Vista + SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 Authentification Woes
Apr 22, 2007
Hey guys, I'm creating an ASP.Net 2.0 Web app with VB in the code behind files. I've created a few reports in Business Intelligence Dev Studio that I've deployed to a Windows 2003 Server that has SQL Server 2005 & Reporting Services 2005 on it. Last night I ran into a problem as I tested code on my laptop. And after about 3 hours I have come to the conclusion that it's the way Vista authenticates or its some kind of bug.
When I go to set the report parameters I get an error about invalid credentials and get a HTTP 401 unauthorized. I googled and searched on the forums, however it didn't make sense to me why it was working before now not working. No one was signed on AIM to test to see if it was a specific computer issue, so I decided to try and code a workaround.
I set ShowCredentialsPromt to True and I never got a prompt for credentials when the parameters were attempted to be set. I just got the error. I'm not on my laptop right now, but I will include the exact verbiage of the error message.
i have read lots of posts regarding this by my question is why does the same code not work on Vista than XP? Is that the deciding factor of my issue? I'll get some friends with Vista to test out the site and see if they get the error as well. Any insight?
I've tried to install all features in the SQL Server 2005 to run on Windows Vista. The Reporting Services failed to install. I think it is because of the IIS 7.0 that 's not recognised by SQL Server.
Is there anyone who have had the same problem and is there anyone who have a suggestion to solve this problem?
I have visual studio 2008 sql express, vista ultimate is on my computer however I have not installed sql express on my computer I wish to install sql standard 2005 sp1 I have read microsoft's article 934164 before installing sql standard I have a couple of questions installing sql server standard edition see sql-articles.com -installing sql 2005
sql instances screen- can I choose default installation? sql services screen do I need to choose domain name(I am a small business, I do not own a server, I wish to use a third party to use sql reporting services . I have not registered my domain name
Windows authentication- I wish to use mixed mode. I wish to configure user account later by stopping sql services and then installing sql sp2 (after windows authentication screen) described in microsoft article 934164 do I need to configure the server?(next screen after windows authentication) I want to avoid a system reboot...... Is there anyway that I can make sure all the parts are installed on sql server and sql sp2? Is it adviseable to configure my administrative account at the end of sql sp2? How do this work? I just want to be prepared...... Thank you
I have a couple of questions which is better for commercial development the standard edition sql or sql express edition? Does the express edition 2005 in visual studio professional come with advanced services or do you have install sp2? Has anyone installed sql 2005 reporting services on vista ultimate is there anything I should know besides the article How to install sql reporting services on a windows vista computer? Thanks I have sql express on my visual studio 2008, however I have not installed it. Will this be a problem if I install standard ediion?
I have been through virtually every last posting on installing SQL Server Express with Advanced Services in this site and still have no success accessing the Reporting Services site: http://localhost.reports$sqlexpress. I get a the correct background to the site as in the tutorials, but only get "ERROR - unable to connect to the remote server", which may be indicative because this is all installed on my local machine (Dell AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4000+ 2.11 Ghz, 1GB, Windows Ultimate). I have gone through How to install ... on a Windows Vista-based computer, KB934164, and most recently, How to configure .. to allow remote connections, kb 914277, in hopes of addressing the "remote server" issue. I still can't get past this obstacle. PLEASE HELP!! :-)
While installing SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition on Windows Vista Ultimate the setup alerts me "there are known compatibility problems, please install SP2 after this". So ok, all went nice and installed without error. IIS 7 installed fully, so all green in setup display. (But after installation i do not see any service which begins with SQL***...) At the end, the setup wanted to start the administration Tool. Ok, but my name was not listed, so i could not add me to the permitted users. I can not use any tool, because i have no rights.
Some Ideas?
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 9.00.3042.00 Microsoft Analysis Services-Clienttools 2005.090.3042.00 Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 6.0.6000.16386 (vista_rtm.061101-2205) Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0.6000.16546 Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.312 Betriebssystem 6.0.6000
Luckily I still have my old XP PC which has SS Reporting Services installed because my new PC w/Vista Home Premium does not have the Windows Authentication feature needed to install SSRS.
Does anyone know if there is an upgrade for Vista Premium to Business?? I'd much rather learn SSRS on my faster PC.
