One of the cool new features of Lync 2013 is the ability to use VDI. As ever there is an article on Dr Rez.

For System Center Configuration Manager 2012 with SQL Server 2008 R2, you will receive this error while create/edit report from Console.
Error: Report Builder not available
Report Builder 2.0 is not installed as a click-once application on report server
To fix this, please change registry value to :
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\ConfigMgr10\AdminUI\Reporting]
"ReportBuilderApplicationManifestName"="ReportBuilder_3_0_0_0.application"
Download : ReportBuilder3.reg
P/S: after fix the registry still not work, please run Console as Administrator
If you need standalone Report Builder 3.0, download here.
