CRM installation-SQL Reporting Services Error: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized

Hi all,
CRM installation- SQL Server Reporting Services Error:
While installing CRM server Microsoft CRM setup -->In System Requirements window shows Error under SQL SERVER REPORTING SERVICES as
"Could not connect to http://sqlserver%3e/ReportServer The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized .."

i tried many ways giving permissions to the Reportserver..
It works well in other system in the network when accessed..
But CRM setup says there was some error in SQLReporting Services as Above..
Finally i re-configured my Reporting Services .
I have provided the screen shots below

Earlier.....

In Windows Service Identity i used Windows Service account with a domain user account.
eg: rndsol\crmadmin
now i configured to LocalSystem

(note: i have logged in as Crmadmin in SQLserver: it is a admin user account created for insatalling CRMserver, have access to login to CRM, SQL, Exchange Servers)

In Web Service Identity -> ASP.NET service Account is changed to NT Authority\System..

For this u go to IIS Manager and select Website properties->Directory Service->select EDIT under Authentication and access and in Authentication Methods dialog box select Integrated Windows Authentication option.

If u find anything wrong or any other solution please

post me to gsmkannan@gmail.com or to my blog..

Thats it..

Thanks all... EnJoY

Installing CRM4.0 components:without internet connection for Server.

Hi all,

When u r installing CRM4.0, it ll search for the installed PreRequisites if not installed it ll download it from Internet...

so u should have Internet connection for installing CRM server..

They are:

1.Microsoft Soft Application Error reporting 11.0... (can download it separately)

2.Microsoft Visual C++ runtime 8.0.2.. download link (http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/5/0/65065cf4-4441-4e05-89d8-441ca3b9c946/vcredist_x86.exe)

3.Microsoft Sql Reporting service Report Viewer 2.0.5... (http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/8/d/98d5fe84-60ad-4d40-bc25-5f60b9f21a11/ReportViewer.exe)

4.Sql native Client 9.0.2

5.Microsoft XML (MSXML 6) core service...(http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/e/0/2e01308a-e17f-4bf9-bf48-161356cf9c81/msxml6.msi)

6.Microsoft ADAM(Active Directory Application Mode) (http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/6/0/f606cd0b-20ba-459e-b4c2-cfd093dcbf6f/ADAMSP1_x86_English.exe)

u can download this files separately and install in ur server...

it ll find the installed files.. but when it comes for MS Visual C++ Runtime.. it ll say Download Failed.. Even the file is installed....

(IF u r not having a net connection u can copy the setup file of VCREDISTx_86.exe and create a folder inside\VCREDIST\VcRedistx_86.exe..)

the installer will search for installation directory for the setup file before connecting to the internet..

Happy Installation

SO without internet connection for the Server u can install all pre-requisites
