Hi guys,

My users are unable to view reports on server A. When trying to access it shows up as users have no access to the reports.
We have another server B which also deploys the same set of reports,to the same set of users as Server A.Users are able to view the reports on Server B.
Both server B & A are used for deploying reports that are created on another development server.I am very new to the concepts of IIS and report administration.Could someone tell me what I can start checking on? What are the settings that I can compare on both server ?

If I am not very clear on the problem explained above.Do let me know I would be glad to explain futher.

After futher investigation here is what I found, when user tries to access reports on ServerA, a pop up appears asking them to key in their user name and password.This does not happend when they try to access reports on ServerB.How do I overcome this problem ?

Hi rmiao,
Do I need to go into Mngt Studio Connect to Reporting Services and then Security Folder Or Do I go and check in Mngt Studio> Database Engine> Report Server db OR Mngt Studio >Security tab?

Am I missing on anything else ?

Thank You In advance

I set up a special secure user/password for SSRS via the SSRS Config screen, then set the user up in SQL Server 2005 accordingly.
With regards to IIS, I find that IIS 6 is more tricky than 5.1. I ended up giving Domain Admin permission to my IUSR_ user as people outside of my domain couldn't access the reports.
