I have been trying to configure SQL Server 2005 Report Services. Every time I create the ReportServer database, the systems asks me if I want to "update" the database. It allows me no other option. When I click "apply", I get the message that the database version does not match my installation version. Does anybody have any insight into what happening with the configuration? What's more, do you have a solution?

Can anyone help?
I have installed reporting services for 64 bit SQL and I am having a problem configuring it correctly so that I can access the reports manager on http://localhost/reports.
I have studied various SQL server 2005 bibles and looked at information on the microsoft support site but nothing seems to be helping me.
I get the impression that it could be a problem with the IIS server.
Can anyone give me a complete run down on how to set up and configure the reporting services so that it will actually work. Every step of the way please.
Thanks

Hi,
I have two webservers and another server where the database resides.. and in my webservers i have reporting serverices set up.. in my Report server configuration manager for Webserver 1, in the database setup tab i am specifying the remote the database server which i want to connect and i am providing the correct username and passwords to connect to the remote databse and when i specify the remote database username and password i can see all the databases listed in that server. So in server name i have specified the name of the sql server.. and in the Database name i have specified ReportServer and given credentails type as sql server credentials and given the correct username and password..
But when i give apply i am getting an warning or error saying that The database version (c.0.8.54) does not match the Report service installation. This version cannot be upgraded. You must use a different database.
and in internet explorer if i give http:\localhost
eports I get an error saying
The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'C.0.8.54'. The expected version is 'C.0.8.40'. To continue update the version of the report server database and verify access rights.
any help will be appreciated.

When i open the Reporting Services Configuration Manager on our newly installed SQL 2005 box i get a red X on "Web Service Identity".
The window in question states that "The Web Service runs under the ASP .NET Machine account under IIS 5 or ..." with what looks to be a text entry box that is grayed out with the label "ASP .NET Service Account. The text entry box that is grayed out is blank.
When the Apply button is pressed a Task Status box opens at the bottom that states "There was an error setting the identity for the web service. The previously set identity will still be used."
When the option for "Tell me more about the problem and how to resolve it." is pressed i get a dialog box that has two lines of text reading:
"ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.WMIProviderException: An unknown error has occured in the WMI provider. Error Code 80070005"
"at Report ServicesConfigUI.RSReportSErverAdmin.SetWebServiceIdentity(StringapplicationPool)"
Our report server is non-functional at the moment, and we really need it to work ASAP. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
*edit*
when i try to open http://localhost/reports i get the message that "The report server is not responding. Verify that the report server is running and can be accessed from this computer.
Hello Experts,
I have this problem when i go to http://<servername>/reprots
"The attempt to connect to the report server failed.Check your connection information and that the report server is a compatible "
I dont have any problem viewing the deployed reports from the site, http://<servername>/reportserver. only issue is in viewing report manager.
i have searched the forums and did all the suggested changes required in the config file, by adding the full report url and removing the entries in the virtualdirectory tag. still it didnt help....
would be great if someone suggests.

hello experts
I was always told that the only dumb question is the one not asked, so here goes
I am trying to start reporting services, but it does not even show up on the configuration panel in the start menu
During the installation of SQL 2005 Express, one warning I recieved is that Internet Information Services
(ISS) is not installed or disabled. Upon checking the control panel, I did not find it. Googling it brought me
back to MicroSoft, where I can download it (for a nominal fee) Is this what I am going to need to do or am I
missing something here?
thanks
When we assign security in SRS, in the user name field we have to type the domainusername manually. We cannot see the drop down of all the users in Active directory. Is it possible to configure SRS to get the names from Active directory. If we add any new users to our AD, it automatically refreshes at certain set intervals.
I am talking to a similar function in Sharepoint.
I browsed through a bit on this and think it is not possible. But I want to make sure that I am on the right path.
Can you please correct me if my understanding is right?
I appreciate your help and thank you for your time,
I have searched the web and have not had any luck on finding the issue to my problem. I'm sure it's probably simple, so here it goes.
When receiving the following error "The permissions granted to user '' are insufficient for performing this operation"
Now, I would like to add to the error message shown above an extra line below it on the web page to reflect something like "Please contact XXX @ XXX if you feel that you need to have your login issue resolved" ...or something meaningful in addition to the default error messages.
I am not getting this error normally, as I have made a typo when login in on purpose! I am just trying to find a way to add more detail to the current error message or change the message to what I want it to say. This would go for any error message received by an end user received through SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.
Do I have to create some sort of filter to read the message coming back from within SOAP? Are these messages stored in ReportingServices database or htm file?
Thanks!

