Does anonymous access have to be disabled in IIS?

I want anonymous users to be able to see my reports. But it says here it
has to be disabled.

I'm getting an rsAccessDenied if I give it anon access.Ok, I got a solution, but is this ok?
I got anonymous access to work on the report server. I hope there's no
security issues with it. Reporting services won't allow anonymous access,
so I set in IIS ReportServices Properties->Directory Security-> anonymous
access->edit-> anonymous access->edit
And Used my username Domain/CLee and my password. Also Integrated Windows
Security needs to be checked too.
Then, anyone can access the report server.

then you have succeeded.
A better way of allowing anonymous access is to
1. give the IUSR_computername the required permissions (for ex. browser, or
content manager) in the report server - use Home | Properties | Security and
Site Settings | Security
2. enable anonymous access, and leave the account as IUSR_machine... or some
equally unpermissioned account.
