DPM 2016 - Reporting Services Server cannot connect to DPM Database

1 Reply

After installing System Center Data Protection Manager from scratch or after performing an upgrade from DPM 2012 R2, when you attempt to schedule a report to be mailed, you receive the following popup error or notice that when you generate a report you just receive a white page in your browser that continues to load indefinitely:


Reporting Services Server cannot connect to the DPM database.
To repair the configuration, follow steps for repairing DPM from DPM Setup Help.
ID: 3001
More Information
Just an endless loading page presented in your browser.

Unfortunately, following the repair steps suggested in the More Information link does not resolve the problem.

Resolution for SQL Server 2016 and later

  1. On the DPM server, open Computer Management, expand Local Users and Groups, click Groups, and create a new local group with the following information (replace items in red with the actual server name/hostname of your machine):
    1. Group name: DPMDBReaders$DPMSERVERNAME
    2. Description: This group is internally used by Microsoft System Center 2016 Data Protection Manager.
  2. On the DPM server, open Computer Management, expand Local Users and Groups, click Users, and create a new local user with the following information (replace items in red with the actual server name/hostname of your machine):
    1. User name: DPMR$DPMSERVERNAME
    2. Full name: DPMR$DPMSERVERNAME
    3. Description: This account is used for SQL reporting to generate reports for DPM 2016.
    4. Enter a strong password
    5. Check Password never expires
  3. Select your recently created DPMR$DPMSERVERNAME account and click on the Membership of tab
    1. Add the DPMDBReaders$DPMSERVERNAME group we created in step 1
    2. Click OK
  4. Start Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and connect to the SQL instance used by DPM.
    1. Expand Security, right-click on the Logins, select New login
      1. Click on the Search... button and add the local group DPMDBReaders$DPMSERVERNAME
      2. Set the Default database to YourDPMDatabase

      3. Click on the User Mapping section, check the checkbox for YourDPMDatabase, and check the checkbox for the db_datareader role.
      4. Click OK
  5. In Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, expand Databases, expand YourDPMDatabase, expand Security, expand Users, and right click Properties on the DPMDBReaders$DPMSERVERNAME group you granted access to in step 4.
    1. Click on Securables
    2. Click the Search... button
    3. Select Specific objects... and click OK
    4. Click the Object Types... button
    5. Check Stored precedures and click OK
    6. Click the Browse... button
    7. Check [dbo].[prc_MOM_Heartbeat_Get] and [dbo].[prc_MOM_ProductionServerGet] and click OK
    8. Click OK on the Select objects dialog box
    9. Place a checkbox in the Grant column for the Execute row.
      1. Make sure you do this step for both [dbo].[prc_MOM_Heartbeat_Get] and [dbo].[prc_MOM_ProductionServerGet], checking the box once will only update one of the storage procedures.
    10. Click OK
  6. Exit Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
  7. Open Reporting Services Configuration Manager and connect to the SqlServer and Instance hosting the DPM reports (as you go through this, replace the items in Red with your applicable values).
    1. Click on the Web Portal URL menu item and click on the listed URL for DPM.
    2. Click on the DPMReports_GUID folder to open the DPM reports page.
    3. Click on the DPMReporterDataSource Data Source to open its properties.
    4. Under Credentials, use the following configuration:
      1. Select the Using the following credentials radio button
      2. Type of credentials: Windows user name and password
      3. User name: DPMR$DPMSERVERNAME
      4. Password: EnterYourPasswordToTheAccount
      5. Ensure Log in using these credentials, but then try to impersonate the user viewing the report is unchecked
      6. Click the Test connection button
        1. Ensure it says Connected successfully

      7. Click Apply
    5. Close out of your web browser
  8. Back in the Reporting Services Configuration Manager window, complete the following steps
    1. Select the Service Account menu item
    2. Ensure Use built-in account is set to Network Service
      1. Check the Use built-in account radio button
      2. Set the account to Network Service
      3. Click Apply
      4. You will be prompted to save an encryption key. Save the key to location of your choosing, and type a password to be used to encrypt the file. Click OK
      5. You will then be prompted to specify an account with administrator privileges. Click OK to use your current account.
  9. Reboot the DPM Server

At this point, you should now be able to schedule e-mail reports without experiencing the original error and your reports should load properly!

DPM 2016 - Anonymous / Open Relay for SMTP Notifications

6 Replies

DPM 2016 is primarily geared towards using mail servers that require authentication (rightfully so, that's a best security practice). However, many IT organizations have local mail relay servers with anonymous authentication that are used for several IT services in the organization. Unfortunately, DPM 2016 gets a bit wonky using unauthenticated mail servers and will likely give you a generic error that says:

Error ID: 2013
Details: The user name or password is incorrect

And if you ignore the error and head over to the notifications tab to configure a notification, you will be presented with another generic error:

An authentication error occured when trying to connect to the SMTP serve. (ID: 518)

You typed an incorrect user name, password, or SMTP server name. Type the correct user name or password to enable e-mail delivery of reports and alert notifications.

And if you are trying to configure scheduled emails you may receive an error about reporting services:

DPM Setup is unable to update the report server configuration to configure e-mail settings. (ID: 3040).

