Application Pool

  • Is an application pool require in IIS for my SSRS reports If I'm having the users click on a web link to get to the reports.

  • No, there is no dependency on IIS for reporting services whatsoever

    If you are hosting this link from a web application, then the web application will/should have its own application pool

  • I didn't think so, but I though I ask however I was wondering why reports come up looking like a DOS Directory and not the SSRS background/look-feel.

  • That's because you are serving them the wrong link 😀

    My guess is you are giving them the web service URL - something like:

    http://<<SSRSServerName>>[/b%5D/ReportServer

    But you should be using the Report Manager URL:

    http://<<SSRSServerName>>[/b%5D/Reports

    Which will actually redirect them to the link below anyway:

    http://<<SSRSServerName>>[/b%5D/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
