Trying to Install TFS 2010 - SQL Server Reporting Services Problem - reporting-services

Hoping someone here can help. Trying to install SQL Server Reporting Services to use for TFS 2010 and i'm having issues. I'm going directly from the TFS Install Guide. At first i had issues getting report services working so i decided just to completely uninstall SQL Server and reinstall.
When i try to connect to:
http://MyServer:80/Reports i get the follwing error:
User 'MyServer/Admin' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.
When i try to connect to http://MyServer/ReportServer i get the following error:
The permissions granted to user 'MyServer\Admin' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)
Except for the error message the rest of the page is pretty much blank.
Every time i try to connect to either i get a login dialg and i type in the username/password for the machine admin/sql server sysadmin.
Trying to google you see all kinds of people having the issue and every person seems the have a unique solution that doesn't work. For example. I've tried to run IE in admin privileges and it doesn't help.
I even tried to run the report service process under the adminstrator just to see if that would help and no luck.
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 Enterprise
DB: Sql Server 2008 R2 x64 Enterprise

When you are prompted to login are what credentials are you using? Can you try logging in w/ an account that has administrator privileges on the machine?
Should be:
Username: DOMAIN\USER
Password: Password

Can't connect to the SQL Server while using Microsoft authentication in Windows 10

I am using Windows 10 on my laptop. I have an Azure account and I use to login to my computer. I have installed SQL Server and Management Studio under this Azure account. So I can login to SQL Server with Management Studio anytime and I don't have any problem with that.
Now I have created another account on my computer with Microsoft Email ID. I can login with this hotmail email Id to the computer. But this time I can't login to SQL Server with Management Studio.
I get this error:
Can anyone tell me how I can login to SQL Server while using the Microsoft account?
there is a default login for SQL Server with a UN = "sa" and its password usually is set while installation. try to figure out that and you may be able to connect.

BizTalk 2010 Configuration Failure

I've two 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2 machines. On one of the machines BizTalk Server 2010 Standard Edition is installed & on the other SQL Server 2008 R2 is installed.
When I use the 'BizTalk Server Configuration' on the BizTalk machine to create the necessary databases on the SQL Server machine, just the 'SSODB' gets created & then the configuration fails due to below errors
Failed to create the SQL database 'SSODB' on SQL Server 'SQLServerName' (with SSO Administrator account 'SSO Administrators').
(0xC0002A21) An error occurred while attempting to access the SSO database.
Could not find the account name 'SSO Administrators' on computer 'SQLServerName'. Configuration can proceed, but it might fail.
(0x800706BA) The RPC server is unavailable.
A few sites suggested to register both the 32-bit & 64-bit SSOSQL.dll using the regasm command to resolve this issue & I did the same. But, the issue still persists.
What is a solution for this?
Create "Domain user accounts/user groups" before configuring and use those instead of the local user accounts/user groups. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa577661(v=BTS.70).aspx)
Add the domain user account as sys-admin on the Sql server.
Most likely the above 2 steps will help you resolve this issue.

Connect to sql server 2008 using Microsoft Server Management Studio

I have difficulties connecting to my MS SQL Server and I can't find tutorial or answer how to do this, even though I think this should be something pretty standard.
My current setup is this - I have freshly new Installed Visual Studio 2010 and followed Beth Massi's article Step-by-Step: Installing SQL Server Management Studio 2008 Express after Visual Studio 2010 : http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bethmassi/archive/2011/02/18/step-by-step-installing-sql-server-management-studio-2008-express-after-visual-studio-2010.aspx
But I'm not able to connect to a SQL Server. In my Configuration Tools\SQL Server Configuration Manager I see this when I open it :
I set to Enable all TCP\IP and Named Pipes (Just saw that this may be a problem) and in the properties of the SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) from Services I see this:
I also see in the Log On tab this :
some sort of password (not entered by me) it seems to be something default, but since I'm not sure where the problem is I try to show everything I think may have something to do with solving my problem.
At the end I tried different options to connect to my SQL Server form the Management Studio I ended up with this:
As you see I get an error (included in order to be able to read it). I read the the machine name may be required so my User Account name is Xman and my machine's name is Xman-PC. Eveh though my printscreen image is not from this try I made an attempt to connect to the Server with XMAN-PC\SQLEXPRESS but again - no success.\
Could you point me to a good tutorial on how to connect to a MS SQL Server (I can't believe there's nothing that explains in simple steps what you need to do to connect to a server) or could you tell me how to set-up my configurations so I actually can start to work with databases?
P.S
Forgot to mention in Command Prompyt - sqlcmd command also returns error - Could not open SQL connection.
P.S
Finally I managed to connect using Windows Authentication and (local)\sqlexpress for ServerName. Which at least means that everything is working. But now even more I would like to know how to connect using SQL Server Authentication. It must be something default as it was for Windows Authentication?!
Looks like you've done the hard work - last step will be turning on SQL Server Authentication.
Since you installed with the default values, only Windows Authentication is allowed; you need to set it to SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode. You can do this through Management Studio through the instance Properties -> Security.
See this link for full details: Change Server Authentication Mode.

I can connect to my database using SQL Server 2005 but not SQL Server 2008 Management Studio

I was able to connect to my database engine using SQL Server 2005 Management Studio, but now I cannot connect using the newer 2008 version.
Has anyone experienced the same problems? Is there a small feature to turn on that I am missing somewhere? Thank you in advance.
Given that you do not provide any usefull informations, like error message, how you tried to connect (windows authentication/sql authentication), .... that's hard to come up with the solution.....
1) try to run SSMS as admin... if you can connect, then grant specific user with proper access
2) if you try to connect via TCIP/IP, try to run SQL Server Configuration Manager to enable TCP/IP protocol
3) if you need sql authentication, change the authentication on the server's properties.

IIS7 Connection to SQL 2008 not working

Having trouble getting my local IIS7 running C # MVC app to connect to a newly installed Sql 2008. IT was working wiht SQL Express, but we upgraded every machine to full SQL. Now, just my machine, will not connect to SQL 2008.
Followed many websites info, fooled wiht the user account both in IIS7 and SQL2008. Setting permissions to the DB's with db_owner(actually selected every permission) just not connecting.
I noticed the w3wp.exe service is not running. Not sure if that is the issue or if it was even running before.
Messed with the and tried all the sugeestions and tutorials out there that had to do with
Application pools are running, their set to the proper settings
IIs Account NetorkServices
Sql NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE
created users for IIS APPPOOL\ASP.NET v4.0
When i check the sql logs there is no sign of it even trying to connect. The only message i get is when i restart IIs. Just says starting and stopping.
Been thru this before when i first tried to connect to SQL express, and was not this hard, and i did not touch anything in IIs when i installed sql 2008. So it should have connected.
Any other suggestions out there?
LLBL DataAccessAdapter should have string property ConnectionStringKeyName which contains app settings key (in web.config), which contains connection string. Visual studio does not use that connection string and you being able to connect to db from VS does not mean that connection string your application uses is valid.
Indirectly you lead me to the solution. lol
Started searching on running IIs and Sql 2008 on the same machine.
Running on a Win7 64bit, IIS7 an sql2008 R2.
Long story short, after hours and hours of fighting with IIS and SQL.
IIS7 --> Application Pools --> Select your pool --> Advanced settings --> General tab --> Enable 32-bit Applications set to true.
How it got to false, or why sqlexpress worked and sql2008 did not, not sure. But this fixed the issue.
