ASP.Net service account gray out

I am installing RS2005 on Windows server 2000 with IIS 5.0. Everything is fine in configuration tool except service account. It is empty. I have added ASPNET account in reportservice user group and tried to add <machinename>\ASPNET to <WebServiceAccount>. It is still empty. Any idea?

Thanks.

Hello,

I believe this is pulled from the Identity of your application pool. Go to IIS and set the identity there and it should be reflected in the RS Configuration Manager.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

It seems that application pool is only for IIS6.0. I am using IIS5.0. How can I set the identity in this case

thanks

|||Therer's no direct way (from RS tools at least) to set IIS5 app pool identities. In fact, there's no way in IIS to set IIS5 app pool identities. I've heard that you can modify a .config file and change the IIS5 app pool identity, but I've not tried this myself.|||Yes, I have changed <WebServiceAccount> tag in RSReportServer.config but it doesn't work. I think Jarret is right. The identity is from somewhere in IIS setting.

I also installed report service in XP pro. I don't need to set anything to let it work. I am not sure if there is something special in Windows 2000 Server.

Has anyone installed Report service 2005 on Windows 2000 server successfully? Please give comment. I appreciate it.
