If you are coming from SSRS 2005 background. You would be accustomed to the fact that SSRS is part of SQL server and at the same time, it is a web application in IIS. So, when you want to configure the report server, you would tinker the IIS and SQL server management studio. However, once you have upgraded the SSRS to be 2008.
