sql server reporting installation

  • We plan to reinstall sql server 2005 on windows 2008 64 bit. We have some issues before when install reporting service.

    For preparation I read from this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938245/ How to install and how to configure SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008

    it says: In Windows Server 2008, you must configure the Report Server Web service or Report Manager to use an application pool that runs under a domain user account. To do this, follow these steps:............

    I remember the default uses network service account, so this account will not work? Do we have to use a domain account? From above statement, it sounds so.

    Also we installed database engine on E drive instead of C, but for reporting service, do we have to install it on C?

    Thanks

  • Any help Please??

  • What I see that maybe missing in that long support article is aspnet_regiis which is in the location below in your C drive which enables Asp.net 2.0 because SSRS 2005 is dependent on it. You need to create a domain account to install SSRS or change it in configuration manager and yes SSRS 2005 is not configurable during installation so it is C drive. You also need at least SP2 or SP3.