I am using SSRS 2008 R2. On my SSRS machine. I went and created the SQL Alias (both for 32 bit and the other one).
Then I ran the SSRS configuration wizard and tried to configure the SSRS service to create a report server database by using a SQL Alias.
It connects to the DB fine but at the last step it gives an error saying no such host. How to configure SSRS Service when they used an alias for the sql server?

I am trying to automate the setup of SQL server 2014 Standard edition with SSRS. To avoid SSRS being setup using the default port 80 for the webservice and report manager url's, I've chosen to install SQL server with the setting RSINSTALLMODE="FilesOnlyMode" and then use powershell to do the final setup steps.To setup the ReportServer database, I use the "GenerateDatabaseCreationScript" method available in the "MSReportServer_ Configuration Setting" class.
This succeeds without problems however when I use my browser to connect to the web service or report manager url's, I get a "rsInvalid Report Server Database" and a "rsReportServerDatabaseUnavailable " error, respectively.Running the stored procedure named GetDbVersion in the ReportServer database returns "C.0.9.45". If I delete the ReportServer database and then recreate it database manually with the Report Services Configuration manager, the same stored procedure returns "162".
So it seems to me there's a problem with the GenerateDatabaseCreationScript but I can't find any information on this. How can I automate the setup of SSRS and ensure it does not use port 80? There are many manual solutions involving multi-step GUI solutions but the key for me is to automate this with powershell which doesn't appear to be possible.
Hello, I have a question regarding installing SQL Express with Advanced Services from the command prompt. I am executing a .cmd file which has the following syntax:
start /wait setup.exe /qb INSTANCENAME=Tim ADDLOCAL=SQL_Engine,Connectivity,RS_Server,RS_Web_Interface SAPWD=1StrongPassword_2 SECURITYMODE=SQL DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0
Yet, after the installation when I run the Reporting Services configuration tool, none of the settings for Reporting Services are set. I would like to be able to install Reporting Services from the command prompt and have it use the default settings for creating a default website just like you can through the User Interface using the Setup.exe but cannot seem to figure out what I am missing in my .cmd file?
I would appreciate any help anyone can provide.

