SSRS 2005 vs ADFS vs IIS 7.5 - iis-7

I have installed SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 on a Windows 2008 R2 machine and have successfully integrated Windows Authentication on the report server and report manager virtual applications. Do you know if it is possible to integrate the report manager and report server to ADFS?
I have found some really helpful tutorials but have so far not managed to find any information relating to running report virtual applications under IIS 7.5 with ADFS. Running under IIS 6 looks possible.

"ORA-03134: Connections to this server version are no longer supported."

I am trying to understand why the same C# Oracle access code works under VS2010 environment but not under IIS.
I am building a web service to access Oracle 9.2 database on the remote machine. The web service must be hosted in the IIS under Windows 2003 machine. The same machine is hosting Oracle 9.2 database.
The web service must be compiled for x86 CPU because of Windows 2003 that is 32-bit architecture.
My Visual Studio project is WCF Application.
When I run the service under ASP.NET Development Server everything works fine. The database is connected and all CRUD operations are possible.
When I deploy everything under IIS on my machine or any other machine the I am getting "ORA-03134: Connections to this server version are no longer supported." at the time of connecting.
I supposed it is some kind of permission problem so I run the service under special Application Pool with LocalSystem account. I even gave to the Oracle client folder installed on my machine Full Control permissions for IIS users but this should not be needed because of LocalSystem account.
Anyway I tried and nothing. It is always the same error.
What could be the reason ?

after moving the asp.net app from IIS 6 to IIS 7 on windows server 2008 R2 IIS 7 is not allowing to save the doc/execl files locally

we have recently moved one of our ASP.Net app from IIS 6 windows server 2003 to IIS 7 windows server 2008 R2. when the application was in IIS 6 we were able to bowose that and able to save the doc/excel files locally. But after moving that to IIS 7 on windows server 2008 R2 we can browse that app but not able to save the doc/execl locally.
could anyone please help me on this.
Thanks and Regards,

You need to check which user the application pool for your site is running as. This could be:
ApplicationPoolIdentity, NetworkService or another specified user.
If you change the app pool to use NetworkService you will then be able to assign security permissions on your directory allowing NetworkService read / modify permissions.

A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. TCP provider, error: 0

I always get the above error when trying to connect to a SQL server 2000 database hosted on a "server" with Windows XP pro. The client pc (my working environment) is Windows 7.
Up to now I have developed my application using Visual Studio 2010 and Net framework 4.0.
All was working correctly. Then I have installed Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web and ASP.NET 4.5.
Now, when i try to connect via SqlConnection conConnection .Open() i get the Exception:
A connection was successfully established with the server,
but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake.
(provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 -
An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.)
Please note the second message, because I have found very little info on that: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
I have yet unsuccessfully tried a myriad solutions, including:
Various connection strings (Encrypt=false; )
netsh WinSock Show Catalog > winsocks.txt (don't seem to spot any strange application here)
netsh Winsock reset on both client and server
Rebuilding the app from Visual Studio targeting Net 4.0 / Net 4.5
Use Visual Studio Development Server or Local IIS Web Server
IIS reset, restarting Client and Server pc variuos times
Checked the SQL Server 2000 properties, connections, logs, profiler...
What other could I try next without disinstalling Net 4.5 (and Visual Studio 2012)?
Important additional info
This same application is deployed in a production server (Windows 7, IIS 7.5, Net framework 4.0).
The application actually in production was compiled with Visual Studio 2010, net 4.0, and is connecting correctly with no errors (thankfully)!
So, the problem has arisen on my client machine after I have installed VS Express 2012 and Asp.net 4.5. (I have also tried to open and recompile the solution with VS2010, but I get the same exception).
EDIT
For testing purpose, I have deployed my application, compiled with VS 2012 / Net 4.0, to the "production" server (on which I have never installed Net 4.5 of course).
For this I have created a new Web Site, with Application pool set to Integrated pipeline and targeting Net Framework v4.0.30319.
Now, this test web site connect successfully to my test SQL Server database (SQL 2000) and also to my production server database (SQL7).
Clue:
the problem resides only on my client pc, and the culprit is Net 4.5?
EDIT 2
Connecting via Visual Studio 2010 or 2012 Server Explorer, Data Source: Microsoft SQL Server (SqlClient) gives the same Exception (only difference is that now is pre-login handshake timeout).
Instead Connecting from Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008 works fine! (Server type: Database engine; Server name: myserver\SQL2000; Authentication: SQL Server Auth; Login: Password)
How can be that the connection from SQL Server Management Studio works fine?
Did you uninstall VS 2012 to "fix" this issue? Why can't you install .NET 4.5 on the server or copy the DLLs to the server per Marc Gravell's post at http://marcgravell.blogspot.co.nz/2012/09/iterator-blocks-missing-methods-and-net.html?
I am essentially having the same problem. ASP.NET Project that runs successfully on a Win 7 computer in visual studio 2010 but moved to a Windows 8 box running Visual Studio 2012. Project is converted by VS when running it throws the SQL server error message described above. SQL server is remote but both clients (Win 7 and Win 8) are local on the same network. One works and the other doesn't.
Comparing setup on both machines in IIS I found that there is a difference between the configuration of the Application Pool in use by the web application. The Identity property defaults to "ApplicationPoolIdentity" but if you change it to "NetworkService" then the problem is resolved. Hopefully this will help someone else as I have done an extensive search and found nothing that pointed to this.

