How to recreate subscriptions on a new server without doing a restore?

  • Hi all,
    Is it possible to safely recreate subscriptions (standard & data driven) from one server on another server without doing a restore of the reportserver DB & subscriptions table?  A new server will be built and instead of doing a restore migration we would prefer to do a clean rebuild. 
    thanks

    Another option would be to use Powershell and the ReportingServicesTools module. They added some cmdlets recently which allow for exporting and importing subscriptions. This link goes over the details of using those:

  • I have not used either of these tools, should be interesting.  Thanks for the links!
    Thank you Alex and Sue, your input is greatly appreciated.