I am trying to follow the instructions on:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb677365.aspx
they contain many "if"s and links to other sites and I got totally confused and stuck.
The idea is - I need to have one machine with SQL for reporting services and SharePoint databases and the reporting services and the other machine for a complete SharePoint installation (the main server of the farm)
Now I have done the following:
two servers (lets call them SQL and MOSS)
The domain contains the following users:
sqlservices: for running all the SQL services and reporting services
moss: for administering MOSS databases
moss-services: for running all the MOSS services
Machine SQL - installed Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP1, joined to the domain as SQL
The following is done from a local Administrator account:
IIS 6 with ASP.NET installed
SQL Server 2005 with SP2, Reporting services installed but not configured
all the services are running as domainsqlservices
.NET 3.0 installed
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918642 fix installed
done WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727aspnet_regiis €“i
MOSS as Web Front installed, not configured
Machine MOSS - installed Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP1, joined to the domain as MOSS
The following is done from a local Administrator account:
IIS 6 with ASP.NET installed
.NET 3.0 installed
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918642 fix installed
done WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727aspnet_regiis €“i
Computers->My computer->DCOM Config->IIS WAMREG admin Service->PropertiesSecurity->Customize->Edit, added domainmoss-services and domainMOSS users with rights Local launch, Local activate
MOSS Complete installed, configured for: New server farm
Database server: SQL
Username: domainMOSS
Port: Default
Auth: NTLM
SharePointRS.msi installed to enable RS in SharePoint Admin page
Then temporarily gave to the user domainMOSS sysadmin rights in the SQL server on the SQL machine to avoid errors with creating databases while configuring SharePoint from the Admin Portal.
From the Admin Portal configured
Office SharePoint Server Search with domainmoss-services account
Shared Services Administration €“ New SSP created with 2 separate web apps for SSP and MySites, both app pools run as domainmoss-services and SSP itself runs as domainmoss-services
Windows SharePoint Services Search configured, Service Account - domainmoss-services, Content Access Account - domainmoss-services
Everything went OK.
Now came back to the machine SQL:
run Reporting Services Configuration and:
Report Server Virtual Directory €“ created new, called it ReportServer. When hit Apply, the applicatin suddenly quit, but I checked €“ the Virtual Directory was registered on the IIS and working.
Checked if Windows service identity is domainsqlservices, OK.
Web service identity: Application Pool: New
Name: ReportServer
Windows Account: domainsqlservices
Apply, everything went fine.
Database setup: choose server SQL, Connect
Database name: New name: ReportServer,
checked Create the report server database in SharePoint Integrated Mode
OK
Credeantials Type - Service credentials (I guess it means previously set domainsqlservices will be used)
Apply,OK, everything went fine.
Launch SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard, Connect to an existing farm, Database server: SQL, Retrieve datbase names: selected SharePoint_Config, Username: domainMOSS, Next, everything fine here.
Now as far as I understand I need to give reporting services an access to SharePoint databases? Went to the machine MOSS, launched SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration:
Application Management-> Reporting Services-> Manage integration settings, URL: http://SQL/reportserver, Windows Authentification, OK
then back, Grant database access-> Server Name: SQL, OK, now it is asking for credentials. And now the problem: no matter what I enter (domainsqlservices, domainMOSS) I get a message: €žA connection to the computer cannot be established€?. Why, why, why?
I can ping the server, SharePoint services are running fine and they are using the SQL server on the SQL machine and there are no errors in the event viewer (they should be if there were any problems to connect the SQL databases).
If I enter wrong credentials, I receive "Unable to log on with the given username and password.", so I guess there IS a connection to the computer (or how else could SharePoint determne that login is wrong?).
Also, if I open http://SQL/reportserver, I get €žThe report server has encountered a configuration error€? and the log in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.2Reporting ServicesLogFiles says €žSharePoint content service is null. Report Server may not have joined the SharePoint farm, or Report Server service account may not have been granted access to farm.€? I guess it is OK while I have not granted access to the SharePoint databases?
Please, show me, what did I do so wrong that €žA connection to the computer cannot be established€?? How can I grant the access and finalize configuring Reporting Services?
Thanks.
Hi My project is in .NET 2003 i.e. framework 1.1 and database in SQLServer 2000. But the reports have been developed using SQLServer 2005 Reporting Services.

I am learning dotnet thru Microsoft Official Curriculum and I got stuck up at one point. That is I couldn't configure the required databases according to the sql server I have installed and configured. I created a doctors database and while configuring using the below code I couldn't know what is 'ASPNET' in "SELECT @s = @@servername + 'ASPNET'"
Also what is 'webuser'
---Configure Doctors
USE doctors
GO
DECLARE @s varchar(50)
SELECT @s = @@servername + 'ASPNET'
EXECUTE sp_grantlogin @s
EXECUTE sp_grantdbaccess @s, 'webuser'
GO
GRANT EXECUTE ON [getUniqueCities] TO webuser
GRANT EXECUTE ON [getDrSpecialty] TO webuser
GRANT SELECT ON [specialties] TO webuser
GRANT SELECT ON [doctors] TO webuser

