Hi All,
Well today I guess things happened cos SSRS wanted me to learn some of its features....When I tried to run reports today, I got the error "The remote name could not be resolved". When I browsed for answers for this..The best solution was to change the computer name in reportconfig (The default location for this file on my development machine is
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3\Reporting
Services\ReportManager.)
When I checked for computer name, I noticed that the computer name was same but the domain name was different. Now since my computer is on the companies network, i,e domain name is set by the company..I did not have an option to change it...So I had to set SSL for this domain..
My server has vista on it..to set the SSL certificate..I opened IIS window>SSL certificate> Create Self signed Certificate> Specified test name as 'TestCert'> Click okay. Now SSL has picked the most recent domain name of the computer automaticaly.
Come back to reporting server, reconfigure the new SSL. While doing this it will certify the new SSL.
After this is done, I encountered the below errors
The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.
Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))
The remote name could not be resolved
This was resolved by following the below step
Set the "Service Account" in the SSRS report configuation tp "Network Service"
And then follow the below steps
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
3. Right-click Lsa, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
4. Type DisableLoopbackCheck, and then press ENTER.
5. Right-click DisableLoopbackCheck, and then click Modify.
6. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
7. Quit Registry Editor, and then restart your computer.
Bingo..my reporting manager was back....
