deploying reports to report server - sql-server

I configured SSRS 2008 on a remote server.
I can access the report manager from my local machine using http://SERVER_NAME/Reports_INSTANCE_NAME
problem is that when I try to deploy a report from BIDS, I get the "reporting services login" dialog box that asks me for user and password. I try my AD user and it doesnt work.
I already added myself to all possible roles, including System Administrator.
I saw online that the problem maybe with the IIS website that must be configured to allow anonymous access. That's fine, but where can I configure that since SSRS2008 doesn't create the websites on IIS anymore (also read that online) and I don't seem to have this possibility using the Reports Service Configuration Manager

Take a look at the link below...it's in reference to 2008 CTP, but there are still some items to check in your setup...

In your report configuration file, try removing the RSWIndowsNegotiate from the Authentication tag:
<Authentication>
<AuthenticationTypes>
<RSWindowsNegotiate />
</AuthenticationTypes>
<EnableAuthPersistence>true</EnableAuthPersistence>
</Authentication>

ssrs password accessing report builder

After successfully installing SQL Server Express 2012. I am trying to get set up my Report Builder. Unfortunately I am asked for a password when clicking on the Report manager URL or the Web Services URL. It says something like this (connecting to "my_Pc").
As far as I am aware I do not have any password on my PC nor set up one when configuring my SQL Server. Please note that I have not configure SSRS yet and my Service account is still ReportServer$SQLExpress. How do I sort this out please
?
Issue is with how you have created data source for Report.
Data source is created with option "Prompted Credentials" .
It should be created with "Stored Credentials" or "Windows Integrated Security"

At one point you might have configured the user "sa", have you tried using sa login to access the report page? If you are using machine id to authenticate with sql server, to configure a new user, after you connect to your database, browse down to security > logins > right-click and choose "new login".
One easy solution for this is to check the browser you are using . |I was using internet explorer edge and realise that explorer edge was simply not trusting that site. So if you are on explorer just go on setting and trust the site.
However I was on IE edge which does not trust any site. I changed it for google chrome. Everything is running perfectly fine. just change the browser (Internet Explorer best as Google could pose problem to visualize data when creating reports) and refresh everything should be running just fine.

Permissions Issues with SQL Server Reporting Services

Please help this beginner here...
I have a SQL Server 2008 R2 running on Windows Server 2008 R2.
I have Visual Studio installed on my PC.
I created my first report and tried to deploy it. It wouldn't deploy and give me a permission error saying that my (domain) account doesn't have permission to do that. So I took the quidk and dirty way out, and made - temporarily - my account an admin in the Windows 2008 Server machine. That worked, and I was able to deploy the report.
Then I sent the URL link to my boss... but now she couldn't run it because of permissions. So I can't follow the same quick and dirty solution and make all users admins in that machine...
So the question is, where and to what should I set the permissions?
Also, I can't find IIS in that server (I tried running inetmgr from the command prompt). Is it possible that it's not running or installed and still the report runs from a browser for me? I can't find the familiar "Add/Remove Windows Components".
Thanks.
You should create a service account and run all of the reports via this account. This can be configured in the Report Configuration tools. Additionally you should add your boss as a Content Viewer/Report Viewer role in the SSRS security section. You can get to this section by navigating to the URL specified when you configured SSRS, usually http://localhost/ReportServer

