Thank you very much for at least responding.
I understand newsgroup netiquette but I have posted to the reporting
services newsgroup several times without any responses with RS-specific
questions. The problems I am having with RS also seemed to carry over to
the SQL Server SAC tool and SSMS. I thought that maybe the root of the
problem was NOT RS but something to do with Windows Integrated Security as
configured within SQL Server. I cannot understand why when I sign on to a
server as Administrator, with Windows Integrated Security options set in RS,
why I cannot even connect to RS using SSMS.
I am grasping at straws here because I'm dead in the water. I thought about
calling MS for $500 but I've been there before and it often takes a month
going through multiple layers of folks who follow a script and, in the
beginning level of calls, don't know any more than me (and think you can
reboot a production computer at-will during peak times, and when you
reconfigure RS it resets IIS).

Yes. My frustration is that I configured my dev server to do all of this in
less than a minute, so I can't even debug the problem because I cannot
recreate the same environment apparently.

With SAC, I tried almost every permutation and quickly found that if I did
NOT configure for SSL with RS I received a HTTP 403 error (ssl required).
What I cannot recreate is the HTTP 401 error I get on the production
machine.

Hi
If you have a system that is supposed to be the same and it works, then
there must be some difference as why it works. What are the SQL server
versions/service packs etc What is the operating system and differences? Are
there group policies? Are there network differences e.g. firewalls, domains
etc. ?
You mentioned that you can not connect to a specific host, if you can use
the same client to connect to a similarly configured host it would rule out
the client.
