Solution:
You will get the above error while applying the Service Pack to SQL Server 2005 where you have installed the Reporting Service Component as well.

You wil get the error information from summary.txt file. Below information you find from the log.

Status : Failure
Log File : D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\LOG\Hotfix\RS9_Hotfix_KB2463332_sqlrun_rs.msp.log
Error Number : 29528
Error Description : MSP Error: 29528 The setup has encountered an unexpected error while Setting reporting service and share point exclusion path. The error is: Fatal error during installation.

As you aware that, SQL Server 2005 Reporting Service is dependent on the IIS, SSRS configuration manager is using IIS for virtual directory. (Fyi, SSRS 2008 is not dependent on the IIS)

In case of the above error you have to check the status of IIS, IIS Admin Service shouldn’t be disabled and stopped.

You can check the IIS status using below command.
— To check the status of the IIS services
c:\>iisreset /status

--start the ftp service 
c:\>net start msftpsvc

c:\>net start smtpsvc
--start the plesk control panel service 
c:\>net start PleskControlPanel
--start the HTTP SSL service 
c:\>net Start HTTPFilter 
--restart IIS services

You can move the job using one of the below technique.

Using SSIS

You can use the transfer Jobs Task in SSIS to move the job to different SQL Instance. Right Click on Transfer Jobs task and click on Edit…

Specify the Source Connection and Destination Connection in Jobs page. Here you have options, you can either transfer all jobs or select the specific job from the job list drop down.

By Scripting Out Job

You can also move the job by scripting it out.

You can also restore the MSDB database on target SQL Box if it is the same SQL version and there is no other jobs exist there.