After wrestling my fair share on the Reporting services installation on Vista x64 with IIS 7.0 I figured to write out the details where the bells and whistles are found.
1. First Sergio Tarillo has written good guide for IIS 7.0 configuration so that Reporting Services accepts it. The guide is non-english, but the screenshots are self-explanatory:
2. After that the resulting error is complainment about ASP.NET being 32-bit and not 64-bit registered. This actually means, that the application pool is opted to run 32-bit code. The real toggle is located under IIS management Application Pools ==> Set Application Pool Defaults... (top-right on the screen).
Under there set Enable 32-bit Applications to False.
3. You will need to install SQL Server 2005 SP2 CTP.
Note: The files seem to be named according to the KB article; however the filename does not show how old/new edition the SP2 CTP actually is (or at least I happened to have some from end of the November, when the current one as of now is December CTP - with different file size).
Or choose the "safer" route and use the "Where to find the latest SPs page":
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913089
After the SP installation I got the Reporting Server Configuration Manager to work without errors. However I ran out of time to work around the other errors configuration permission issues still.
When I try to install Reporting Services on my Vista x64 machine, the following happens: In the System Configuration Check, there is a "ASP.Net Version Registration Requirement" warning. On the following section, Reporting Services is greyed out so cannot be installed.I have found many posts on this matter and all of them suggest going into "Turn Windows Features on / off" and enabling various IIS7 features. However, even though I have ticked every possible IIS7 feature the problem remained.
I have also installed SP2, but again this didn't help when I returned to the original installation.
I was struggling with installing reporting services from Sql 2005 dev edition on windows vista. I somehow managed to install the SQLExpress edition for Reporting Services, but now i want to unistall it and install Sql Reporting Services from Sql 2005 Dev edition CD.
When I try to unistall the SQlExpress Reporting Servie instance, the screen which says unistalling components disappears in a couple of secs and when i refresh the list of programs installed under Programs and features, i can still see SQLExpress Reporting Servies, i do not understand why this is happening and probably this is the reason behind not able to see the Reproting Services check box ungreyed when installing SQL 2005 dev edition. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME ON THIS PLEASE?
i'm a new to vista and also with sql server 2005 reporting services ..
i was able to install all the tools in sql2005 express edition except reporting services ..gives a message IIS required ..even though the IIS is running and able to browse http://localhost ..
can any one give me an idea , how to install reporting services on vista with IIS7
Has ANYONE actually gotten Reporting Services to install under Windows Vista Home Premium?!?!
I have gone through every possible fix, KB Article and anecdote and I STILL can't get it to install. Every IIS option is there that should be there.
In all honesty, what was Microsoft thinking? I'll make RS compatible with every OS we offer EXCEPT this one...
What truly bites is now that Visat is out, it is almost impossible to buy a new laptop/PC without it. Looks like it's nuke my new laptop and install XP...great...
I have a brand-new Toshiba laptop, running Vista Business, that I installed SQL Express onto. Prior to installation, I was sure to install all the requisite IIS components so SSRS would install.
The installation ran fine -- installed all components. The configuration ran fine. Everything that is supposed to be green shows green
But, when I go to http://localhost/ReportServer, I get:
Server Error in Application "Default Web Site/ReportServer"
HTTP Error 404.2 - Not Found Description: The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the ISAPI and CGI Restriction list settings on the Web server.
No handler mapping for this request was found. A feature may have to be installed. The Web service extension for the requested resource is not enabled on the server. The mapping for the extension points to the incorrect location. The extension was misspelled in the browser or the Web server. What you can try:
Install the feature that handles this request. For example, if you get this error for an .ASPX page, you may have to install ASP.NET via IIS setup. Verify that the Web service extension requested is enabled on the server. Open the IIS Manager and navigate to the server level. In the Features view, double-click ISAPI and CGI Restrictions to verify that the Web service extension is set to Allowed. If the extension is not in the list, click Add in the Actions pane. In the Add ISAPI and CGI Restrictions dialog box, type the path of the .dll or .exe file in the ISAPI or CGI Path box, or click Browse to navigate to the location of the file. In the Description box, type a brief description of the restriction. (Optional) Check "Allow extension path to execute" to allow the restriction to run automatically. If you do not check this option, the restriction status is Not Allowed, which is the default. You can allow the restriction later by selecting it and clicking Allow on the Actions pane. Click OK. NOTE: Make sure that this Web service extension or CGI is needed for your Web server before adding it to the list. Verify that the location of the extension is correct. Verify that the URL for the extension is spelled correctly both in the browser and the Web server. Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code. For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click here. More Information... This error occurs when the necessary Web service extension is not enabled, the location or the name of the extension are misspelled or incorrectly entered.