Hello,
I have specified a default database in my web.config like this:
<dataConfiguration defaultDatabase="scsLocal"/>
<connectionStrings> <add name="scsLocal" connectionString="server=DRLSWARTEBRV;database=SCS;uid=******;password=******;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
Now I would like to configure a SQLDataSource control to use this default database, yet it prompts me for a connectionstring. I know I can program it in the code behind file (if I ommit connection string, it will use the default), but then I can make no use of the wizard for configuring the SQLDataSource which would safe me a lot of coding.
Is there a way to configure the SQLDataSource to use the default database that is specified in the web.config?
Thanks!

Hello everyone, I have created my web application in VS 2005 using asp.net 2.0 and the built in sql .mdf database creater that comes with visual studio. After I developed my website, I then wanted to move it to one of our servers on the network, which I did without a problem. The website works fine but here is my challange. I need users to be able to connect to the database via login script and the script inserts computer data into the database. So I figured I need to attach the Database to SQL Server 2005. When I try to do this it gives me this database is in use. So I stop the website in IIS, and it allows me to add the database into the SQL Server. Once I do this, and start the website again, the website no longer works and I get a bunch of database errors, that do not get fixed untill I re-copy the website to the server.
Is there a way to just connect to a .mdf file on the network that is not attached to a sql server, through a connection string in a login script? Maybe there is something else I need to do to the database before copying to the server? Or should I re-programm the website with a newly created database in SQL Server, and use that as the datasource?
I didn't know exactly which forum to post this in, so if I need to post it into another one, please let me know. Also, I have absolutely no SQL or DB experience. I am learning as I go.
The Situation:
I created a virtual network for my company which included MS CRM, which uses SQL Server 2005. Everything was working fine until today. My company asked me to make a change to the domain name, as we are changing company names. I followed the processes through microsoft's documentation that I found online. The rename went fine. Since then, we can no longer access CRM. When I run the environment checks, it gets hung up on the SQL Server components. It says that it can't confirm the MSSQLSERVER service is running (it is) and it can't connect to the database. As best as I can tell, the database is looking for the old domain name, which doesn't exist. How do I edit or configure the existing database to reflect the new domain name. It's important to do this as we have data in that database that we need to access. Any help in this matter is very much appreciated!!!

Hi all,
I am struggling with configuring SSB network routes to a mirror database. What I want to accomplish is to configure a SSB application to work in a database mirroring setup but I am not looking for a load balancing solution.
According to SQL Server 2005 Books Online (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms166090.aspx) the typical routing configuration for a service hosted by a mirrored database is set by specifying the 'mirror_address' field but leaving the 'broker_instance' field empty (i.e. NULL) in the sys.routes table (see Example 3 in link above). I haven't seen how this is possible because if you specify the MIRROR_ADDRESS parameter in the CREATE/ALTER ROUTE command then you must also specify the BROKER_INSTANCE parameter.
I haven't found a way to set the mirror_address field to a valid value and the broker_instance field as NULL, is this possible? If not I must set the broker_instance as the guid of my broker instance but my understanding is that it should primarily be used for load balancing configuration. My preference would be to not set the BROKER_INSTANCE parameter, is this possible?
Best regards,
Oli
We migrated ssrs from 2008 to ssrs 2014.after that we need to move only subscriptions to  New 2014 report server DB.
How to proceed that.
I am trying to insert record in DB. But subscription ID is not identity column. How to do this.
Can I place old Subscription IDS in New 2014 reporting DB?
We are using Crystal Report Services XI to generate reports from SQL Server 2000 database running on server within the same domain (LAN).

This will return all the tables from the Access database.
I can also make a view pointing to MyDB...MyTable.
