Hello,

Do you happen to have a backup of your encryption key? If not, follow these steps:

Open Reporting Services Configuration Manager

Connect to your RS server

Select 'Encryption Keys' from the left pane

Press the 'Delete' button to get rid of your encrypted content

After doing this, you will need to re-set the connection strings and stored credentials on your reports.

Also, I'd be sure to make a backup of the encryption key afterwards.

If you do have a backup, press the 'Restore'button instead of the 'Delete' button.

Hope this helps.

It helped me. Thanks a bunch.

I do not understand seemingly as simple thing as this (once some one knows where to look for), why can not Microsoft provide proper documentation or links from the exception message box it showed us useless message as below...

Hi, thanks a lot!

I've tried to use instructions provided here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842421, but faced issues on the very first point, because system wouldn't export the key saying "Access denied".

Your sollution works perfectly, and is very easy to use.

Worked for me! 

Do not forget to go in to SCCM -> Administration -> Accounts   and re-enter the credentials for the account you use to query SQL or it will not work properly.

    Press the 'Delete' button to get rid of your encrypted content

Note: Check if there is a existing encryption keys else if non proceed...

2.) In SCCM 2012 configmgr-monitoring-reporting-reports-reportoption tab type/enter the reporting

The report is showing in WEb browser and SCCM Report now...
