Setting up SSRS. For Service Account,

  1. I set a domain account as the Report Server Service Account.
  2. click apply
  3. SQL Server Connection Dialog pops up. Need to specify an account with admin privileges.
    • set Credentials Type = SQL Server Account
    • I use sa account (which works, verified many ways with sql server management studio)

I fails with the following:

System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot start service ReportServer on computer 'DEVDB5'. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The service did not start due to a logon failure --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.Start(String[] args) at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.Start() at ReportServicesConfigUI.Panels.WindowsServiceIdentityPanel.StartWindowsServicePostChangeWindowsServiceIdentity(ServiceController rsService)

What am I doing wrong.

btw: it was working fine as of yesterday. I originally set up SSRS a few days ago using the sa account
