With the June CTP comes the Surface Area Configuration tool. Launch the
tool and makes sure that remote connections are enabled for your SQL

are off after initial install.

| Windows 2003 Enterprise SP1, Sql Server 2005 June CTP.
| I created a report on data from another server. I can run the report just
| fine on the server with Reporting Services.
| When I try to run the report from my computer I get the cannot create
| connection error. I have full rights to the server and sa privilages to
SQL
| Server on the RS server and the remote server on which the data is
located.
| I have checked with the Network administrator and kerberos is enabled.
| I really need to get this working and prove to management that RS will do
| all we need in the way of a reporting tool.
| Your help will be apprecited.
