No reports shown in the report area

Question

Hello,
We have CRM 3.0, SQL 2005 DB engine and reporting engine installed on same Windows 2003 server (with SP2).
We are not able to view any CRM reports in the report area. Also it doesn't generates any error messages.
I am able to view reports using http://<servername>/reports and http://<servername>/reportserver
DefaultAppPool runs under the 'Network Service' account.
http://<servername>/reports has 'Publisher For CRM' role assigned to 'NT Authority\Network Service'.
Hence, I have ensured the troubleshooting point mentioned in the below article
http://www.microsoft.com/dynamics/crm/using/troubleshooting/tsrptsetup.mspx
Which are the other configurations where i need to look into?
Please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Ajay Chawla.

Hello,
Further to my investigations, I have re-published the CRM reports as explain in Chapter - 24 of CRM 3.0 Implementation guide.
Still, I can't view a list of CRM reports in the Report area.
Thanks & Regards,

BTW.. how did you deploy your reports? You cannot deploy the CRM reports from your Visual Studio directly. You have to deploy the reports by going to the report area, click New, and then upload the report.
To ensure the report will be displayed in the report area, you have to add "Reports area" in the "Displayed In" textbox under the Categorization.

Hello Jude,
I haven't used Visual Studio because these are the default CRM reports. I used publishReports.exe to re-publish reports.
Untill now, I haven't tried to create new report using New button.
When I tried to re-import existing report for example: Account Distribution.rdl using New button. It failed with below error.
-----------------------------------------Error Message----------------------------------------

Hello Imran,
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946585) This link is meant for CRM 4.0. We have CRM 3.0.
But I am sure that 'NT Authority\Network Service' account has db_owner & public roles on below listed databases.
<org_name>_MSCRM
<org_name>_METABASE
ReportServer
ReportServerTempDB
Additionally, the Network Service account has 'RSExecRole' role on ReportServer & ReportServerTempDB databases.
Also, I went thru the below article and adjusted the connection string but still no luck.

Any other ideas please.
Thanks & Regards,

Hello,
Further to my investigations, I discovered that crm server was renamed in the past.
Hence according to the CRM implementation guide, I performed below steps
1. Used sp_dropserver and sp_addserver procedures to change the server name
2. Renamed the user account IUSR_<old_hostname> to IUSR_<new_hostname>
3. Renamed the user account IWAM_<old_hostname> to IWAM_<new_hostname>
4. Used IIS Admin script (adsutil.vbs) to re-associate user accounts with IIS.
restarted the server.
But still, no luck..
Am I suppose to change other bits in IIS or SQL server DB engine or Reporting engine?
Thanks & Regards,
Ajay Chawla.
