Connection to Oracle in Reporting Services won’t work after sp3 and cu1

Last night I installed sp3 and cu1 on a 64 bit SQL 2005 failover cluster. Everything went well. Reporting services is installed on the primary node. It now cannot connect to Oracle. The initial errors seemed to be related to this: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;870668 I granted network service access, but that didn’t change anything. I then made it like development (which is working fine, unfortunately), which meant adding authenticated users to the bin and adminnetwork folders. This [...]

If we install SQL Server Reporting Services in the MOSS box, in Sharepoint Integrated Mode, does it require another license, or it only counts the Database Server (in the SQL box)? Yes it does.

Optimal SQL Server Reporting Services setup

I’d like to determine an optimal setup for SQL Server Reporting Services to use as the integrated reporting tool for SaaS web-based applications. All reports are pre-defined, so users pick a report and enter some parameters in a web-based front end. Parameters are then passed to the report, which pulls the data, formats the results, and returns a PDF or Excel file to the web application. While we have existing SQL Servers supporting our web [...]
