Failed to access IIS metabase?

Please help!

All of sudden, I cannot connect to the reporting services through MS SQL Server management studio. error message is "Failed to access IIS metabase".

As I checked the system:

1. reporting services is working properly (status is "started")

2. cannot access http://localhost/ReportServer$SQL2005 , the same error

3. Run:"C:\>cscript metaacl.vbs IIS://localhost/w3svc", it shows:

Are you able to access http://localhost/reportserver from IE? Are you able to access any web pages from IE?|||

Thank you for your reply.

The first answer is no, I cannot access http://localhost/reportserver from IE(The instance of SQL server 2005 is "SQL2005".)

The second answer is yes, I can access IIS' default web page and the other web pages.

I think you need to figure out what are the required ACLs. Maybe you can start by giving everybody full access. If that works start reducing the permissions.

BTW, I thought the error message would give you more details about what ACLs are missing, but I could be wrong.

|||One more thing, if you uninstalled IIS, you may run into some problem when you try to uninstall RS later on: http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/viewfeedback.aspx?feedbackid=735b5260-f6bf-4ea5-94b2-6c41ae387a9a
