Hi write2kcl,

As I think, it is possible to configure Reporting server in iisexpress, according to it's redeme:

IIS 8.0 Express is supported on the following operating systems:

• Supported Native Platforms
  • Windows 8 Client (Intel/AMD) 32-bit/64-bit
  • Windows Server 2012 (Intel/AMD) 64-bit
• Supported Down-level Platforms
  • Windows 7 (x86 and x64)
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 (x86 and x64)
  • Windows Vista SP1 and later (x86 and x64)
  • Windows Server 2008 (x86 and x64)

so please take a look on this link:

Hi write2kcl,

SQL Server Reporting Services provides access to the full functionality of the report server through the Report Server Web service. You can develop a custom Report Manager using Report Server Web service for reports viewing and report server management, and deploy the Web Application using IIS Express.

The Report Server Web service is an XML Web service with a SOAP API. It uses SOAP over HTTP and acts as a communications interface between client programs and the report server. The Web service provides two endpoints - one for report execution and one for report management - with methods that expose the functionality of the report server and enable you to create custom tools for any part of the report life cycle.

Hope this helps.
