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,

I am trying to find a solution to three issues I have encountered recently relating to SQL Server 2014. I am not an expert with this stuff by any means, but I've sort of fallen into needing to learn it in my current role. I went from never using SSMS a few months ago to (Trying) to teach myself how to use SSIS and SSRS. I've made a ton of progress, but now I'm stuck actually getting everything automated the way I want it.
The biggest challenge, and root of all my problems, stems from the fact that I am not a local admin on my machine. It was great to finally get IT to install the programs, but they do not want to give me, or anyone not in IT in my company, local admin access. Apart from asking my director to try to convince them to do so, I'm hoping for some solutions that would mean I don't have to call them every day to run these programs.
My integration server is running, I've got my SSIS packages built, but I can't connect to the Integration Server through SSMS, as I am not a local admin on my machine. I've read about going through dcomcnfg settings for REMOTE access issues, but I'm worried that won't help here since I'm trying to do this from the local machine and it still doesn't work. Any ideas as to how I can change the settings so that it runs for non-admin accounts or just make it work?
SSRS: I've built a report, and want to deploy it, but I don't have access to the reporting services configuration manager either. For whatever reason my reporting server is stopped in the server configuration manager. When I click on it, it says to use reporting services config mgr to tweak settings, so a bit stuck. Appears to be the same issue - not a local admin. Again, are there any settings I can change (getting IT to log in as an admin and walking them through what to change is my only choice, essentially).
SQL Server agent appears to be the same issue...
I could probably run my reports now, but it would be so much nicer to use these programs to the full extent. Any help would be appreciated here. I tried to research as much as possible, but most solutions seem to relate to logging on myself as an admin, running things as admin, etc, and I just can't do that.
Thanks!
You do not need to be local admin on your machine, SSIS and SSAS require Windows Authentication to log on remotely to the server via SSMS and publishing anything to the server from BIDS / SSDT Visual Studio Shell also requires WinAuth, though you can work locally and then swap the package to the server via Ctrl-C, and also instead of deploying SSRS you can login directly to the report manager and upload an RDL file (report). To start and stop SQL Agent services you need Windows Authentication via SSMS (in your setup), but to view the SQL Agent you must be in the SQL Server SysAdmin role (or at a grain level SQL Agent Reader via the MSDB rights.
I recommend you attempt to not get local administrator rights and instead ask 'merely' for rights to read and write to the server drives, and to manage only the aspects of SQL Server and it's services with a domain login on the server. You will require this anyway to check ingress and egress file locations and debug production issues (unless you have FTP to the box).
You do not have access to stop or start SQL Agent from your client SSMS also because I believe you are accessing it via SQL Authentication, which is not ideal or secure. But if you do not see the agent on the bottom left of SSMS it is because you do not have rights. If you see the Agent and it is red then the service is disabled and must be started.
You will need to get direct access to the SQL box (and you do not need local admin to manage SQL Server, just a domain account with some service rights and drive rights). If your system administrators are running SQL Server under Local Admin, then they should not be managing SQL Server in the first place (see my write up hyperlinked below).
The SSRS Team at Microsoft has merged into the SharePoint team, and SharePoint 2013 wraps up all of the BI tools right into it, so that is something you should also consider if you plan on building out a BI shop at your firm, i.e. you may not have to if you already have SharePoint installed.
Good luck, don't get discouraged.
What user account would you recommend running the SQL Server Express 2008 services in a development environment?
I have created a SSIS Package and now want to deploy it, for that I am required to create the Integration Service Catalog,so I have SQL Server Evaluation Set up in that when I m trying to connect the integration service, I am getting following error,
Connecting to the Integration Services service on the computer
"RESHMAJADHAV"
failed with the following error: "Access is denied."
By default, only administrators have access to the Integration Services service.
On Windows Vista and later,
the process must be running with administrative privileges in
order to connect to the Integration Services service.
See the help topic for information on how to configure access to the service.
Also I have observed that my instance for SQL Server Evaluation edition is RESHMAJADHAV\SQL_SERVER_EVALU but when I am trying to connect this server, then this option is not shown under Integration Services as shown below,
.
I am unable to sort this out, since I am entirely new to this, please explain what can be the solution.
Please make a note, I also have sql server express edition ,but since it doesn't support to create the SSIS Integration service catalog then I installed the SQL Server Evaluation edition .
Also when I am trying to connect via SQL Database as shown in below image,
then while creating the integration service catalog, it is given the following error
Password validation failed.
The password doesn't meet the requirements of password of the password filter DLL.
Change database context to SSISDB.
One fact I have observed, I don't know whether it is related or not but when I am trying to enter password for my system, then also it's giving same error that password doesn't meet the requirement and also when while installing the SQL Server edition, it gave the same error, no doubt my password was very strong and fulfill all the requirements of strong password, currently I am trying to run my SQL Server with windows authentication mode and also I have tried to disable the strong password policies from the administrative tools but it's totally futile....any help will be greatly appreciated.
Go to all programs
Click on Microsoft SQL Server 2012 folder
Right click on SQL Server Management Studio
Click on Run as Administrator
This should take care of problem for now. (With this you need to always repeat the same process). To avoid this every time and for a more persistent solution you need to get permission(s). Please do the following process and you should be good.
In previous versions of SQL Server, by default when you installed SQL Server all users in the Users group had access to the Integration Services service. When you install the current release of SQL Server, users do not have access to the Integration Services service. The service is secure by default. After SQL Server is installed, the administrator must grant access to the service.
To grant access to the Integration Services service
Run Dcomcnfg.exe. Dcomcnfg.exe provides a user interface for modifying certain settings in the registry.
In the Component Services dialog, expand the Component Services > Computers > My Computer > DCOM Config node.
Right-click Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services 11.0, and then click Properties.
On the Security tab, click Edit in the Launch and Activation Permissions area.
Add users and assign appropriate permissions, and then click Ok.
Repeat steps 4 - 5 for Access Permissions.
Restart SQL Server Management Studio.
Restart the Integration Services Service.

