Error accessing http://(server)/Reports - The remote name could not be resolved: 'administr
We're having a problem accessing the report services home page, even when logged onto the the server and doing it from localhost. When we hit
There's an error page that comes back and says "The remote name could not be resolved: 'administrator'" (with lower case administrator).
When we go to anything underhttp://localhost/ReportServer, it works OK.
The TFS server has been running for a couple of weeks now, but we haven't done much with the reporting yet, and just noticed this problem. (On a test TFS server, it works OK).
I ran the the "Reporting Services Configuration Manager", and it didn't have any errors. It had warnings next to "Email settings" and "Execution Agent", so I setup the e-mail, and used the TFSREPORTS domain user for the Execution agent. That didn't resolve the issue.
On the production server, I did have an SSL certificate setup originally and had installed Reporting Services to use it, which caused the TFS installer some grief. I fixed it by following these instructions though -http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/teamsystem/tfsreadme.aspx - 2.17 Installation fails when the default Web site is configured to require a secure channel (SSL), with error code: 28804 or 28805.
I ran FileMon to see what was going on, and saw a log it was writing to, but not any other smoking guns. Opening that log file, I see entries that look like this:
w3wp!ui!1!9/28/2006-12:17:03:: e ERROR: The remote name could not be resolved: 'administrator'
w3wp!ui!1!9/28/2006-12:17:03:: e ERROR: HTTP status code --> 500

I don't know why its trying "administrator" for anything.
I checked the IIS site, and it seems configured fine (using the ReportServer App Pool which uses Network Service, for example).
I saw another post for a different problem mention checking TFSWarehouse.dbo._WarehouseConfig, and making sure DataReaderAccount is set correctly, and it is.
Any other ideas about what the problem might be or how to fix it?
Thanks,
