From: SQL Programmer on
Hello:

The Initialization button in Report Configuration Manager is grayed out, and
we cannot login to Reporting Services through the SQL 2005 Studio. Upon
trying to do so, we get a very lengthy very crypt error message mentioning
ROBOTS = to this or that and a lot of other language that probably only a
Star Wars robot could in fact interpret. LOL!!!

TCP/IP is on, I'm an administrator, I'm logging in with the right
credentials, yadda, yadda, etc, etc.

Is reinstalling the only option at this point? IIS and SQL are on two
separate boxes. So, if I choose to remove SQL from the IIS box, it's not
going to have an effect on SQL on the SQL box is it?

What machine are you point the Report Configuration Manager? The one with
the SQL Server databases or the one with RS installed on it. Whichever one
you are doing try the other one (both are on the same server for me).

No, that did not work either.

You say you are an adminstrator. What are you an administrator on? Are you
an adminstrator on the SQL Server database?

It is not enough to be an administrator on the box running RS. You need
admin rights on SQL Server database.
