CAUSE

The problem occurs because the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 is installed. Microsoft CRM 3.0 is incompatible with the .NET Framework 2.0. Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services does not support using the .NET Framework 2.0 in the virtual folders that Microsoft CRM uses.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, change the version of the .NET Framework that Microsoft CRM and Reporting Services use. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
  2. Change the version of the .NET Framework that Microsoft CRM uses:
    1. In IIS Manager, expand the node of the Microsoft CRM server, expand Web Sites, right-click Microsoft CRM v3.0, and then click Properties.
    2. In the Microsoft CRM v3.0 Properties dialog box, click the ASP.NET tab.
    3. In the ASP.NET Version list, click 1.1.4322.
    4. Click OK.
  3. Change the version of the .NET Framework that Reporting Services uses:
    1. In IIS Manager, locate the Reports virtual folder and the ReportServer virtual folder.

      Note These folders are on the default Web site of the server. Reporting Services is installed on the server.
    2. Right-click Reports, and then click Properties.
    3. In the Reports Properties dialog box, click the ASP.NET tab.
    4. In the ASP.NET Version list, click 1.1.4322.
    5. Click OK.
    6. Right-click ReportServer, and then click Properties.
    7. In the ReportServer Properties dialog box, click the ASP.NET tab.
    8. In the ASP.NET Version list, click 1.4322.
    9. Click OK.
  4. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
  5. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

    C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis.exe -r

  6. After the process is completed, type iisreset, and then press ENTER.
