I have a SQL Server 2008 R2 Report Server running on a Windows 7 machine as well as an ASP.NET application. The ASP.NET application makes requests to the Report Server to display a list of reports, render reports, etc. My ASP.NET application successfully gets the list of reports but when it tries to render a report I get the following error:
The permissions granted to user 'IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportServerException: The permissions granted to user 'IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)

Note: This same code base has worked fine on multiple machines running Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. Iv’e been trying many different things based on web searches but haven’t found a solution. Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.
Finally figure it out. My Reporting Services were configured to a local account while my Application Pool for IIS was configured to ApplicationPoolIdentity. I changed my Application Pool to LocalSystem and it fixed it. Hopefully this information will be useful to others as I wasted several hours figuring this out.
