How to Specify the Reporting Server for VMM
Applies To: Virtual Machine Manager 2008, Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2, Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 SP1
Use the following procedure to enable reporting in Virtual Machine Manager after you deploy System Center Operations Manager 2007 SP1 or System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2, set up your reporting server, and import the System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 Management Pack and the System Center Virtualization Reports 2008 R2 Management Pack. Until you perform this procedure, Reporting view does not display in the VMM Administrator Console.
To view and open reports in Reporting view, you also must be added to the Report Operators role in Operations Manager. For an end-to-end procedure for setting up reporting, see Setting Up Reporting in VMM.

In Administration view, in the navigation pane, click System Center, and then, in the results pane, click Operations Manager Reporting URL.
