CRM 2011 installation - reporting server error

Hello,

I'm trying to install MS CRM 2011 on a clean new Windows Server with a clean SQL Server instalaltion, but every time the installation fails with following error:

Setup failed to validate specified Reporting Services Report Server http://crm2011/reportserver. Error: Unknown exception thrown by report server Client found response content type of '', but expected 'text/xml'. The request failed with an empty response.

It looks like a Reporting Server error, but when I try the report server url in browser, it works. I'm running the installation under a user with domain admin rights, all updates are installed.

Does anybody have some suggestion?

Thank you.

Hi

you need make sure you have added the user ids and machines to he Activie Directory groups, if you do not have Domain Admin access. If you SSRS and SQL are working indpendently, then usually that's where the issues lie.

Please check this link for step by step for installing MS CRM with pre-created AD groups.
