Installation - Surface Area Configuration Error

Hi,
I'm just installing Reporting Services from SQL Server 2005 and I'm
following this document:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143703.aspx
Installation went fine from what I can tell and now I'm in the second
section "Configure the Report Server and Create the Remote Database"
In step 3 it asks to verify that Windows integrated security is enabled in
the Surface Area Configuration tool. When I click on that object I get the
following error message:
Argument value was not passed for the argument reporting service URL.
(Microsoft.SqlSac.Public)
I did a Google search and came up with nothing at all so I'm not sure how to
proceed. Has anyone seen this error before and know how to correct it?
Thanks in advance,

If you haven't already, you will want to make sure that both the
Reports and ReportServer virtual directories have been created in IIS
(via: right-clicking My Computer >> select Manage >> Services and
Applications >> Internet Information Services >> Web Sites >> Default
Web Site). Hope this helps.

Hi Enrique,
I checked for the virtual directories as you suggested and they are there.
This is a test server and I happened to shut it down over night and when I
restarted it this morning I no longer have the problem. Must have just
needed a reboot, should have thought of that.
Now, on to the tutorials so I can figure out how to use this system. I have
found the Microsoft tutorials and will work through them but if anyone has
any other suggestions I'd love to hear them. Suggestions on how to learn to
use this system that is. ;-)
Thanks much,
Linn
