Use the Reporting Services Configuration tool to configure a SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services installation. If you installed a report server using the files-only installation option, you must use this tool to configure the server so that it can be used. If you installed a report server in the default configuration installation option, you can use this tool to verify or modify the settings that were specified during setup. If you are upgrading from a previous version, you can use this tool to update the report server database to the new format.
Reporting Services Configuration can be used to configure a local or remote report server instance. You must have local system administrator permissions on the computer that hosts the report server you want to configure.
 Note: |

| The Reporting Services configuration tool uses icons to indicate whether settings are configured. It is possible to configure settings that are not valid. You should always test a Reporting Services installation to verify it works as expected. Visual indicators for configuration status are not a substitute for tests that verify a successful deployment. For more information about how to verify a deployment, see How to: Verify a Reporting Services Installation. |
