SYMPTOMS

When you try to deploy a report by using Report Designer on a remote computer that is running Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services, you may not be able to deploy the report successfully. You may notice that the Reporting Services Login dialog box that prompts the user to enter the connection credentials appears repeatedly. This behavior occurs even if you provide a valid user name and password for authentication. This problem may occur if all the following conditions are true:
  • You have logged in as a local Windows user on the computer from where you are deploying the report to a remote computer.
  • The user name that you specified in the Reporting Services Login dialog box to connect to the remote computer is qualified with the domain name. For example, the user name that was specified is ReportsServer\ReportsUser.
