Home Forums SQL Server 2005 Administering Report Server Windows Service (MSSQLSERVER) cannot connect to the report server database. RE: Report Server Windows Service (MSSQLSERVER) cannot connect to the report server database.

  • You need to run SSRS on Network service account because the local systems account does not have access to network resources. Go to configuration manager and right click go to properties and you can change the account there

    if this is the case, I should get the error all the time right? but Iam get only once in a day...

    I recently upgraded reporting service 2000 to 2005. I did not change anything after the upgrade. The reports are running fine, so far I did not get any complaints. But in the event viewer, Iam seeing this error daily once.
