I receive the following error when I go to http://<server>/reports for SSRS
2005.

Access to the temp directory is denied. Identity 'CASINO\MichaelP' under
which XmlSerializer is running does not have sufficient permission to access
the temp directory. CodeDom will use the user account the process is using
to do the compilation, so if the user doesnt have access to system temp
directory, you will not be able to compile. Use Path.GetTempPath() API to
find out the temp directory location.

This issue seemed to go away when full access was given to the 'Everyone'
group on C:\Windows\Temp. I want to avoid giving the 'Everyone' group full
access to the Server's Temp directory. Any ideas?

Anyone experience this? I just installed the component Integration Services
and re-applied SP2. Still have the same error when I access
http://<servername>/reports unless I add the 'Everyone' group to
C:\Windows\Temp with full access.

Michael,

The error is caused by the web service identity account not having read
write (modify) permissions to the temp directory that is used by the
reporting service. For example, grant network service modify permissions to
c:\windows\temp
