Bruce,
I have one red x. It is on "Web Service Identity".
Thanks,
Trint

From: Bruce L-C [MVP] on
That's your problem. Nothing will work without that. Report Manager (the
portal that ships with RS) uses web services. You need to get that Green.
For ASP.Net Service account I have NT Authority\NetworkService

For the application pools I use ReportServer for both.

Bruce,
I did as you said and the (more information on this error) gave me
this:

ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.WMIProviderException: A virtual
directory must first be created before performing this operation.


at
ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.SetWebServiceIdentity(String
applicationPool)

Thanks,
Trint

From: Bruce L-C [MVP] on
Open up IIS Manager and see if you have the two websites: Reports and
ReportServer. If you do not then something went wrong during your install
and I suggest uninstalling and reinstall RS (not SQL 2005, just Reporting
Services). Make sure that the login you use to the server is a member of the
local administrator group when installing.
