Thanks for the reply. I have installed the ACS and have enabled the ACS on the server that I wanted to. Is that it?

I am facing problems when running reports
An error occurred during client rendering. An error has occurred during report processing. Cannot create a connection to data source 'dataSource1'.

If you look at the datasource, go to the sql report web http://servername/reports, and look at the properties of datasource1, under Audit Reports, does it look correct?Anders Bengtsson | Microsoft MVP - Operations Manager | http://www.contoso.se

I have uninstalled everything. I am doing it all over again. All the blogs mention how to upload the reports with default instance, not a single blog mentions it how you would do it with the named instance?Looked at one of the seurevantage videos and figured out the right command? I am yet to test it, but I will let you know.

I also Got Cannot create a connection to data source 'dataSource1'.
This happened when i ran IE as a user and connecter to the report server via
http://server/Reports
As The SQL admin account i used to setup ACS i Could Run reports fine!
In my case heres what i did to fix it.
open IE as the account you used to install ACS in my case SQLADMACC (if using Server 2008 log in as the SQL ADM Account and run IE as Administrator or you wont see properties)
go to http://Server/Reports
click Audit Reports
Click show details
Click DB Audit
Select oCredentials stored securely in the report server
enter the SQL admin username & Password
Tick Use as Windows credentials when connecting to the data source
click APPLY
Hope this helps someone out there! i had a right pain finding this and wasted at least 4 hours thrawling forums. Realistically Microsoft should have a better step by step on configuring acs.
i followed the install guide which never mentioned importing reports!!!! :-( ... that i had to find on another forum.
I then had to google on how to give access to the reports
Then i had to figure this bit out
cheerio fellow Admins
