Anonymous access...

I want my report be accessible for everybody. So i enable anonymous access
(IUSR_MACHINE) on the virtual site ReportServer.
On my report, i allow IUSR_MACHINE the Browser Role.
Administrators have all Role on my report.
When i want to acces to the admin page (http://localhost/Reports), I have a
window authentification (like I want), I put my Admin login and pass but I
have not the Administrators rigth. I can only see what the IUSR_MACHINE as
right.
When I disable anonymous acces on ReportServer, I can see everything.
Can you help me 'Karine,
The Report Server itself does not authenticate the user. Instead, it obtains
the user identity from IIS. When Anonymous is enabled, all requests to the
Report Server will come in under the IUSR_<computer name> account or
whatever account you use for Anonymous access. Therefore, the Report Server
cannot differentiate the users.
Since you will need to manage the Report Server you will need to elevate
IUSR permissions in RS or assign it to a Windows group which has management
rights. Both approaches are equally bad from security standpoint and a sure
invitation for a security hack. Besides, Anonymous access is not officially
supported.

Analysis Services will not start after failover

On Thursday, everything was fine. On Friday my second virtual instance
of SQL Server was now on Node 2 for some reason. I tried to move it
back to Node 1 and it failed and continued to go back to Node 2. I
looked for errors in the SQL Error log and the system error logs and no
information why the system failed in the first place.
Now I was able to get the second instance of SQL Server back over to
Node 1 but the Analysis Services and the MSOlap resources along with
one additional resource will not come back on either Node.
When Analysis Services was first installed on the cluster (yes I know
it isn't cluster aware), I failed over the node and Analysis Services
worked fine.
Anyone have any ideas? Luckily this is the test system, but until I
get this figured out, I won't even think about production.
If you have absolutely no errors, then you'll have to open a support case
with PSS. I couldn't even begin to guess what might be wrong without an
error message to point to something
