^_^,Pretty Good!
This is not a solution!!!!!!! This how to prevent to having this problem.
For now, I do have this problem and the question remains: How do I solve it? I can't go back to the privious account because some stupid ass did setup a new domain.
the report server cannot decrypt
Go to command prompt.
rskeymgmt -d on server.
In browser http:\localhost\reports
Resetup Windows Service Identity
This will work. I also faced same problem.
Follow below steps:
go to the directory:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Reporting
Services\ReportServer\
or the equivalent program path on your computer and type
rsactivate -r -c RSReportServer.config
if rsactivate is not in your path (which it should be after an install) you will find it in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn
or whatever path is the equivalent on your machine
Go to the Reporting Service Configuration Tool
Click Encryption Keys
Click the Delete Button
Awesome, deleting the key worked perfectly! It's not like I have any sensitive info on my report server anyway.
Thank God, I was going crazy trying to fix this. Deleting the key works perfectly (had to recreate my Data Sources, but man, that is an infitely simple solution)
Thanks!
Thank you for this (deleting the key), without that advice I would have been in big trouble.
Usually, I don't leave comments...but dude to post such a simple solution deserves applause!
Thanks a lot! Einstein
