Windows 2003 (latest serv pack)
SQL 2005 Standard Full Release (Not beta)
I'm logged in as Administrator accessing on local machine the report manager.

I am having problems getting past this error. I've tried everything possible
to reconfigure in the Report Service Configuration. Everything looks good and
then I go to access the Report Manager "http://localhost/reports" and get the
following error.

"Unable to connect to the remote server"

The only observation is I notice on a XP Professional machine install RS
2005, and got to the report manager without being pormpt to login, but on the
server it does and I've tried administrator access.

Help help would be greatly appreciated..

I'm not sure if this is your problem or not, but we had the issue where
it asked you to login when accessing RM. This was solved by going to
Internet Options| Security | Intranet | Custom | Logon
set to "Automatic logon with current username & password"
we also set the Internet level to match.

This had to be done for every user (which we did through a group policy
in the end).

Another point you might want to try is to log on to the server as a
LOCAL administrator. It wasn't clear whether you are Administrator at
domain level or machine level.

But if your RS configuration screen says everything is OK then it
should be OK.
