We're having an issue with Dynamics CRM 4.0.
Environment:
Dynamics CRM Enterprise 4.0 Update Rollup 20
Windows 2008 R2, SQL 2008 R2
Platform and Database servers on separate virtual machines
On-Premise deployment
We are using an imported organisation, the web site, outlook connectors and reports are all working without issue.
The issue we're having is that all workflows and system jobs are stuck in the Waiting status. Looking into the organisation database, we see a message like so:
Select Message from AsyncOperationBase where AsyncOperationId = 'SOMETHING';
We see a message that indicates the CrmService returned a 401 Unauthorized.
Using a browser, we can browse to:
http://crmserver/orgname/mscrmservices/2007/CrmService.asmx
and the service is correctly returned, however, when we browse to
http://crmserver/mscrmservices/2007/CrmService.asmx
we receive a 401.2 error.
Additionally, we can access the other services, such as the discovery service, via their normal path (without the org name). It's only the CrmService.asmx that displays the problem.
The CrmAsync and AppPool are all running under Network Service, and this issue is only affecting workflows.
We've tried Unpublishing/Republishing all workflows to no avail. We've run the IFD tool to ensure the server names are correctly set. We have uninstalled/re-installed.
Now we're stuck. Any ideas?
Turns out that the problem was related to hosting WSUS on the same web application as the Dynamics CRM service.
Fixed the problem by reinstalling Dynamics CRM to its own web application.

Our team has setup a Windows Server to specifically run SSRS in it. We have the reports running well but we wanted to manage several tasks under the Browser role to get rid of a couple of things. I believe this can be accessed through SSMS by logging in to the Report Server. I did this just fine but when I'm trying to open the properties of the Browser role, it is grayed out and can't be selected. Am I doing something wrong here?
A couple of notes to clear things out:
I'm already using an admin account on the server
The Reporting Server is installed separately to a source DB from which we get to access data
I'm able to do this just fine when both Reporting Server and source DB are on the server
I'm using SQL Server 2016 with the same version of SSRS
We have figured it out. We just need to open SSMS as administrator. Might just be a user error of some sort as we do not need to do this on other servers. Thanks.
I have installed SSRS 2016 developer locally on my machine.
I can't get the report manager page to load and in the log files I get this error:
Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ServerConfigurationErrorException: AuthzInitializeContextFromSid: Win32 error: 1355
I have search and seem to get back to this article each time:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/842423
But how would I do this or apply these on my local machine?
I have tried changing the service user to Network Service and Local Service/System, and also my domain login I use which has local admin rights but always get this same error.
Can anyone suggest anything else I can try?
This is fixed in SQL 2016 SP1 update
this appears very similar to a known issue with SQL 2016. A patch is due soon with Cumulative Update #1. If you are on a domain joined machine, and the server does not have access to the domain controller (e.g. you aren't VPN'd, don't have wifi, etc...) this AuthZ call will fail.
I have created a Report Server Project in Visual Studio 2013. The actual report server was a pre-existing server whose reports were previously populated via the Report Builder tool. I have downloaded the .RDL files locally and added them to the project under the /Reports folder.
When I try to deploy the reports I am receiving the 'TargetServerURL' is not valid error. I have researched the answers here and here.
I can successfully navigate to http:///Reports_PRODUCTION which displays the reports, and also to http:///ReportServer_PRODUCTION which offers an FTP-view of the report structure.
In the project properties I have set the 'TargetServerURL' to both of these URLs and neither has worked. I've verified that the target server version is correctly set - SQL Server 2008 R2. Am I missing something?
Thanks
I found out something, so that's why I post to this old question.
I had the same problems after starting a new VS2013 SSRS project and tried to deploy to the same RS server, but to a different server.
I kept getting the error: The specified TargetServerURL is not valid. Specify a valid URL for report server in the deployment settings.
After quadruple checking everything,I found that I was changing the ssrs project property on Release mode but in VS 2013 I was deploying the project in Debug mode. After changing the VS 2013 configuration to run as Release it found the right ssrs project settings and deployed fine on first run.
I read these answers and looked in my Configuration Manager (Right click project name > Properties > Configuration Manager > and picked the Server that was configured. It shows up checked like the image. I had been uploading with correct info, just didn't have the configuration fully done on my new project which used files and locations from older project:

I would start by looking at what SSRS thinks the service endpoint is and I bet that is the one you should be using.
Open the Sql Server 20XX Reporting Service Configuration Manager.
NOTE : This is found under the Sql Server progam group and maybe in a subfolder.
