SSRS: Execution cannot be found

Question

I've got a Windows SBS 2008 64 bit Box with SQL 2005 64bit on it. SQL itself runs amazingly well - nice and fast.

SSRS though is giving me headaches. I ran the install as normal, configured the windows service to run under its own account and the web service to run as NT Authority\Network Service.

When I try to run the reports though (through internet explorer) i get the following error:

Execution '' cannot be found.

Looking at the logs it tells me that the NT Authority\Network Service is not found in the database.

I've added the user to the database permissions but am running out of ideas of what else to try now.

I've been googling for two days but nothing concrete has come up. I know its not strictly programming related please dont downvote for that!

Answer 1

You will probably need to give the NT Authority\Network Service rights to the database.

Answer 2

Are you running a non-english Operation System?

For some reasons, the account name of "NT Authority\Network Service" has been localized in other languages.
Sadly, a lot of programs have the account name hard coded to the english name, and won't find the Network Service when running on foreign versions of Windows.
