Service Changes and Improvements

Because IIS is no longer part of the platform, the Report Server Service now stops and starts all aspects of SSRS, including Report Manager, the web services, and the background processing engine (a.k.a., the Scheduling and Delivery Processor). SSRS also includes a new native authentication layer (as opposed to using IIS for authentication), as well as native HTTP logging and server memory usage configuration.

For a complete list of which administrative tasks may be performed by which tools, see the MSDN article “Behavior Changes in SQL Server Reporting Services.”