The only lead I could find when I googled this error was a reference to running appcmd to ensure that asp.net was enabled. It sure looks like it is:
Honestly... I'm out of ideas. I've been messing with this for 8 hours now, and I'm ready to fling the laptop out the window. I've completely UNinstalled SQL Server, IIS, reinstalled both, repeated the uninstall/reinstall after double-checking all files were deleted, and so on.
Does *anyone* know how to resolve this error? I checked IIS.NET and although they have a few references to it (not within the Reporting Services context) there never seems to be a definitive answer as to what the solution is.
I am trying to configure a reporting server on my laptop at work. This laptop is running Vista and IIS 7. When I install reporting services, the option for "Install the default configuration" is disabled (greyed out) during setup. The install is successful, but then when I try to connect in the Reporting Services Configuration Manager, I get an unhandled exception ("A WMI error has occurred an no additional error information is available."). If I continue, this error continues to crop up as I attempt to configure the Report Server. When I attempt to configure the virtual directory, the configuration manager crashes. Then, when I navigate to the reportserver page, I get a page that states: Server Application Unavailable
The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request.
Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the application event log of the web server. Please review this log entry to discover what caused this error to occur.
Any ideas for a solution or workaround would be greatly appreciated.
I am using vista, iis7 sql server 2005 sp2, vs 2005.
i first noticed that i could not deploy to the localhost server after upgrading to vista.
i installed sql server sp2 and configured the iis7 using the control panel. Everything i needed to check off got loaded exept the asp.net check box in the ApplicationDevelopmentFeatures subcategory under the iis configuration section.
It errored out when i clicked apply. there was no specific error just that it did not get added.
Controlpanel> Programs>T urnWindowsFeaturesOnAndOff> InternetInformationServices> WorldWideWebServices> ApplicationDevelopmentFeatures> Asp.net (check box)
When i click OK, afte a few minutes, i get a message:
"An error has occurred. Not all the features were successfully changed."
what good is iis7 if it cannot support asp.net?
I assume something is wrong. It is not permissions. I am the administrator account and i have assigned my account as the administrator for both sql server and reporting services.
I am having problems installing SP1 successfully. So far I've tried it on two separate Windows 2003 server boxes running SQL Server 2005 Standard v9.0.1399.
The first upgraded successfully all over services except the SQL server itself. Reporting services then failed due to database version mismatch but that was easily fixed. The other box doesn't have anything other than SQL2005 and components were upgraded but the database upgrade failed. I got the generic "send this error to microsoft" message.
I've tried other suggested fixes on this board but none have worked so far.
The Logfile seems to go haywire at about this point:
When I install SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP2 on Windows Vista, Reporting Services and Full-Text Search are not being installed. My user account is configured as a Standard User. When I initiate the installation, I'm prompted for the password for the administrator user account.
During the System Configuration Check, I get a warning for the IIS Feature Requirement action. The associated message says: "Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is either not installed or is disabled. IIS is required by some SQL Server features. Without IIS, some SQL Server features will not be available for installation. To install all SQL Server features, install IIS from Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel or enable the IIS service through the Control Panel if it is already installed, and then run SQL Server Setup again. For a list of features that depend on IIS, see Features Supported by Editions of SQL Server in Books Online."
KB Article 920201 ("You receive a warning message on the System Configuration Check page of the SQL Server 2005 Setup program on a computer that is running Windows Vista or a Server Core installation of Windows Server "Longhorn"") seems to address this issue. I used the Windows Features applet and selected all of the Internet Information Services items that were listed in the KB article; however, the "Windows Authentication" item was not in my list. ("IIS Metabase" and "IIS 6 WMI" were in my list but were worded differently--"IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility" and "IIS 6 WMI Compatibility", respectively--but I selected them both.) When I re-ran the SQLEXPR_ADV installer, I got the same warning...and Reporting Services and Full-Text Search were still not installed.
