Hey guys, love the site! You guys have unknowingly helped me more times than I can count. Today, I've finally decided to jump in and ask a question of my own.
At my previous company we used SCCM 2007. My new company has implemented SCCM 2012. We've got everything up and working (thank you!), but now I'm starting to have some concerns about the differences between the two.
I heavily utilized reporting in 2007 and believe that it was a truly fantastic, simple, versitile, and dynamic tool. So I was eager to see the improvements made in 2012, however, things haven't been going well.
1 - I am no longer able to copy/paste urls of reports that already have parameters configured. Is anyone aware of an easy way to be able to copy/paste a report url with parameters? My bosses aren't going to want to fill in the parameters each time they click on a link. They want a direct link to the information they've requested and I can't find anyway to give it to them short of having to manually enter the data into the URL, which is NOT easy.
2 - It looks like I now have to use Report Builder 2.0 to edit reports? Is there no longer a built-in method?
3 - Can you still link reports to each other in 2012, or does that need to be done within the Report Builder?
4 - The new interface looks remarkably like our standard SQL Server Reporting Services reporting page (I'm assuming this is probably what Microsoft wanted), but my bosses always liked the SCCM 2007 reporting page because it was plain, simple, and to the point. Is there some way to return to the simplicity of the 2007 reporting page?
Of course, maybe I'm doing something all wrong. Thank you all for your input.
