·         Rendering formats are available for HTML, Acrobat, and Excel.

·         Report data sources must be SQL Server relational databases that run locally in SQL Server Express.

·         Report server management and report viewing are supported through Report Manager.

·         Configuration is supported through the Reporting Services Configuration tool.
