I moved a SQL ReportServer test machine to to a different VLAN . When browing
to Report Server, I got "The report server installation is not initialized.
Check the documentation for more information. (rsReportServerNotActivated)"
Don'y ask why, but I reinstallled SQL RS after backing up the RS database.

After reinstalling, I restored the original db, browsed to the RS & my stuff
is back. But when I choose an rpt., I get, "An error has occurred during
report processing. rsProcessingAborted) Bad Data. Rebooting at this point
resulted in, "The report server installation is not initialized. Check the
documentation for more information. (rsReportServerNotActivated) (Again)

I ran rsactivate -c "c:\program files\microsoft sql server\mssql\reporting
services\reportserver\rsreportserver.config", which resulted in, "Failure
starting the web service: The local NT Service is not activated" (even though
the MSDTC service is running). What service is RS complaining about?

My goal is to backup my encryption keys to avoid any security errors & get
my reports back without having to run rskeymgmt -d. This fixes the issue but
kills all security & datasources. When I run rskeymgmt -e -fc:\rsdbkey.txt, I
get, "The local NT Service is not activated 0x800a0bcd" (Same complaint
source as rsactivate?)

Upgrading to SP2 results in, "The report server installation is not
initialized." also.

Is there a way I can get my reports back with the original security structure?

Thanking anyone in advance for their insight.
