Publishing from RS 2000 to RS 2005

I want to publishing many reports from RS 2000 to RS 2005. These reports have
several server parameters. In order to do it I have used the utility
RSScripter, but this application produces .rss and .cmd files for RS 2000. I
have modified their code to do to function them to publish to RS 2005. Does
exist another version of this utility to do this migration? Does exist
another manner to solve this issue?
Many thanksI prefer to deploy using the report designer. The utility you are speaking
of has a version that supports both 2000 and 2005.

RSScripter. When I launch the cmd files produces for RS 2000 to publish to RS
2005 I have some errors if before I don't modified the scripts. In particular,
I can lost the server parameters of RS 2000 reports. Moreover, there are two
different manners between RS 2000 and RS 2005 to set the data source for a
report. I don't see any option inside RSScripter to produce rdl, rds and cmd
files to RS 2005 but reading RS 2000 reports.

If you are going between RS 2000 and RS 2005 I suggest you do not do it this
way. Although RS 2005 will run RS 2000 reports I recommend that you convert
your reports to RS 2005 first. I had a few weird little problems that went
away once I did this.
To convert you have to pull up the report in RS2005 report designer, let it
convert and then save. It is a little bit of a pain but the process is
quick. I kept a copy of my RS 2000 version reports around.
