We currently have SSRS URL something like http://oursqlbox1/CompanyReports. To make it easier for our users to remember where the reports are, we would like to implement a DNS alias likehttp://CompanyReports. We do this with other Web applcations on our network like SharePoint and Dell K1000.
But, DNS aliasing can only alias the server, but not server + virtual folder (as my system admin explained to me). So, even if we aliased oursqlbox1 to CompanyReports, the URL would still behttp://CompanyReports/CompanyReports<//a>, not real significant improvement.
Is there anyway to set up SSRS to be the default Web site on a server without a virtual folder/virtual directory so users can get to the reports with justhttp://oursqlbox1?
Alternately, does anyone know a way to get a simple URL like http://CompanyReports to be aliased/etc. to a Web site running in a virtual folder?