I went back into the Windows Features applet and selected all of the remaining unselected "Internet Information Services" items, and then re-ran the SQLEXPR_ADV installer. I got the same warning...and Reporting Services and Full-Text Search were still not installed.
It's frustrating that there is no obvious reason or error message as to why Reporting Services and Full-Text Search are not being installed. Are these features compatible with Windows Vista? Does anyone have an idea as to what the problem might be?
I am trying to migrate my reports from SQL server 2000 reporting services 32bit to 2005 64bit. I am following the migration steps that MS specified. Restored my Reportserver and ReportserverTempDB databases Then I was using the configure Report services to upgrade these databases but I always end up getting the follwoing exception when I run the upgrade on the "Database Setup" configuration for 'ReportServerTempDB' database System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'ReportServerTempDBTempDB'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning(TdsParserStateObject stateObj) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.Run(RunBehavior runBehavior, SqlCommand cmdHandler, SqlDataReader dataStream, BulkCopySimpleResultSet bulkCopyHandler, TdsParserStateObject stateObj) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.RunExecuteNonQueryTds(String methodName, Boolean async) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.InternalExecuteNonQuery(DbAsyncResult result, String methodName, Boolean sendToPipe) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() at Microsoft.ReportingServices.Common.DBUtils.ApplyScript(String connectionString, String script) at ReportServicesConfigUI.SqlClientTools.SqlTools.ApplyScript(String connectionString, String script)
It's driving me crazy, why is it looking for 'ReportServerTempDBTempDB' in the catalog instead of 'ReportServerTempDB'? Is it possible to migrate from 32bit to 64bit?

I'd recently upgraded SQL Server2000 to SQL server2005. I've been using Tibco DX to connect to the database. While working with SQL Server2000 things were going fine. I could access the databases from the repository through TibcoDX and could deploy my tasks which involved migrating data from source to target databases. But when I had installed SQL server 2005 an error cropped up while deploying tasks
Exception occurred while initializing the JDBCTransformer: The TCP/IP connection to the host has failed. java.net.UnknownHostException:
I'd checked the port numbers and they were matching, the TCP protocols were also enabled. But I'm not able to fix this problem. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thank You.
I have successfully created an Exchange 2000 linked server in Microsoft SQL server 2k. When I use my NT login, I can query it.
I'm now developping a website (ASP.NET in IIS 5). I have successfully created a web page querying my database. But now, I would like to query my linked server via my SQL server. I have try various authentification settings but I always got this error : OLE DB provider 'Exoledb.DataSource.1' reported an error. Authentication failed.
I know it is because the IIS process don't have any rights on the Exchange server but I would like to know what is the way to get around this without given rights to the IIS process (and creating huge security holes).
We are in the process of doing a side by side installation of the SQLserver 2000 and SQL server 2005 on the same server. To install theReporting services feature of SQL server 2005 requires IIS. We have aseperate web server running IIS that connects to the database server.My question is : can we still install Reporting services on thedatabase server without the IIS?Thank you
Hi, Our team is developing an ASP.NET 1.1 Application that is written using VS2003 but using SQL Server 2005 as database. Can we use a Report Viewer Control that comes with SQL Server 2005 in our ASP.NET 1.1 application? If not, Can some one suggest some alternative way of showing SQL Server 2005 Reports in ASP.NET 1.1 application?
Does anyone know how to beautify the parameter control layouts on a report header?
For example I have a drop down multi selection control for a parameter for a report. I'd like it to be three times as wide. I could just add spaces to the labels but I'd prefer a more elegant solution.
hi, i am using SQL server reporting services 2005. but when i tried to deply onto the report server, i am getting error "rsReportServerServiceUnavailable". can anybody tell me what is the problem. manytimes i m getting this error.

Apologies for the generic subject heading but I have a client who at my suggestion has implemented a reporting solution using SSRS. However, we are now finding serious limitations with this solution, primarily regarding exporting matrix data to Excel. The major concern is that after exporting matrix data you cannot sort, filter or format properly as we cannot repeat the group data, merged cells is also another big problem.
They are now seriously looking at bringing in different technology to address these problems and I was wondering if anybody had any positive ideas, as to how I can provide a way forward and overcome our issues?
Can I easily add an add-in to the existing export options, does SQL 2008 offer any improvements, are there any 3rd party offerings out there?
