Unable to Start Report Server Windows Service

sql server reporting services:

For some reason I am unable to start RS Windows service. Here are the
details of Exception that I get -

****************************
System.ServiceProcess.TimeoutException: Time out has expired and the
operation has not been completed.
at
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceControoler.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus
desiredStatus, TimeSpan timeout)
at
ReportServicesConfigUI.Panels.ServerInformationPanel.StartStopServiceTask(boolean
start)
****************************

I found a message in this newsgroup where another user had the exact same
problem. The solution for that user's problem was to modify the
rsreportserver.config file to <WebServiceIdentity>NT
Authority\System</WebServiceIdentity>.

My rsreportserver.config file is already set to this setting, I did not have
to modify it.

Does anyone have any other thoughts on how I can resolve this problem?

Thanks!

I have the same kind of error but if I look in my application log then
I find that the error is due to users rights. In my case I have SQL
Server 2005 installed on a windows 2000 server and when trying to start
the RS I get the following error:
"Service cannot be started.
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.UnknownUserNameException:
The user or group name 'SERVEUR\ASPNET' is not recognized."

Something must be wrong with the user aspnet but I am still looking for
an answer.

I've seen this issue on quite a few message boards. With that being said, I
am sharing the solution that worked for me.

I simply installed SQL SERVER 2005 SP1 and re-booted the server. I opened
the reporting services configuration
tool and and reporting services was already running (keep in mind that I had
previously configured all of the other settings when I could not start
reporting services).

I hope this helps!
