Reporting Services Deployment Problem

I'm new to Reporting Services and whenever I try to deploy a report I've
build in .NET, I have to turn off anonymous access to the ReportServer folder
in IIS. I imagine that Reporting Services wasnt installed correctly or that
there is some way to fix this. However, I havent been able to find any help
by searching the web or other sites I usually find helpful. Does anyone know
how to fix this?I suspect I am also in the same set of issues. My configuration is SQL
Server 2005, IIS5.1 on XP-SP2 using VS.NET 2005. The tool I am using to
debug IIS is the IIS 6.0 RK. I think my problems are related to it appears
that RS wants to be on a real server with SSL and Kerberos. NT
authentication doesn't appear to be enough to get to the virtual drive?

treated the same. RS uses roll based security. What I do is setup local
groups. To the local groups I add the appropriate domain groups/users. The
local group is assigned to a roll with certain rights, usually just browse
rights.
Here is a good link to read up on security.

That may be helpful, but it looks cumbersome. I'm deploying reports across
a company Intranet. Would using role based security require me to give every
single user (there are a LARGE number) an account? What I would really like
is a way to have an 'anonymous' user group that can only browse the reports -
that way I dont spend half of my time fielding requests for access to the
reports and setting up new accounts. Any suggestions?

For instance yourdomain\users, at my company it is ourdomain\domain users.
So you should be able to just add that group once.
If you have resource kit installed there is a dos command called showgrps
that will show you all the groups you are part of, this would show you the
catchall group.

Thanks for your help. I'm a bit over my head in this discussion - since I'm
a developer with very little to no experience in network administration /
server administration but I will look into setting up role based security.
Thanks for your help.

suggestion and the link I sent you.
