I recently upgraded from SSRS Report Server 2008 to Power BI Report Server 2017. I have set up an alias URL link to get to the server as well.
When sending a report from the new server via an email Subscription, there is an option to send a link to the reportserver along with it. When using the new reportserver, the link does not use the reportserver alias to link to the server. It instead uses the machine name of the SSRS server itself.
Example: http://machinename/reports/reportname Instead of: http://reportserveralias.example.com/reports/reportname
I did find microsft's link that describes a URLRoot properly in the rsreportserver.config file. Here is a link to Microsoft's website that describes the file's capabilities.
I tried editing it, but to no avail. I also tried restarting the reporting service afterward and that did not work. May anyone please help me with this?
Thanks!
