This error occurs during a service restart if a connection to the report server database cannot be established. Conditions under which this error occurs include the following: - [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] [!INCLUDE[ssDE](../../includes/ssde-md.md)] service is not running when the Report Server service starts. - The connection to the [!INCLUDE[ssDE](../../includes/ssde-md.md)] service fails because remote connections or the TCP/IP protocol is not enabled. - The report server database is not configured correctly. - The service account is not configured correctly, or the account no longer has permissions on the report server database. This can occur if you do not use the [!INCLUDE[ssRSnoversion](../../includes/ssrsnoversion-md.md)] Configuration tool to set up the account or the report server database. ## User Action Start the [!INCLUDE[ssDE](../../includes/ssde-md.md)] service if it is not running and check that remote connections are enabled for TCP/IP protocol. Use the [!INCLUDE[ssRSnoversion](../../includes/ssrsnoversion-md.md)] Configuration tool to configure the report server database and service account. ## Internal-Only ## See Also [Configure the Report Server Service Account (SSRS Configuration Manager)](../../reporting-services/install-windows/configure-the-report-server-service-account-ssrs-configuration-manager.md) [Reporting Services Configuration Manager (Native Mode)](../../reporting-services/install-windows/reporting-services-configuration-manager-native-mode.md) [Start and Stop the Report Server Service](../../reporting-services/report-server/start-and-stop-the-report-server-service.md)
