with Report Manager or is there a preferred browser to work with Report Manager. ( IE should be the preferred one but not sure)

  someone told me that IE11 is giving problems some times. Install IE10 instead.

  I followed that but in vain

  Got the solution at last.... The culprit is browser IE10 and IE11.

  Solution I followed : Go to Tools -> F12 Developer Tools

  (at the bottom of the browser window) Select Browser Mode = Internet Explorer 10 Compatibility View.

  Report Manager in this mode is working fine. If someone has a better alternate please reply.
