Reporting Services - “Your browser does not support scripts or has been configured not to allow scripts.”

When I run a report in the Report Manager using Internet Explorer (I had this issue on IE7) I got the following error:

Your browser does not support scripts or has been configured not to allow scripts./blockquote>

Should you get it as well follow the instruction below:

  • go to (from its menu) Tools/Internet Options
  • go to Security tab
  • select Trusted zone from the list of available zones
  • click Sites button
  • in new window provide the URL of the Reports Manager (e.g. http://MACHINE_NAME/*); if you are running Reports Manager not on the default port, provide the port number as well

That helped me.
Should you have any problems with it, let me know.

    Hi my friend, excuse me by tmy english. I did the process like you described before but doesn’t work. I have a Reporting Services Server 2005 and a Web Server to MS CRM 3.0. When the reports are called from MS CRM IFRame the message appears. If the reports are called from http:///reports they are showed fine.

    I hope U understad me, wait yours commentments. Thanks.

    From the top of my head there can be two isues:
    1. Problem with priviledges.
    2. Problem with the service your CRM is trying to access.

    Let me describe briefly both aforementioned…

    ——————-
    1. It can look as follows: you can preview reports from Report Manager (e.g. http://localhost/reports) using windows authentication (you provide the login and the password of the account you’re currently using).
    However, the CRM wants to access reports as Anonymous Guest Access (using IUSR_MACHINENAME account). Please test the configuration in IIS Manager / Reports Service Properties / Directory Security tab. On that tab click edit in ‘Anonymous access and authentication control’ section.

    ——————-

    2. Assure you want to use Report Manager (e.g. http://localhost/reports), not the Report Server (e.g. http://localhost/Reportserver/), which really serves the reports so you can view them (along with parameter passing) from other applications.

    I hope I gave you helpful hints!

    Cheers,
    Jarek