One thing I may do before getting too far ahead though is validate you can send an email from the DPM server. This can easily be done via PowerShell by executing the following command:

Send-MailMessage -SMTPServer localhost -To [email protected] -From [email protected] -Subject "Test Email from DPM Server" -Body "Howdy!  This is a test from the DPM Sever.  If you see this, mail relay is working!"

When executing the PowerShell command, it won't return anything, but you should hopefully see a message in your mailbox. If you do, you've at least ruled out network/mail issues.

Once you've ruled out connectivity/the mail server, we will complete the following steps below to configure DPM.

  1. Configure E-mail for SQL Server Reporting Services
  2. Create a Local User Account
  3. Remove any artifacts left in the registry
  4. Update the SMTP settings in DPM.

Configuration

  1. Configure SQL Server Reporting Services
    1. Open Reporting Services Configuration Manager
    2. Sign into your DPM instance
    3. Select E-mail Settings and leverage the following configuration
      1. Sender Address: [email protected]
      2. SMTP Server: emailserver.yourdomain.com
      3. Authentication: No authentication

    4. Click Apply
  2. Create a local user account
    1. Open Computer Management, expand Local Users and Groups, select Users, and Create a new local user on the machine
      1. Create the user (I used anonemail as the account name, but anything can be specified)
      2. Remove all group membership
        1. This account doesn't need to be a part of any group, including the Users group
        2. This account should not be a part of administrators (I've seen other blog posts mention you must use administrator, that is 100% not necessary and can be considered a security risk)
      3. Ensure the account is enabled
        1. A disabled account will not work
  3. Cleanup the registry
    1. Open registry editor (regedit.msc)
    2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\Notification
    3. Delete the following keys (if they exist):
      1. SmtpUserName
      2. SmtpPassword
  4. Reboot the DPM Server
    1. Technically, you could restart two services:
      SQL Server Reporting Services instance for DPM and the DPM service, but a reboot never hurts 😉
  5. Configure DPM to use SMTP relay
    1. Close out of the DPM and reopen
    2. Select Reporting, waiting for the screen to finish loading, and then select Action, Options
    3. Select the SMTP Server tab and enter
      1. SMTP sever name: relayserver.mydomain.com
      2. SMTP server port: 25
      3. "From" Address: [email protected]
      4. Username: .\localuserwecreatedearlier
        1. Ensure you have .\ to designate the user is local
      5. Password: LocalUserAccountPassword

    4. Click the Send Test E-Mail button and specify an email address to send a test email to validate all is well
    5. Success!
    6. Click OK on the Options window to save your settings

At this point, you should be able to relay emails through your open relay as well as schedule emails for reports without error.

DPM 2016 Installation - Error ID: 4387

2 Replies

When installing DPM 2016, you may get a really generic error during the "Prerequisites check" during installation. Looking online, there's a ton of individuals that have this issue, but no one correlates the log files to specifically what is needed to solve each problem (yep, "each" problem, Error 4387 is a generic catch all for several issues during the prerequisits check).

Before I get into the article, the too long didn't read (TLDR) version is make sure you are using both SQL Server 2016 (no service pack) and SSMS 16.5 or earlier to successfully install DPM 2016.

To get a bit more technical and find out what's going on, open up the DPM Installation logs after you receive the error. The installation log files can be found by browsing to %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft System Center 2016\DPM\DPMLogs.  Documentation on where log files are stored by DPM can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/system-center/dpm/set-up-dpm-logging?view=sc-dpm-2016

Here's a copy of my DpmSetup.log file, in which when looking through it, there isn't a clear cut answer, just this generic line at the bottom ([3/1/2019 6:22:54 AM] *** Error : CurrentDomain_UnhandledException).

Digging some more, I found that DPM seems to also place logs within the %temp% folder. Within this folder, I found that a tmpXXX.xml file was being created each time I ran through the installer and triggered an error. Upon opening the file, I see the following:

Looking through the above stack trace, I see hints that this is to SQL Server and in this case I'm receiving a null value for what looks like a version. So after reading other posts online, everyone said to downgrade to SQL Server 2016 RTM.

SQL Server 2016 version numbers: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3177312/sql-server-2016-build-versions

After downgrading to SQL Server 2016 RTM, I noticed I still received Error ID: 4387. This time I don't see any files within the %temp% directory, but I did find in the DPMSetup.log file (within the DPMLogs directory) the following log:

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

Looking at the above log, the last line hints we are looking for SQL Server Tools (in this case, what looks like some crazy old hints to depencies on SQL Server 2012). Unfortunately, installation of SQL Server 2016 will provide you the recommendation to grab SQL Server Management Studio 17.X, however DPM 2016 will only install with SQL Server Management Studio 16.5.X. You will need to uninstall the 17.X version of SSMS and install the 16.5.X build from the link below:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/sql-server-management-studio-changelog-ssms?view=sql-server-2017#download-ssms-1653

Alas! Upon installation and run through the DPM installation, no more Error 4387! Once DPM is installed, you can safely upgrade your SQL Server instance to 2017 if needed.

Hope this helps someone else! DPM can be picky and unforgiving in nature, but if you abide by exactly what their documentation calls out to a T and not venture anything outside of those parameters, you should be golden 🙂
