Answered by:
Full Computer Name vs Computer Name

Question
-
I had some issues with the reporting services. I finally found the solution (at least it passes the test) by changing to address to http://[Full Computer Name]/ReportServer instead of http://[Computer name]/ReportServer. Now I wonder if during the step
"Specify Deployment Options" -> "Enter or select the name of the computer that is running SQL Server to use with the deployment"
I should also use the full name? When should I use the full name vs the short name anyways.
For reference, the above change solved the following error:
Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services
Setup failed to validate specified Reporting Services [...] The operation you are attempting requires a secure connection (HTTPS)...According to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2011889 I should just lower the security requirements from level 2 to 0 but I felt uncomfortable doing this, others did not seems to have the same issue (though some did), and I could not write to the file anyways even after stopping the reporting service (which I figured has a lock on the file).

I would definitely use the Full Qualified Domain Name.

Hi,
Usually on every installation recommendation is to use the Computer name instead of Full Qualified Domain Name (may only require in case of multiple domains running with trust) also in case of changing the domain name (although it is very rare) could cause server to be inaccesible.
try accessing the Report Server Url via browser and still If you are unable to resolve the Report Server (may try reconfiduring Report Server and Manager Urls from Report Services configuration Tool) then you may preffer Full Qualified Domain Name
