We had a problem yesterday - one of the SSRS servers in our internal farm got mis-configured and lost its encryption key. We removed the server from the farm as a short-term fix, but now when we try to add it back in, it doesnt show up in the SSRS Configuration tool as ready to initialize. We are following the steps in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159114.aspx, under "To install and configure the second report server instance", step (8) is where we're at.
Does anyone have any ideas why we can't re-add the server back into the farm?
Thanks in advance for any help ...

Does the instance you are trying to add back in contain any reports? If so I believe you are going to need the encryption key. I've not run into this but I have ran into similar problems when migrating from one server to another...
cheers,

Thanks for the quick response Ben.
Yes, it does. The original installer did backup the encryption key, but he cant find the password for the snk file!! If we can't recover the encryption key, is this an uninstall / re-install situation?
