  1. Change the Business Connector Proxy account in
    Microsoft Dynamics AX by going to System Administration, click Setup, click System, and then click System service account.  Enter your new BC proxy account here.
  2. In Reporting Services Configuration Manager, change the Service account to the new BC proxy
    account. Follow the instructions in the wizard.
  3. In Reporting Services Configuration Manager, change the Execution account to the new BC proxy
    account. Follow the instructions in the wizard.
  4. On the server where Reporting Services is installed, give the BC proxy account Allow log on locally rights in Local Security Policy> Local Policies> User Rights Assignment.
  5. In SharePoint Central administration, configure this new BC account as a managed account. Configure if it does not already exist by going to Security, and then click Configure Managed account.
