Cause

The problem is related to a bad data source for the report file within SSRS. If the Microsoft Dynamics CRM organization database is not structured such as ORG_MSCRM, then when creating the report in CRM, it will keep the Data Source within the RDL file instead of using the Data Source Types associated with the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Reporting Extensions/Data Connector. The problem is that the Initial Catalog within the RDL file must contain _MSCRM.

Initial Catalog does not end with _MSCRM

Notice: initial catalog does not end with _MSCRM

Resolution

Before uploading the SQL based report in Microsoft Dynamics CRM, append _MSCRM to the Initial Catalog.
Fixed report with _MSCRM at the end of Initial Catalog

IMPORTANT: The initial catalog MUST end with _MSCRM for this to work properly.
