Web Service Identity & Reporting Windows "Service"

  • Hello All,

    I've installed the SQL Server 2005 Reporting services on my local system and have been trying to configure it for about a few days now. I've used search engines and and scoured through forums and what not but it seems I'm the only one person in this whole world having issues configuring SSRS.

    First issue:

    SSRS service will not start. Error below:

    System.ServiceProcess.TimeoutException: Time out has expired and the operation has not been completed.

    at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus desiredStatus, TimeSpan timeout)

    at ReportServicesConfigUI.Panels.ServerInformationPanel.StartStopServiceTask(Boolean start)

    I have IIS 5.1 installed, .NET 2.0 Framework installed and have two virtual directories, one for the "ReportServer" and the other for the "ReportManager". Both fall under my default website and I'm installing this to test it out on my local system. The two DB's have been created in SQL Server 2005, ReportServer & ReportServerTempDB.

    After finding a workaround by going inside one of the configuration files and adding IWAM_mycomputername between the tags, the service starts. However, I dont want to perform a workaround, it should be a straight-forward install/configuration. I'm using & selecting everything as "default".

    Any idea's on how to start the service.......w/o the workaround ofcourse.. Thanks!

    Second Issue:

    Web Service Identity under Reporting Services Configuration Tool will not get "Applied" when I click on "Apply". Below is the error:

    ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.WMIProviderException: An unknown error has occurred in the WMI Provider. Error Code 8007056B

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

    I'm using the default ASP .NET service account which is MyComputerName\ASPNET. (Even if I wanted to, I couldnt change it.. it doesnt give me that option).

    Any help or advise will be highly appreciated. Thanks again.

    Regards,

    Omair

  • Okay, just so if someone as unfortunate as me stumps at this point... just re-install your .NET Framework (in my case 2.0) and everything will magically start working.. well not magically but you know what I mean 😀

  • nice job. was thinking that maybe you had to register asp.net with iis, but maybe that wasn't the issue or maybe it was resolved after you installed the framework.

  • Oh yeah.. I tried registering as well.. nothing would work. I'm not sure what was causing the problem and really don't have the time to look into it. I guess re-installing .NET didnt take as long and was a fairly simple process. Just rebooted my machine and everything worked like a charm. I could be lucky..
