Errors with SRS in Sharepoint Integration Mode

Hi Everyone,

Our project has two servers. One server is running WSS 3.0 and the SQL Reporting Services web front-end. We have a second server that operates all the databases involved (WSS Content, SRS, and our application specific DB).

We do not have a domain controller in our architecture. The WSS site is configured to use SQL authentication to connnect and modify the WSS Content database. We installed SRS, SRS service pack 2, and the Sharepoint add-in. We are using forms authentication for our WSS site. We would like to use SRS in Sharepoint Integration mode, but we are unable to create datasources, view reports, etc. SRS is configured to use the "Trusted Account" in WSS Central Admin.

When we attempt to create a new datasource, and we received an error stating the object moved and to check that SRS is in Sharepoint integration mode.

When we attempt to view a report, we get an error stating:

"An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server. Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode."

I have a feeling this has to do with the Windows Service Account and the Web Service Identity for SRS. What type of account should we use since we do not have a domain?

Thank you,

Michael milazzo

As explained here, in Trusted Account mode, WSS sends the requests to the Report Server under the identity of the SharePoint application. By default, the IIS 6.0 application pool runs under NT AUTHORITY\Network Service. Since you don't have a domain setup, try changing the application domain identity to a local Windows user account which has the same name and password as a privileged account on the Report Server that has access to the report catalog. If you had domain setup, the request could have gone under Domain\WSS machine name$ and you could have granted access to that account.

Error: SQL Server does not exist or access denied. (Error code 17).

Hello everyone.

I am trying to install Project Server, and i'm having issues with sharepoint, and connecting to SQL:

dataserver is running sbs2003 sql2003 and analsys services.

server2 is running server2003 is to be the application server for project.

ProjectDb is the database that i have setup in sql.

username is the account that can control everything as administrer.

in Sharepoint is asks for the database server: <<dataserver>>

SQL Server database name: <<ProjectDb>>

I'm using windoes authentication and then i click ok, and get the error message.

I've also see the error message can not find the SQL Server, and access denied. Under ODBC i have installed the sql server information under System DSN.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Start by confirming that SQL Server is running and that you can access it directly. I take it this is SQL Server 2000, so you should have Query Analyzer installed and you can use it to try to connect to your database. Also (more basic) check to confirm that the SQL Server service is started.|||

SQL is running I have the Query Analyzer installed. All services are started. I can access the Sql Server from my desktop so i know that part is working.

But when I try to start up the data connection of the sharepoint services on the server running server 2003 i still get the error message.

Data services are all running on both servers.

Thanks for your reply

It would be nice if you two finished this thread. I can't tell you how many times I've gone searching the MS web site for resolution of error messages only to find this type of non-solution. If this is all you can do then why don't you delete the useless thread.
