I have the SCE installed on one server with the database & reporting services on a separate SQL server. I followed the documentation here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff603577 (How to Install System Center Essentials 2010 Reporting on a Remote Database Server)
When I run a hardware report or software report I received the below error. Other reports seem to work ok.
Date: 6/8/2012 4:08:55 PM
Application: System Center Essentials
Application Version: 7.0.2432.1
Severity: Error

Wanted to provide a bit more detail. It seems none of the reports in "Reporting" - "Essentials Reports" work, but other reports work like the Host Utilization report under Reporting - System Center Virtualization Reports 2008 R2.

Hello,
"Cannot initialize report" occurs may because your System Center “Run As” account does not have SQL select permission on the SUSDB database.
To fix this you can try to give this account the proper permission by following these steps:
- Logon to your SCE server or SQL server that hosts your “SCE” instance.\
- Open SQL Management studio>>>open the SCE instance>>>locate the SUSDB database.
- Right click on the SUSDB database and chose properties.
- Click on Permissions on the left hand side. You should see your “Run As” account listed here.
- Highlight the “Run As” account and scroll down in the Permissions for “DOMAIN\USER” until you see “Select”. Check the box under Grant and then click ok.
NOTE:Your “Run As” account should also have Grant permission for Connect as well. If this is not checked please check it.
Now go back to System Center Essentials and try to run any of the Essentials Reports to see if it works.
Thanks,
Yog Li
