Case Study: 1
Tailspin Toys
Background
Tailspin Toys is a multinational company that manufactures toys. Tailspin Toys has offices in
five regions worldwide. The company sells toys at various retail stores. The company also
sells toys directly to consumers through a web site.
The company has the following departments:
• Sales
• Distribution
• Manufacturing
Each department has an office in each region.
The fiscal calendar of Tailspin Toys runs from June to May.
The network contains a server farm that has Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 installed.
Existing Environment
Current Database Environment
Each department uses SharePoint team sites for internal collaboration.
All manufacturing information is stored in a relational database named Manufacturing. All
sales information is stored in a relational database named Sales.
Tailspin Toys deploys SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) and configures SSAS to use
tabular models. SSAS will be used for all sales reports.
Tailspin Toys deploys a SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) instance in SharePoint
mode.
Sales Database
A database named Sales contains two tables named FactSales and DimProduct. FactSales
contains the following columns:
• SalesID
• Total Due
• OrderDate
DimProduct contains the following columns:
• ProductID
• ProductName
• ProductCategory
• ProductSubcategory
The Sales database contains information about the products. Most of the products have a
category and a subcategory. Certain products only have a category.
A sample from DimProduct is shown in the following table.
Requirements
Security Requirements
Tailspin Toys identifies the following security requirement:
• Sales department users must be allowed to view the sales transactions from their
region only.
• Sales department users must be able to view the contents of the manufacturing
reports.
• Manufacturing department users must be able to create new manufacturing reports.
• Third-party and custom solutions must NOT be deployed to the reporting server.
• Sales department users must NOT be able to create new manufacturing reports.
Planned Reporting Implementation
The manufacturing department plans to use the SSRS instance for its reports. The
manufacturing department also plans to make its reports accessible from SharePoint. All
manufacturing reports will use an existing database named Manufacturing.
Reporting Requirements
Tailspin Toys identifies the following reporting requirements:
• All reports must contain the company logo and a header that contains the date and the
time that the report was executed.
• All reports must be created by using the SQL Server Data Tools.
Manufacturing report
You plan to create a report named Manufacturinglssues.rdl. The report has the following
requirements:
• Manufacturing department managers must be able to view product issues by product
type, manufacturing plant location, and error type.
• The manufacturing department managers must be able to change views by choosing
options from drop-down lists.
Sales reports
You plan to create a sales report named RegionalSales.rdl. The report has the following
requirements:
• Users must be able to view the report by using a web browser. By default,
subcategories and product details must be hidden when using the browser.
• Users must be able to subscribe to receive the report by email. The report must be sent
by email as a PDF attachment.
You plan to create a quarterly sales report named QuarterSales.rdl. The report must display
sales data by fiscal quarter.
Technical Requirements
Tailspin Toys identifies the following technical requirements:
• Products in the DimProduct table that do NOT have a subcategory must use the
category value as the subcategory value.
• SSRS must NOT connect to databases more frequently than once every 30 minutes.
• Sales department users must be able to use Microsoft Excel to browse tabular data.

After you deploy the RegionalSales report, you attempt to configure the subscriptions.
You discover that the subscription creation screen does not display the option to deliver the
report by email.
You need to ensure that subscriptions can be delivered by using email.
What should you do?
A.
Modify the Rsmgrpolicy.config file.
B.
From Central Administration, modify the SMTP settings of the SharePoint Server server
farm.
C.
Modify the Rssrvrpolicy.config file.
D.
From Central Administration, modify the properties of the Reporting Service Application.
Hello,
I think that the answer here is wrong and that the correct answer is
A.Modify the Rsmgrpolicy.config file.
Explanation :
rssrvpolicy.config :
The report server policy configuration file. These security policies primarily affect report expressions and custom assemblies once a report is deployed to a report server. This policy file also affects custom data, delivery, rendering and security extensions deployed to the report server.
rsmgrpolicy.config :
Report Manager policy configuration file. These security policies affect all assemblies that extend Report Manager; for example, subscription user interface extensions for custom delivery.

I think “subscription user interface extensions for custom delivery” is the key.
Feel free to comment if you think another way

For SSRS Native mode it’s correct.
However this seems to be “SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) instance in SharePoint
mode”, so I think it’s D
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-AU/library/hh231673.aspx
You right.
B is for administrator alerts and notifications:
“Specify the SMTP mail server to use for Microsoft SharePoint Foundation e-mail-based notifications for alerts, invitations, and administrator notifications. Personalize the From address and Reply-to address”.
D is correct answer.
E-Mail settings desc for SSRS App :
“Specify the SMTP mail server to use for Reporting Services.”

401203 545200Having been just searching at valuable weblog articles with regard towards the project research when My partner and i happened to stumble on yours. Thanks for this practical details! 121290
D is correct https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh231673.aspx – Configure E-mail for a Reporting Services Service Application
Rsmgrpolicy.config – configuration of report manager
Rssrvrpolicy.config – configuration of custom developed reports https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152828
B works for the entire sharepoint server what is not a case here
I think B is ok.
I found following note in the official lernbooks for 10778A (EXAM 70-466):
“To send subscriptions and data alerts by email, the report server must be configured with the address of an SMTP server. For report servers in native mode, you can configure this setting in Reporting Services Configuration Manager. When using SharePoint Integrated mode, you can configure email settings for the report server service application in SharePoint central Administration.”
But I found nothing about die config-files