TFS Reporting Services Configuration Error - The RPC Server is Unavailable

I'm trying to configure Team Foundation Reporting but without any success.
The App Tier and the Data Tier are in separate servers.
I guess it's not a port/firewall problem, because I opened port 135, and I can see the established connection by using TCPView (from Sysinternals) whenever I click "Populate URLs" in the Reports tab in TFS Administration Console. I can also telnet servername 135 without any problems.
I also checked if WMI service is started in the Data-Tier. And for SQL Server Reporting Services. Also checked for RPC and RPC Locator in both servers. They're all started and automatic.
I also set tfs app user as admin in sql reporting services. Added all kinds of permissions to the tfs user in the Data-Tier server.
I set all user permissions in dcomcnfg.
Allowed all WMI namespaces permissions to the user. (Computer Management -> WMI Control)
Deactivated Windows Firewall in both servers temporarily.
No luck.
However, in the app-tier, when I click Computer Management -> Connect to another computer, and type the data-tier IP, i can't connect. I get the message "Computer xxx cannot be managed. The network path was not found". How is that ? Tried IP, name, and FQDN. I also tried browsing and selecting the computer. Nothing changed.
I'm lost, what could possibly be happening ?
Thanks in Advance!
i'm betting that you're having the double-hop issue. try having your system admin set an spn for the website on the sql server.
you also need the AD permission 'trust for delegation' on the AD Service Account, right?
do that and SetSpn with the service account, that should help I think that the SPN option was spot on
See this answer:
IIS to SQL Server kerberos auth issues
which links to an old but user-friendly troubleshooting web app called DelegConfig. It can try to run the SetSpn commands for you, at least giving you an idea of what they need to be.
I ran into SPN issues when using an externally-accessible URL (+SSL) everywhere.

Stop SQL Reporting Server Hijacking /Reports

How do you stop SQL server reporting services from hijacking the /reports virtual folder on ALL websites on the server it's installed on. Have just discovered that all the websites on the box with the reporting server on (its a dev box), have /Reports overridden by the reporting services manager. How do I turn this off?
Have tried stopping the service, disabling it in the config file, all to no avail (the service is still hijacking the url, you just get a "service unavailable" error instead of the report manager). Short of uninstalling reporting services, is there a way to switch this off?
I had the exact same problem - very annoying when your own web application uses a /Reports folder, couldn't understand why I was getting "File or Directory Not Found" errors on IIS when navigating to my reports page.
Phil is correct the easiest solution (using SQL Server 2008 R2) is to run Reporting Services Configuration Manager, connect to your local instance and change the Virtual Directory under "Report Manager URL" to something more unique (I used "/ReportingServices").
This fixed the problem and my /Reports folder was restored to my own web app!
Assuming you are using SQL Server 2008 R2 reporting services you can do this via the Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
But consider telling us the version of reporting services.
You can also change the port it listens to via the Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
I have set mine to 8080 instead of 80, and it has solved the problem for me.

New to SSRS Configuration

I am trying to install and configure SSRS on SQL 2005.
When I click Reporting Services Configuration, I get a message saying
No report servers were found on the specified machine - Details
Invalid namespace.
How can I resolve this?
You don't "configure SSRS on SQL Server 2005", as such.
It's a component that you choose at install time (like Analysis Services, Integration Services etc). For SSRS, then you require IIS as a prerequsite and it won't be installed if IIS is not present.
The error itself is 100% correct if SSRS is not installed...
Is it actually installed?
Edit:
Just got this on one of my feeds: KB 960374 that describes the exact error above
Quite simple. Place your disc with SQL in and run setup. Add features to your existing instance and select Reporting Services. Once installed it would have created 2 databases on your SQL Server named ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB
Open the services configuration and you should be prompted to connect to an instance of Reporting Services.
If you see this screen then you are ready to go.
--Read this only if you might have questions to ask
Setup a service account for Network Service (save the .snk key and it will create your IIS entries etc. If you don't have IIS then upgrade your OS to a compatible version. It can be installed via Add or Remove Windows Features)
Make sure your new database is selected in the Database section. If not, then follow the screen to add it
Open the Report Manager URL and click on the link. (You may need to be in as an administrator)
When you want to deploy reports, simply update your solution properties with the TargetURL pointing to the Web Service URL that is available after setting up the Service Account)
Ask anything further if you need the guidance. I've done this to about 5 servers in the past month already, so I know what can go wrong.
Cheers,
