Similar problem, be interested in your advice on this:
Ive got the September CTP, sittind there working very nicely. I've also
got Reporting Services intalled, and that was working fine untill I
started changing the account it runs under. This has caused all sorts
of problems. I think I need to reinstall Reporting Services. Is there
any way to just reintall RS, or do I have to uninstall all of SQL?
