TFS RC installation Error 28805

So I have been good so far on a clean install of the RC untill I try to install the application tier. The progress bar gets almost to the end and I get an error message labeled:

Error 28805 Setup cannot finish the request to the SQL Server 2005 Reporting Service report server. Verify that the report server is installed and running, and that you have sufficient privledges to access it.

I have report server install and running on the box that the application tier is being installed to as per the install instructions rather than on the SQL Server box. I am installing with TFSSETUP as the user and it is in the local administrator group.

I am assuming this is some simple permissions issue but I can for the life of me figure out what to change.

Thanks!

Please make sure that the ReportServer databases are dropped and removed (including the mdf and ldf files).

You should then be able to re-run the AT install again.

Let us know if that works

Marc,

One other thing you could verify. In the SQL Reporting Services Config Tool, in the Database Setup tab, make sure you are using Windows Credentials. I have seen this same problem if you are selecting to authenticate using network credentials.

Thanks,

I should clarify that this is for a dual server setup. From your post, it looks like you are configuring using the dual server configuration. Is this the case?

yes this is for the dual server setup. I will try the above after the day-o-meetings and let you all know if it works. Thanks for your responses!

Hi,

In my case I had to delete the encryption key via the 'Reporting Services Configuration Manager', 'Encryption keys', 'Delete', 'Change'.

Thanks,

I've been fooling around with this thing all day.. finally setting the Database Connection to valid Windows credentials followed by deleting the encryption keys worked for me too!

I have been struggling with this error for a while now and hope that someone will be able to help.

I am installing on a new machine, with a new and clean install of Server 2003 SP2.

I did exactly what is described in the latest version of the guide to TFS installation (using the answer files where possible).

There is no SSL certificate installed, and the SecureConnectionLevel value in the RsReportServer.config file is 0 not 2.

The credentials type (database setup in reporting services) is windows credentials and the user is the TFSSetup user I created (which is a local admin and a domain user).

I have deleted and changed the encryption keys (more than once).

All latest critical updates are installed according to the MS Update site.

When I navigate to the Reporting Services site with either localhost, the server IP address, or 127.0.0.1 in IE it works fine and all of these are trusted locations in IE (just in case this makes a difference)

It is the release version of TFS I am attempting to install and it is not the workgroup version.

If it isn't asked for in the TFS install guide, or a part of a critical update from the site, it isn't installed or done on the server! No other software, server roles, users, antivirus, firewalls (not even Windows), nothing - its fresh and clean Smile (Excepting I've turned on remote connections so that I can remote desktop in - plain old windows remote desktop though).

It's a good old fashioned real computer with knobs (well, buttons), not a VM.

Like others - I get to nearly the end & then this error pops up and ruins my day (and doesn't do a lot for my girlfriends either).

I'm a developer not an admin, and I feel like I'm breaking my head on a slab of particularly impermeable concrete!

Any help would be very, very, appreciated.
