+
+SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services comes with some great samples that will help get you started. Unfortunately, they aren't installed by default.
+
+These samples include:
+
+1. Report Project based on the Adventure Works 2008 R2 database
+2. Report Builder Model based on the Adventure Works 2008 R2 database
+
+Upon installing the samples successfully, you should see 3 folders (shown below) in your Report Manager.
