Minimum NTFS Permissions required for SQL Server Reporting Services to run

I posted elsewhere my troubles in installing SQL Server Reporting services
on my development server. This server is locked down in (almost) the exact
same way as our production server in order to prove the ability of
applications to run and to protect our software under development.
I used two documents from Microsoft to set the NTFS Permissions:
Minimum NTFS Permissions Required for IIS 5.0 To work:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q271071
and Aspnet_wp.exe Could Not Be Started Error Message When You View an
ASP.Net Page:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B811320
I was not able to install SQL Server Reporting Services when the NTFS
permissions were set as documented. I was forced to make the ASPNet user an
administrator to install, this proves that the issue is permission related.
I have not been able to find a document outlining the permissions needed for
SQL Server Reporting Services. Is anyone aware of one? Our servers must be
as secure as is reasonably possible so I need this information.
Thank you.Hmm.Were you trying to install RS while logged in as ASPnet user? As is not
atypical, when installing a server application you need to be logged in as
someone with Administrator priveleges on the server. However, this does not
mean that the accounts that run need to be in the admin group. When I
install it I log in as log administrator and install it. There is no reason
for aspnet user to be adminstrator (it isn't in my configuration).

Migrating to 64 bit.

I just finished installing MSSQL 2000 to an Itanium cluster and all went
well, but when I tried to use DTS to transfer the users, it says you can't
use 32-bit DTS to transfer to 64-bit. Does anyone have a good trick to
transfer user accounts since I have several and don't know all the
passwords. I can move the databases, jobs, etc...
Nevermind, I just found this...
