TFS - Not able to configure reporting services : Edit option no visible - reporting-services

I am trying to configure reporting services in TFS 2015, but there no Edit link visible on TFS Administration console.
I have upgraded server from TFS 2010 to TFS 2015.
.
Thanks in advance

Please make sure you have configured below settings before adding a report server.
Q: What kind of report server can I add?
A: You'll need to add SQL Server Reporting Services to provide a
report server for TFS. This can be added to the SQL Server instance
that is supporting TFS, or to a different instance.
Q: What permissions do I need?
A: You need to be a member of the local administrators group on the
server, the Team Foundation Administrators group in TFS, and the
sysadmin group in SQL Server, or have the equivalent permissions.
Also note:If you installed TFS on a client operating system, such as Windows 7, you can't add reporting as described here, because it isn't supported on client operating systems.

disable reporting TFS 2008

We have assumed maintenance of a legacy 32bit application. I installed TFS 2008 to use in maintaining the project.
We will never use reporting or sharepoint. I cant create a project because of issues with SSRS.
(The Project Creation Wizard encountered a problem while creating reports on the SQL Server Reporting Services on OHSENSS801. The reason for the failure cannot be determined at this time. Because the operation failed, the wizard was not able to finish creating the SQL Server Reporting Services site. )
How can I disable reporting and sharepoint in TFS 2008?
Thank you.
Unlike TFS 2010 and above version, you have to install the SharePoint components for TF2008.
TFS2008 is a very old server version and out of support for a long time. You could use TFS2010 instead, the SharePoint is no longer a prerequisite when you install TFS2010. You can go for TFS2010 Basic Configuration which is the most compact TFS installation possible.
In Basic Configuration, SharePoint and Reporting Integration will not be possible. It will install and configure Source Control, Work Item tracking and Build Services only.
Highly recommend you to move to a newly versioned TFS server. If you insist on using TFS2008, you could try to troubleshoot the configuration of SQL Server Reporting Services. Details please refer this thread in MSDN: SQL Server Reporting Services is not configured correctly
About how to remove Sharepoint and Reporting Services from TFS, you could go through this question. However, afraid removing these components, you will still not able to create team project. After all, if it will work, there is no need to be a prerequisite for installing TFS2008.

Connection Manager Provider SSIS package in VS 2012

I am creating my first SSIS package using Business Intelligence in Visual Studio 2012. I am adding the contents of an Excel sheet to an local VS database. In the Destination Assistant I am asked Destination Type = SQL Server, New: Provider - I see no .NET Framework option. The result seems to be that I am then unable to select my server and therefore databases.
Am I just missing the point?
I would recommend that you investigate the destination server and verify that you have the providers installed on that system. Typically these are installed at the time that SQL server is installed, but is possible via custom installation to specify the providers that are installed. It may be necessary for you to install any providers needed. A second option would be to point to a database that you know that you can connect to, say a localhost sandbox or other tried database. That would help you to determine if it's server side or client installation issues.

Where is sql server reporting service virtual folder hosted?

I installed the SSRS 2012 and tried visit
http://mybox.org/Reports, but get an error saying:
User 'mybox\xxx' does not have required permissions. Verify that
sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account
Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed
So I tried to check the IIS settings. But astonishingly found that in my IIS 8 management console, there's no Reports site or virtual folder. So, where is the Reports being hosted? And how to troubleshoot this permission error?
Physical directory of reportserver and report manager can be found under:
\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services
SSRS 2008 doesn't need IIS to work anymore. It sounds like that error is coming straight from SSRS and not the web server anyway. You need to give your account (MYBOX\xxx) access using the report manager interface. (SSMS can no longer be used to grant rights for report manager).
You'll need local administrator access to the machine that SSRS is installed on since it automatically has system-wide admin rights in report manager. Then you just navigate to http://localhost/reports and give \MYBOX\xxx whatever security permissions you need.
An MSDN tutorial on user rights management in SSRS.
For SQL Server 2017 the location pattern changed and now the default physical directory of ReportServer is:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services\SSRS\ReportServer

Unable to connect to the Report Server - Can't find service

Over the weekend the SQL Server 2008 R2 (running on Windows Server 2008 R2) was rebooted.
This morning my reports don't run.
I try to login to SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services Configuration Manager and it gives me an error: Unable to connect to the Report Server
I did some searches and found this, but I don't see any service called Report Server. I also don't see any services that - by its name - seem to be the reporting service when running SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Ideas?
Thanks.
The link you provided was for the 2012 version. Use the appropriate version of the link for a few ideas:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143773(v=sql.105).aspx
If the Reporting Services Configuration Manager can't be launched, I would check the system event logs for errors pointing in the right direction: This could be a lot of things: permissions, SQL connectivity problems, certificate expiration, &c.
Edit: the service name is still incorrect in the corret version of the docs I provided. The default instance of this service is called
SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER)
If you have multiple instances of SSRS installed there will be multiple services listed, with the instance name in parenthesis.

Verify TFS installation

I have a server that was configured by someone that is not on the company anymore and I need to check the TFS installation and enable that "dasboard" with reports, charts etc.
The only stuff working are: Source Control, issue tracking, web access.
As far as I could check, Reporting Services seems to be disabled (or not installed) and I don't know how to check SharePoint installation.
How can I verify and fix the TFS installation in order to make the reports work?
If Reporting Services are not installed or disabled, where can I install or enable it?
Use the Team Foundation Server 2010 Best Practices Analyzer included in the TFS Power Tools.
If you just open the TFS Admin Console, you can check for everything configured
SharePoint
Reports
Others
After that, start check this configuration per collection
If the SharePoint or Reporting not installed? You will need to install and configure them
For how to do this, there is a guide with videos on how to do enterprise installation, you can see the video of the SharePoint and Reporting only if you want, it will told you what exactly you will need to do?
