• 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.

  • Open Reporting Services Configuration Manager
    • Service Account Local System

      Report Manager: http://localhost:80/Reports_InstanceName

      Close Reporting Services Configuration Manager

      We were reviewing the parameters we will need later

  • Disable User Account Control Setting
    • Click on the Start button

      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

  • Configuring Report Manager
    • Start your browser Internet Explorer

      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

  • Enable User Account Control Setting
    • Click on the Start button

      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

  • Open BIDS and your project
    • On the solution explorer, right-click on your project node

      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.
