This is/was one of my blogs. Just a few bits and pieces - IT, woodwork, metalwork, electronics, DIY, technology articles and anything else I might be currently interested in and get around to documenting.

There might be some broken things because this site was converted roughly from Wordpress to jekyll.

My main area of interest these days is political party innovation which I’m building a project for at oneaction.nz

Setting up SQL Server Reporting Services in SharePoint integration mode and you turn up with this error when you try to “Grant Database Access” from within Central Administration:

“Unable to connect to the Report Server WMI provider“

If you’ve got an ISA firewall between your MOSS central admin and your SSRS server you’ll need to turn off “Strict RPC Compliance” just while central admin performs the “Grant Database Access” operation .

Hope this saves someone some time. Not a very common scenario I guess.
