Error when Reporting on Multiple Servers

Hello,

I am trying to setup Reporting on multiple servers, and I keep getting the following error message when trying to generate a report:

The metadata could not be determined because statement 'EXECUTE master..sqbdata 'SELECT id,backup_set_uuid,backup_start,backup_end,backup_type,dbname,[encr' invokes an extended stored procedure.

I have successfully created the reporting database, and successfully created and tested the linked servers on the sql server where the reporting database is on. I also made sure the user that is being authenticated has execute rights to the stored procedures in the master database.

I should note that the sql servers that I'm trying to run the report on are sql 2012 servers.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you,
Jon

    It looks like this is a known problem with SQL 2012:

    http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/ ... rows-error

    There's a few workarounds listed there - does anything there help?

    Wow. Issue since 2012. Msft says "not fixing". Any updates? This effectively makes the SQL BACKUP multi-server REPORTING useless for me.
