| Three administration assistance utilities are installed automatically during the Reporting Services install: -
rs.exe Host scripting operations. Developers can, for example, create VB.NET script to deploy a set of reports . You can find more details about this utility in Chapter 25. -
rsconfig.exe Use to modify encrypted connection information to the Report Server database. -
rskeymgmt.exe Back up/restore symmetric keys for encrypted data used by a report server or delete encrypted data if the key is lost. For more details, please see Chapter 21, "Deploying and Configuring SSRS." Note SSRS 2005 discontinued the rsactivate.exe utility, which was used in the previous release to activate new SSRS instances in a web farm. In SSRS 2005, activation is performed using the Reporting Services Configuration Tool. |