moving asp.net(express) app with databases(sql server express) to server 2008 R2 without errors

i'm trying to move an asp.net application to a server with windows server 2008 R2 installed, but when i try to get it on the server it keeps giving me errors with sql-server connection strings and other things.
i have 2 databases 1 used for loging in(using asp's build in login form)
and 1 with customer database, running on sql server 2008 express with 3 tables
everything works on the windows 7 i installed it on but i find it hard to find a good tut to do it,
preferrably moving the asp.net app and database over usb since my windows 7 isn't at the same location as the server
(ps i have sql server express and iis installed on the server

ASP.NET cannot connect to 64-bit Sql Server 2008

We have an ASP.NET application written in Visual Studio 2003 (c#) using SQL Server 2000 as database. It’s an old web application that our clients have been using for 4+ years.
Now, we needed to upgrade the application to work on Windows Server 2008 using SQL Server 2008, both 64bit, both on the same machine. So we ported the application to Visual Studio 2008, made some needed modifications and successfully installed the application on Windows Server 2008 with database still being the old SQL Server 2000. Everything worked fine. But as soon as I modified the connection string to work with the new SQL Server 2008 64bit, it stopped working. Basically the web browser just shows – The webpage cannot be displayed; no error messages whatsoever.
I monitored the processess and event log - basically it seems that asp.net worker process is generating errors until it stops working. And I can’t figure out why. All should be fine on SQL Server 2008 side, all protocols enabled, even disabled firewall; i can connect to the instance using Management studio from the same server (64bit) and from other development machines (64bit/32bit).
Then i tried using the web application from my development machine (still Vistual Studio 2003 one, i.e. 32 bit with ASP.NET 1.1) and connect to the new SQL Server 2008 and i got „Server application unavailable“ error. Same thing happens, worker process is generating errors until it stops working.
I used IIS Diagnostic Tool to debug the moment the error occurs – all i got was basically unlimited numbers of „First chance“ exceptions (problems with msvcr80.dll, mscorwks.dll). If I limited the number of those, I also managed to get „Kernel32!TerminateProcess“ exception, which after analysis stated that it didn’t detect any problems with that; only one time i got the warning, describing that 1 client connection was executing for more than 90 seconds.
I dont think the problem is on the 64bit Windows server 2008 or SQL server 2008 side, since when, just for checking, we used Sharepoint application with the new SQL Server 2008 as database, it connected just fine.
So what am I missing with our ASP.NET application configuration/development that it cannot connect to 64 bit Sql server 2008?
Thanks and regards,
Martin.
This sounds like a configuration problem, probably a permissions problem. Your Sql Server is on a different box than the your web server? If so I would look at what user your web site is running under. Make sure that user has access to the Sql Server.
If your user does have access make sure it has access to travel the wire to your SQL Server. Try to connect to the SQL Server via Sql Management Studio with the user's credentials.
