Access is denied when connecting to SSIS via SSMS 2008

I was trying to connect to a SSIS 2005 installation via SSMS 2008.

The first error I had is the classical access is denied. I googled around and realized that I need to get right access privileges.

Luckily, MS posted this article ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337083.aspx) which is pretty helpful. However, our DBA followed the every single steps but I still can’t connect to.

This step was missing on that article.

 

Secondly, when I try to connect to SSIS 2005, it pops up another error which is class is not registered.  This is actually a known issue by MS but there is no solution at this moment (https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/363922/connect-to-ssis-service-on-machine-servername-failed-class-not-registered?wa=wsignin1.0) . So for now, for SSIS 2005, we have to use SSMS 2005 to connect. However, SSMS2008 can be used to connect to DB 2005/2000, analysis service 2005. Odd…
