IntroductionUse the information in this white paper to configure a PowerPivot server on a Microsoft
SharePoint farm if either of the following is true:
You already have a SharePoint 2010 farm installed and configured and you have
identified the servers that you want to install PowerPivot on. Go directly to step 9 if this
is the case.
You want to set up a multi-server SharePoint 2010 farm and then install PowerPivot on the
servers of your choice. You will be guided through the steps to create a farm that looks like the
following. It should be relatively straightforward to adapt these instructions if your farm is
slightly different.
Terminology:
DB Server: The server that will host a Microsoft SQL Server relational engine instance for the SharePoint
databases (such as Configuration and Content.).
WFE (Web Front End): The server that will host the SharePoint Web Application Service.
PowerPivotServers1, 2, and 3: Servers on which PowerPivot for SharePoint will be installed.
Prerequisites:

c. Create a new application pool, and then select a security account for the application pool.
While you can use an existing application pool such as Web Services Default, consider
creating a new application pool; in a new application pool, PowerPivot is separated from
other web services like Excel Services and Secure Store Service, enabling different service
accounts for each service, because the service accounts function at the application pool
level.

17. Configure the PowerPivot unattended account (optional)If you plan to allow users to use the PowerPivot Service account to schedule a data refresh,
you will need to configure an unattended account. Note that for data refresh to work, you
must ensure that the credential owner is the same for the SharePoint Farm account and the
PowerPivot System Service account. Due to a known bug, if you select a different account,
you receive an error when the data refresh attempts to access the stored credentials. To
work around this bug, follow these steps:
a. Click Central Administration, Application Management, and Manage Service Applications.
Select Secure Store Service,and then click Manage at the top of the page.
b. On the ribbon at the top of the page, click New.

Refresh message. By default, Excel Services provides a warning message every time you
perform a server action (for example, clicking on a slicer) for a PowerPivot workbook that is
rendered by Excel Services. Within a PowerPivot for SharePoint New Server installation, thiswarning message is disabled, but within an existing farm installation, you must disable it
manually by clearing the Refresh warning enabled check box.

22. Configure Reporting Services on your farm (optional)Configuring Reporting Services in SharePoint integrated mode on your farm enables you to use
Report Builder to create reports using PowerPivot workbooks that you have been published to a
PowerPivot Gallery as data sources. After installation, you can design reports by entering theURL of the PowerPivot workbook as the server in your Report Builder or Report Designer data
source. The underlying PowerPivot infrastructure makes the appropriate connection to the
embedded PowerPivot database residing within the workbook. Follow these steps to install and
configure a default instance of Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER) on the WFE.

III Integrate Reporting Services with SharePoint
a. Open the SharePoint Central Administration Web site, click General Application Settings,
and then click Reporting Services Integration. If this option is not available, open a
command prompt window as administrator, navigate to the location you where you copiedthe SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint, and then run
rsSharePoint.msi.
b. Next to Report Server Web Service URL, enter the Web service URL from the previous
section.
c. Next to Authentication Mode, ensure that Windows Authentication is selected, specify the
account you want to use, and then click OK.
Additional thoughtsIf you decide that you want to install multiple WFEs for your PowerPivot for SharePoint environment, we
strongly recommend that you use a Network Load Balancer in front of the WFEs to ensure that webrequests are load balanced. It is not necessary to install a NLB for Excel Services or PowerPivot, because
both utilize load balancing algorithms within the context of the SharePoint application proxies.
