Hi akumbabarns
I had a similar problem early this week on a freshly installed SSRS 2008 on my development laptop (Windows 7); I will explain the steps I did to resolve my issue.
Report Manager: http://localhost:80/Reports_InstanceName
Close Reporting Services Configuration Manager
We were reviewing the parameters we will need later
Type UAC on the Search program and files
Click on User Account Control Setting option
Pull the lever down to Never Notify
Reboot your workstation
We will reset the UAC setting once we finish the whole procedure
Type in your Report Manager URL (the one identified on the first block of this procedure)
The Report Manager now renders the Home folder with the Contents and Properties tabs
Click on the Properties tab.
Click on the New Role Assignment button
Assign your account domain/user_name to the Content Manager role.
Click on the Ok button to save the new user-role
Click on the Site Settings link located at the top-right of the browser's window
Click on its Security option located on the left pane
Add yourself to the System Administrator and System User roles.
Click on the Ok button to save the changes
Close the browser
Type UAC on the Search program and files
Click on User Account Control Setting option
Pull the lever to the same position it has before.[/b]
Reboot your workstation
Click on the Properties node
Enter the name for the TargetDataSourceFolder
Enter the name for the TargetReportFolder
Enter the target server URL http://localhost/ReportServer_InstanceName
It is up to you to set the property OverwriteDataSources to true or false
Click on the Ok button to close the properties window.
That's it, you should be able to deploy your reports to your local report server.
You will need to enter your login credential when accessing the Report Manager via the browser.
Hope this helps.
