Reports in Configuration Manager 2007 are opened in Report Viewer, which can be opened from the Configuration Manager console or by using a Web browser. Reports can be opened from any computer that has access to a reporting point for the site and for users that have sufficient rights to view the reports. For more information about the security rights needed to view reports, see Reporting Security Best Practices.

Use the following procedures to open a report from the Configuration Manager console and from a Web browser.