Select the service instance you want to connect to and click Connect
Navigate to the "Web Service Url" Tree List View Item in the list on the left hand side of the window.
Note the URLs: value in the "Report Server Web Service URLs" group box at the bottom of the Web Service URL panel. (This is the url you should use to connect with)
NOTE : If this is on a remote server then you will need to http or https to the domain in place of localhost or machine name if that is how the Report service was set up. If you can not access https:\\MACHINENAME/SSRS from your local machine then simply replace the url with https:\\www.mymachinenameurl.com/SSRS
make sure your deployment settings for the configuration you are deploying from are set (deploying in debug, ensure you are referring to debug deployment settings)
trust me I've been there .. Allot
I reached here because I've had the same error, and I was not able to deploy my report .
Anyways, at some point I tried to deploy the report manually by uploading to the library that I've already prepared with the Reporting Content Types, but the datasource was appearing as unknown file types, and couldn't access Manage Data Sources of the report.
tried to run the report hopelessly and noticed the url
http://ServerName/PWA/_layouts/15/ReportServer/RSViewerPage.aspx?rv:RelativeReportUrl=/PWA/Reports%20Library/Weekly%20Status%20Report.rdl
I tried to use the url http://ServerName/PWA/_layouts/15/ReportServer as "TargetServerURL" and it worked
for the other properties like the Datasets, reports ... I used the following urls
Report: http://ServerName/PWA/Reports%20Library/
DataSets: http://ServerName/PWA/Reports%20Library/Datasets
datasource: http://ServerName/PWA/Reports%20Library/datasource
and this was the end of my suffer and was able to deploy correctly and manage every property of the report, datasets, and datasources
I am working on setting up my report server to use a web service as an XML datasource. I seem to be having authentication issues between the web service and the report with I choose to use Integrated security. Here's what I have:
1) I have a website w/ an exposed service. This website is configured to run ONLY on Integrated Security. This means that we have all other modes turned off AND Enabled anonymous access turned off under directory security.
2) Within the Web.config of the website, I have the authentication mode set to Windows.
3) I have the report datasource set to being an XML data source. I have the correct URL to the service and have it set to Windows Integrated Security. Since I am making a hop from the Browser to the Reporting Server to the Web Service, I wonder if I am having an issue w/ Kerberos, but I am not sure.
When I try to access the service, I get a 401 error.
Here are the IIS logs that I am generating:
2011-01-07 14:52:12 W3SVC IP_ADDY POST /URL.asmx - 80 - IP_ADDY - 401 1 0
2011-01-07 14:52:12 W3SVC IP_ADDY POST /URL.asmx - 80 - IP_ADDY - 401 1 5
Has anyone worked out this issue before? Thanks!
It does sound like you are experiencing the "double hop" issue. Is it possible to create an account on your web service that the reporting server uses explicitly instead of passing through the users credentials?
There's a simpler solution if you dont want to muck around with Kerberos... although the user experience is less desirable.
On the Data Source...If you check the "Credentials supplied by the user running the report" and the "Use as Windows credentials when connecting to the data source" then the user will be promoted to log in when they run the report. Since the credentials are being supplied to the SSRS server it's only a single hop from SSRS to the webservice... thus avoiding the double-hop NTLM authentication problem.
It's less user-friendly, though, since you have to log in to run the report.
I am building custom reports in Microsoft CRM and am using the CRM_URL parameter to created drill downs.
However, the URL coming in is ***http://**myserver.com/org/CRMReports...* but it should be **https://**myserver.com/org/CRMReports...
My understanding is that this value is dynamically passed in by MS CRM. How/where can I update this URL to use https?
you need to use the SRSS config tool. =>

"Edit UrlRoot in the RSReportServer.config File
If you are using the report server e-mail delivery extension, you can create subscriptions that included a report URL in the e-mail message. To construct the report URL, the report server uses the UrlRoot configuration setting in the RSReportServer.config file. If the report runs on a report server that is accessed through an SSL connection, you must manually edit the UrlRoot to use the https:// prefix.
If you are using a server certificate, the format of the URL is as follows:
<UrlRoot>https://certificatename/reportservervirtualdirectoryname</UrlRoot>
The answer to my issue was #4 & #5 from this link:
http://rc.crm.dynamics.com/rc/regcont/en_us/op/articles/secure_comm.aspx#ID0EFD
For deployments that will not be used
by external clients, which connect
over the Internet, follow these steps:
Obtain a certificate from a CA. To use certificates you will have set
up a public key infrastructure (PKI),
which consists of one or more CAs that
are linked in a hierarchy. These CAs
and the PKI are required to manage
certificate issuance, validation,
renewal, and revocation in one or more
organizations. You can use a
third-party PKI with Microsoft Windows
Server 2003, or you can establish your
own PKI, based on Windows Server 2003
Certificate Services.
