Services fail when using SSRS 2008 R2


This article applies to:

  • Marshal Reporting Console 2.5
  • SQL Server 2008 R2 with SSRS

Symptoms:

  • Reports cannot be generated
  • MRC Executor and Scheduler services fail 

Causes:

  • The services run by default under the Network Service or Local System account. These accounts do not have permission to access SSRS.

Resolution:

To resolve the issue, run the MRC Executor and Scheduler services using a Windows credential that can access SSRS.

  • By default, members of the Administrators group on the local server have full permissions.
  • MRC requires full access to SSRS functions, including the ability to create and manage jobs. Trustwave recommends that you use an account that is a member of the Administrators group, or has equivalent SSRS permissions.

Notes:

This issue applies to the full versions of SQL 2008 R2 with SSRS only. It does not apply to SQL 2008 R2 Express.
