Reports vs ReportServer in SQL Reporting Server

Hi rp,

http://localhost/Reports is actually used to view the entire GUI for the report server. You can view all the folders, navigate inside each folders to see the reports, set datasource, set user rights for the reports etc.

http://localhost/ReportServer is used when you want target a single report on your web page. The reason being you will see only the required parts while using this like export feature dropdown if you like to export the report in some other format. Unlike the http://localhost/reports where the user will be able to navigate to other reports also.

Conclusion
To actually manage the reports server like uploading the reports, setting datasource and user permission use http://localhost/Reports
To use the deployed report onto a web page like asp.net use http://localhost/ReportServer url

Hope this helps

Thanks
Daniel
