Hi

I am trying to create a scale-out deployment of Reporting Services
2005 on a NLB cluster web farm by following the instructions in:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159114.aspx

However, when I install and configure Reporting Services on the second
node, and then go back to the first node to join the second node to
the scale-out deployment (as described in step 11 under 'To install
and configure the second report server instance"), I get the following
exception:

ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.WMIProviderException: An unexpected
error has occurred. Details:

The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA) ---
> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800706BA): The RPC
server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)
   at

errorCode, IntPtr errorInfo)
   at System.Management.ManagementScope.InitializeGuts(Object o)

ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSInstances.GetInstances(String
machineName)

   at
ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSInstances.GetInstances(String

   at
ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSInstances.GetInstance(String
machineName, String instanceName)
   at
ReportServicesConfigUI.Panels.ClusterManagementPanel.ConfigureWebFarm(Object
sender, RSReportServerInfo[] rsInfos)

I have spent hours searching for ideas, but so far no success. I have
also tried the following:

1. Enabling DTC access
2. Ensuring RPC service is running on both web and db servers
3. Installing WMI Windows Installer Provider
4. Granting admin rights on both db and web servers to the account
under which Reporting Services is running

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It looks like
this should be a straight-forward task.

Thank you.

You might want to make sure that the DCOM service is running as well.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your suggestion.

I have verified that the DCOM Process Launcher service is running
(it's set to automatic startup), if that is what you meant. But still
no success.

Hopefully, someone will come up with a solution soon. Our NLB set up
looks pretty standard to me, so there must be other people who ara
experiencing the same problem, unless not many deploy Reporting
Services in web farms.

It would be nice a Reporting Services guru from MSFT, who is
monitoring this newsgroup chimed in on the subject ;-)

You will not find any Microsoft guru hanging out here. If you have MSDN you 
can submit a managed newsgroup posting and a MS employee will get back to 
you in two business days max. Otherwise, you are better off posting in the 
web forums. That is where most of the MS people hang out.
