Upgrading SSRS from 2000 to 2008

  • I am trying to upgrade SQL 2000 reporting services to SQL 2008. I backed up the ReportSever and ReportServer TempDB and restored successfully, However when I try to restore the encryption key from SQL 2000 I get this error below. Please suggest.

    Microsoft.ReportingServices.WmiProvider.WMIProviderException: The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'C.0.6.43'. The expected version is '147'. (rsInvalidReportServerDatabase) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WmiProvider.RSWmiAdmin.ThrowOnError(ManagementBaseObject mo) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.WmiProvider.RSWmiAdmin.RestoreEncryptionKey(Byte[] encryptedBytes, String password) at ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.RestoreEncryptionKey(Byte[] encryptedBytes, String password)

    Thank You

    Thank You

    I haven't done this with ReportServer but when upgrading other SQL 7/2000 parts to 2008 or later, I've found the easiest path (path of least problems) being an intermediate upgrade to 2005 and then onwards.

  • Have you used Reporting Services Configuration Manager to point at the newly restored databases?

    That should trigger the databases being automatically upgraded which it doesn't sound has happened yet.

  • Thank you !

    I am planning to try on SQL 2005 now.
