  • Why use Express Edition?   It is not able to have SQL Agent operate.  Not sure about SSRS, but it might not be capable of that either.   On the other hand, SQL Server Developer Edition can do everything the Enterprise version can, but it's not properly licensed if you allow more than one user to access it.

    1. Reporting services isn't listed in the services for configuration manager so I would guess you haven't configured it yet?.
    Check this directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared
    and see if you have a file named: sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof
    If you do, open your command prompt as administrator and run this:
    mofcomp.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof"
    and then restart the winmgmt service

    2. You should do like the message says - Check the Windows event logs. That should tell you what the problem is with the service.

    I just looked more at your screenshots - it looks like it is not Express with Advanced Services? In that case you wouldn't have SSRS.
    You can upgrade from Express to Standard but if you upgrade to 2008R2 standard, you would be running in a version that is nearly out of support. If you were to be on a higher service pack, you'd have more options. You could go to 2008R2 or 2012 on SP1. Here is the supported upgrade matrix - you would want to check the other versions drop down at the top to see what upgrade paths require which versions :
