Report server install error "The specified SQL Server instance is not valid."
After installing a new SCOM 2016 management group I was getting this error when trying to install the Reporting server component on a seperate server. The DW database was on a different server that was part of an Always On availability group. When I ran the install it would always bomb out with this error: The specified SQL Server instance is not valid. The possible causes of this problem include the following: * SSRS has not been configured correctly * Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is configured for the SQL Server Report Server. * A proxy server is configured for the SQL Server Report Server. After much digging around and trying all the usual crazy stuff (delete encryption keys, ResetSRS.exe etc) I found this error in the log that SCOM creates when adding/removing components. It's located in the user profile of whomever is running the install %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\SCOM\LOGS\OpsMgrSetupWizard.log.
