IIS 6.0 and Windows Server 2003 Password prompt SQL Reporting Services

Posted by Chad McGreanor on December 18, 2008

I recently installed SQL Reporting Services 2005 without a problem.  So I thought.  After installing the software I ran the configuration tool, and found that I could not access the reportserver site.  I was prompted for a password and no matter what passsword was used, including Administrator I would continue to be prompted.

After some research I remembered during the install of IIS I was prompted for the Windows Server 2003 CD.  I provided the CD and the files required were not found.  I ended up needing to use an I386 folder I had on another server.  I thought that was wierd but it did get installed.  I found out that the software being used was from 1 CD and the software on the server was from another, as I had cloned an image to the server.  Long story short is I had to re-apply Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2.  After a reboot everything worked.
