Hi there,

I'm trying to setup the Beta release of MS SQL Server Reporting Services. I'm installing this product on a laptop with Win XP Prof. This laptop has the SQL Server client tools installed.

The setup needs to connect to my SQL Server server, which is on another machine, a standalone server with Windows Server 2003 S.E.

I can connect to this SQL instance with the query analyzer from the laptop perfectly. But the reporting services setup claims:

"Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection."

The Security of the server is set to "SQL Server and Windows".

Any help appreciated.

Gr., Jeroen.

What service account is the remote SQL Server running under. In RS setup what account are you specifying to connect to the ReportServer database ?

For the remote SQL Server I both tried running it under the Local Systems account as well as under the NT local administrator account. I try to log on to this server using a SQL Server login which I created. This account has the "System administrator" server role.

If I remember correctly there is a config file that stores all the parameters specified at install make sure the accounts have the proper rights to login to the two reporting services databases.
Also double check the accounts which the iis web site for reports and the web service for report server is running under.
