Set up File Share or Email for Scheduled Reports

Set up necessary sharing permissions in order to use a file share. To send scheduled reports by email, set up the SMTP server. The SMTP server may have been set up during installation. The Requirements Checker will warn you if you have not set up the SMTP server email.

Set up a File Share

1. On the Report Manager server, navigate to the shared folder to which you would like to deliver the reports.
2. Right-click Share. If the folder is already shared, click Change sharing permissions before proceeding.
3. Type NETWORK SERVICE in the field at the top of the dialog box.
4. Click Add.
5. Click the Permission Level for the NETWORK SERVICE user and select Contributor.
6. Click Share.

   If you receive a User Access Control prompt, click Continue.

7. Click Done.

Set up SMTP Server Email

Using Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Configuration, configure the email settings to specify the Sender Address and the SMTP Server.

See the Microsoft instructions for configuring email settings for SQL Server 2012, 2014, and 2016.
