Power BI Report Server Power BI On Premises Hosting

Power BI is not only a cloud-based reporting technology. Due to the demand for some businesses to have their data and reporting solutions on-premises, Power BI also has the option to be deployed fully on-premises. Power BI on-premises hosting is called Power BI Report Server. This post concerns using Power BI in a fully on-premises solution with Power BI Report Server.
This video will teach you everything you need about the on-premises world of Power BI. You will learn how to install Power BI Report Server, learn all requirements and configurations for the Power BI Report Server to work correctly, and see all the pros and cons of this solution. At the end of this post, you will be able to decide if Power BI on-premises is the right choice for you, and if it is, then you will be able to set a Power BI on-premises solution up and running easily.

Reza was very generous when he said Power BI for Report Server (PBIRS) is a limited version of Power BI in the cloud. It is an EXTREMELY limited version. Think 'red headed step child'. Microsoft does as little as possible to support this version - they want you to move to the cloud and won't spend resources on on-premise versions. In addition to the things Reza mentioned, like PBIRS does not support dashboards (that is, in PBIRS you cannot pin pages of disparate reports to a single dashboard like you can do in the cloud version). There are many things missing and some of them major like you cannot set up email distribution of Power BI reports (although you CAN email out SSRS reports from your PBIRS server). Many of the newer Power BI features are "premium only" and will never be in PBIRS or it takes 6 months or longer for a scaled down version of the feature to eventually make it into a PBIRS release. We still find PBIRS to be useful but not nearly as good as Reza makes it seem.

Does anyone know if SQL Server 2014 doesn't support Power BI Report Server? In one server I have SQL Server 2022 and I did the installation properly and everything runs well, but in another server I have SQL Server 2014, there when I follow the same steps, I get to the Home page of SQL Server Reporting Services. I have not found any resource as to why this might be happening. Please help

Thank you for providing such useful information. I have a question if you prepared a report and attempted to upload it to the Power Bi service and get the following error: "We are unable to upload this report." This report was prepared with a recent version of Power Bi Desktop that is not yet supported by the server." What do you do? I need some advice on this.

Hello, is it true that python scripts are not supported in PBI RS? I created in PBI desktop for PBI-RS a report that retrieves data from an API consumed using python scripts, I published to a Report Server, and tried to open the report, it worked well and the visuals are loaded as normal, so what should be not supported about python scripts?

[geeta]

سلام آقای راد . بخش مربوط به ایجاد مپ درایو (زمان 10:10 این ویدئو منطورم) همان شیر کردن فایل است و مپ درایو ؟ چون با همین روش انجام دادم ولی کماکان در تب دیتا سورس خطا دارم . ممکنه راهنمایی بفرمایی

[tanababa]

Thank you Reza for the clarity of the topic.
Is it possible for the developer of the report to be in a different AD group than "Administrators"? Say "PBI Dev".