I hope this will help
I researched little bit and then I came to know it was actually the problem of HP Security Tool Manager service of HP Laptop which was messing with the password of system,SQL Setup and catalog of Integration Service,I uninstalled it from PC and now my problem is resolved..
look like you don't have a admin privilege.
so start->sql server->right click->run as administrator
it might solve !!!
it's not clear whether this is due to your windows password or the SSISDB encryption password http://fendy-huang.blogspot.com.au/2012/01/sql-server-2012-integration-services.html.
I suggest you think of a very long complicated password with a mixture of upper, lower and punctiation like this:
~~AgFcDeUk17aP9%3(5#hY,lTSs9+
and put that into the encryption field when creating the catalog. If that doesn't get around your error, try changing your windows password to that. The only way to solve thedr things is divide and conquer. Once you know which password is the issue you can attack it further.
I had recently installed SQL server 2012 and I used mostly the default settings. Database works fine and I can happily connect using SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) but when I connect to the Integration Services Server I get this message
Connecting to the Integration Services service on the computer
"localhost" failed with the following error: "Access is denied."
By default, only administrators have access to the Integration
Services service. On Windows Vista and later, the process must be
running with administrative privileges in order to connect to the
Integration Services service. See the help topic for information on
how to configure access to the service.
here is the screenshot
I am not sure why but I am the domain admin and have full rights over the server. Also why when I connect from my Desktop it can successfully connect, only if I connect from the server itself which gives me this issues. How do I fix this so that I can make SSMS on the server connect to its Integration Services instance.
As I understand it, User Access Control, or UAC, can basically intercept requests for your group membership so in this case, it appears it was preventing your membership getting passed to SQL Server.
Others have noted in their comments that you may still need to right click and run SSMS as an Administrator.
As noted by an astute observer "This is a quick-fix, not a real solution. People shouldn't just be running stuff as administrator. These security walls are in place for a reason" And I agree. UAC is designed to get Windows users into a Principle of least privilege mindset - only escalate to a powerful account when required. The issue is that SSMS is known to not "play well" with UAC. As I see it, this leaves you with three options
You can turn off UAC and get your work done
Leave UAC on and tell your boss you are unable to work
Write your own query tool that is not affected by UAC
Go to all programs Click on Microsoft SQL Server 2012 folder Right click on SQL Server Management Studio Click on Run as Administrator

Right Click on the Sql Server Management Studio and select Run as Administrator and try to connect
if it is installed on the local instance
You should check to see what user the SSIS Service is running under. Go to Start > Run > Type "services.msc" and scroll down to the SQL Server Integration Services 11.0 entry. Right click and check the properties to find out what user it's running under. The second tab should be the LogOn tab. Since you're just running on a local instance, you can set your user as the LogOn User account and SSIS will have the same permissions that you do.
Lost a day of work on that problem. My package has a .NET script task to copy file from a shared network folder to a local folder and I was stuck with the "access denied" exception every time I tried to execute the package from the server (Through SQL Studio). The package works fine when running locally.
Tried many things picked up here and there and at the end of the day what worked is to create a Job (owner is sa) which execute the package as SSISExecutor.
I have to mention that the file on the network has read access for everyone, and that I still don't understand what was wrong.
I am a newbie with DotNetNuke and have been stumbling on how to deploy from the development server to the deployment server. For starters my development and deployment servers are one and the same machine. Here are the steps that I did:
DNN Setup
Downloaded DNN using WebMatrix.
Launched DNN and proceeded with the installation wizard, which is basically just testing the environment and then creating the DNN database.
After the wizard's installation launching DNN will now proceed to the Getting Started page
Added "localhost/dnn" in the site alias list
Moving to ISS
In IIS I added application (folder) DNN in the web root
I copied all the files from the original webmatrix path to the dnn folder in c:\inetpub\webroot making sure that the file/folder hierarchies are the same
Result:
When launching DNN using my browser I am directed to the installation wizard page instead of the Getting Started page. What am I missing?
Thanks!
Confirm that the permissions on the folder containing DNN are the same on your test server as they are on your development server. (I give Network Service read/write and IUsr Read/Execute)
Confirm that the application pool running your application has the proper identity (Network Service is suggested) and is running the proper .NET Framework version; based upon your question, I think you are set on this.
Gain access to your web.config file. You will see a ConnectionStrings section. You probably need to update the connection strings.
If your test server runs off of a different database than your dev server, figure out the connection string of your test server and update your connection string accordingly
You may be able to restore a .BAK file of your DB to your test server
If you do this, you will probably need to (in SSMS) edit your Portal Alias table to include the host name that you are using in your test server environment. Examples: Maybe you access the site via localhost/ on your dev environment, but you access to test site via test.Ronald.com? test.Ronald.com would be your PortalAlias
If your test server runs off the same database server as your dev server, it sounds like you need to open up access in firewalls so that your test server has connectivity to your dev database
A word of advice
Once you get it running, you will be making changes to each database separately (assuming your test site and dev site use different DB Servers). This sync issue can be a royal pain with DNN, as your page structures, module assignments, html module contents, installed modules/extensions will get out of sync. While restoring backups is nice, it is not a very good long-term solution. I recommend database-syncing tools
The problem is most likely a problem with DNN not being able to find the Database. If it can't find the database, it will run the wizard in order to create one.
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.
