Installing Web Server and Database Server not in the same DOMAIN
I'm installing the RS using the "Standard Deployment Model" suggested
by BOL, which uses one Web Server as the Report Server and the Report
Manager and another as the Report Server Database.
According to BOL:
"The SQL Server instance hosting the report server database must be in
the same domain as the report server or in a trusted domain with the
report server."
Although, in my case, these two machines are not in the same domain,
neither could be. Is there any workaround for it'
It's quite urgent because while I was testing RS in DEV, wich has just
one machine, everything was fine, but now that I'm deploying RS to
Production, I realized that I don't have both Prd machines on the same
domain.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance,
Vinicius BellinoThe workaround is laid out right there -- create a domain trust.

and then one for SQL Server. My feeling is to have SQL Server on the web
server even if it is just as the object store (i.e. the data being reported
off of is somewhere else). SQL Server is very good at managing it's
resources and I have had no problem doing this.

Bruce,
I've thought about installing SQL Server in my Web Server as well, but
the only point was the supposed new SQL Server's license. Now I have
no more reasons not to do this. So, thank you!

Installing SSL on SQL Server 2000
Hello Kevin,
I've have installed an Enterprise Root CA on the domain, and I went through
the web form to request and install a new certificate. I installed both an
Administrator certificate and a Web Server certificate, but when I choose
to Force Encryption from the Server Network Utility, I get an error message
when I try restarting SQL Server.
The message says something to the effect that encryption is being
requested, but a valid certificate does not exist. I can see the
certificate in the Personal folder, so I'm not sure why I'm getting the
error message.
Can you help?
Thanks,
Jason
--
We use exactly the same certificate that IIS would use to setup a SSL
session. The new error message above indicates that the SQL Server service
account is not finding the certificate. So, look at the account that is
starting the MSSQLServer service. If the service is started using a domain
user account, and the certificate was requested by a local admin, then the
service will not be able to find the certificate.
Thanks,

The MSSQLServer service is running under a domain user
account. The account that I used to request the
certificate was a domain admin account. Do I need to
therefore request another certificate while I'm logged in
as the user running the MSSQLServer service? Also, which
template should I use when requesting the certificate,
Administrator or Web Server?
Thanks,
Jason

I removed the original certificates that I created as the
domain admin account, and went back and logged in as the
account that's running SQL Server. I then requested a new
Web Server certificate, installed it, and selected the
option to Force Protocol Encryption. When I stopped and
restarted SQL Server, everything appears to be running
smoothly.
Thanks for your help in getting me going in the right
direction!

I have the same problem with Jason, but I have

A fatal error occurred when attempting to access the SSL

This error indicates the following.
- NTE_BAD_KEYSET (0x80090016)
- Key container does not exist.
- You do not have access to the key container.
- The Protected Storage Service is not running.
Since you're attempting to set this up in a workgroup, you'll need to have

You'll need to follow the steps in this kb article:
276553 HOW TO: Enable SSL Encryption for SQL Server 2000 with Certificate

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=276553
After installing the certificate on the server you should be able to view
the certificate by using MMC snapin for certificates or by looking at the
properties of IE, under Content, Certificates. From here, you should be
able to verify that your certificate is valid.

Installing SQL server on a domain controller?
I'm currently working on my MCDBA and I happen to be using the Microsoft
Press edition. The book states the server that you plan to intall SQL server
should be configured as a domain controller. From reading and listening to
outside experts, I've always thought that the server should be configured as
just a member server. Can someone clear this up for me?
That's an old copy you are reading. DO NOT INSTALL ON A DOMAIN CONTROLLER.
A Domain Controller has too much network traffic to compete with a SQL Server
installation. You will reduce the responsiveness of both. Moreover, what
makes a DBMS efficient is the exclusive use of large memory. This makes a
DBMS system unusfull as any other cohosted application system. The power of
distributed computing is the dedication of function accross multiple servers.
Each server should be dedicated to a SINGLE role, or function.
Lastly, this is a huge potential security issue. A SQL Server installation,
of necessity, controls most of the resources on the server it is installed
on. If this is a domain controller, this means the security database. If
this installation was compromised, this would mean your entire network would
be also.
Sincerely,
Anthony Thomas

Integraged to Sharepoint mode, credential problems
windows trusted accounts, (using domain Active Directory logins, but not
Kerberos).
While writing my report, I designed the data set to use windows
authentication (instead of a SQL Server authentication).
From the Report Designer,(report runs fine) the deploy repeatedly asks for
Reporting Services login and won't accept any account credentials at all.
I can upload the report using Sharepoint but when I run the report I get
this error message: "An error has occurred during report processing. This
data source is configured to use Windows integrated securi6ty. Windows
integrated security is either disabled for this report server or your report
server is using Trusted account mode."
Thanks for any assistance,
ShirleyIf using the MOSS 2007 (Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server) , check that the
settings in the Reporting Services Managemnet section for security is set to
Windows Integrated and not Trusted.

Installing SQL Express 2K5 on a domain controller?
hi,
please have a look at http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/1/0/f10c4f60-630e-4153-bd53-c3010e4c513b/ReadmeSQLEXP2005.htm, paragraph 3.10

Thanks for the link, however that is the reason for the post. Paragrph 3.10 states "
3.10 Installing SQL Server Express on a Windows Domain Controller
It is possible to install SQL Server Express on a Windows domain controller; however, it cannot run on a Windows Server 2003 domain controller as Local Service or Network Service. SQL Server service accounts should run as Windows domain user accounts. It is also possible to install SQL Server service accounts to run as Local System, but this option is not recommended."
I just need to know how to get SQLExpress to install without trying to create local accounts and use a specific network user account. Again thanks for your time and effort.

2. Log on as service
Make sure in the services :Remote registry service is up|||Privlages are good and remote registry service is running !|||Did you manage to resolve this issue? Did you get any USEFULL help from Microsoft support? Please post a few words of wisdom if so.
We have exactly the same problem and I've been struggling with it for a few weeks. Any help/advice is welcome.
I use SQL 2000 EE SP3 install (i.e with SP3 already included in installation) and still get the same error: "cluster-specific registry could not be written". All the simptoms are the same. I can install single-node virtual server, but if I try to install on both-nodes I've got mentioned message. The same happens if I try add second node to successfully installed single-node virtual server.|||My issue ended up being security on the cluster was to tight.
Once I loosened my security policies it started working fine.
Specifically the registry was being locked down by a Windows 2000 DC which does'nt have all the proper setting that Windows 2003 has.
I eventually upgraded the DC to 2003 to help with this matter.