Make sure that there are no users accessing Internet Information
Services (IIS) where the Microsoft
Dynamics CRM Web application is
installed. To do this, stop the
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web site:
right-click the Web site, and then
click Stop.
Configure the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web site to use SSL. To do this,
perform the following steps on the
server running IIS where the Microsoft
Dynamics CRM Web application is
installed:
1. Start Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
2. Right-click the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web site, and then click
Properties.
3. Click the Directory Security tab, click Server
Certificate, and then follow the
instructions in the Web Server
Certificate Wizard.
4. If you want clients to only use SSL when they connect to the
Microsoft Dynamics CRM application, on
the Directory Security tab in the
Secure communications area, click
Edit.
5. On the Secure Communications dialog box, click the
Require secure channel (SSL) check
box.
6. Close Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
Important: You can apply only a single certificate to the Microsoft
Dynamics CRM Web site. Therefore, you
if you have configured Microsoft
Dynamics CRM Server for both internal
and Internet-facing (external) access,
you cannot configure SSL for both
internal and external connections to
the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web site.
You must manually modify the following values in the configuration
database.
Warning: Incorrectly modifying the configuration database
(MSCRM_CONFIG) can cause unexpected
behavior in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM
system or cause the system to stop
working. We recommend that you back up
the Microsoft Dynamics CRM system
before you complete these steps. For
information about how to back up the
Microsoft Dynamics CRM system, see the
Operating and Maintaining Guide that
is part of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM
4.0 Implementation Guide document set.
1. On the computer running Microsoft SQL Server, start SQL Server
Management Studio.
2. Expand Databases, expand MSCRM_CONFIG, expand Tables,
right-click dbo.DeploymentProperties,
and then click Open Table.
3. In the dbo.DeploymentProperties table under
the ColumnName column, in the
ADRootDomainScheme row, change the
NVarCharColumn column value from http
to https. Note that this value must be
in lower-case letters.
4. In the dbo.DeploymentProperties table, under
the ColumnName column, in the
ADSdkRootDomain row, change the
NVarCharColumn column value by using
the name of the certificate configured
for the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web
site. The name of the certificate can
be found, in Internet Information
Services (IIS) Manager, on the
Directory Security tab of the
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web site
properties page.
5. Click View Certificate.
6. On the Certificate dialog box, click Details.
7. Click the Friendly Name field to locate the certificate name.
If the certificate name is the same as
the computer name, you can use the
format ServerName:SSLPortNumber. By
default, the TCP port for SSL
connections is 443.
8. In the dbo.DeploymentProperties table, under
the ColumnName column, in the
ADWebApplicationRootDomain row, change
the NVarCharColumn column value by
using the name of the certificate
configured for the Microsoft Dynamics
CRM Web site. If the certificate name
is the same as the computer name, you
can use the format
ServerName:SSLPortNumber. By default,
the TCP port for SSL connections is
443.
9. Make sure your modifications are saved and then close
SQL Server Management Studio.
Modify the LocalSDKPort Windows registry subkey value. To do this,
complete the following steps.
Warning: Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry
incorrectly by using Registry Editor
or by using another method. These
problems might require that you
reinstall the operating system and
Microsoft Dynamics CRM. We cannot
guarantee that these problems can be
solved. Modify the registry at your
own risk.
1. Start Registry Editor, and locate the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSCRM
subkey.
2. Right-click LocalSdkPort, click Modify, and then click OK.
3. In the Base area, click Decimal, and then type the TCP port.
4. Click OK.
5. Close Registry Editor.
Restart IIS. To do this, at the command line, run the iisreset
command.
Start the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web site. To do this, right-click the
Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web site, and
then click Start.
Restart the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Asynchronous Processing Service.
To do this, click Start, point to
Administrative Tools, and then click
Services. In the list of services,
right-click Microsoft Dynamics CRM
Asynchronous Processing Service, and
then click Restart.
Verify that you can successfully connect to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM
Web site. To do this, you must use a
URL that begins with https. For
example, in Internet Explorer the URL
will appear similar to the following
address:
https://ServerName/OrganizationName/loader.aspx
If the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web site is not configured to require
SSL connections, verify that you can
successfully connect to the site by
using an http connection, for example,
http://ServerName/OrganizationName/loader.aspx.
