SQL Server Reporting Services installation and setup - sql-server-2008

We have a single computer with Windows7 Home Premium running with SQL Server 2008 R2 and would like to install the Reporting Services on it.
Can you point us to a step by step tutorial or other web site (not microsoft) that will get this up and running?
We ran the SQL Server setup program and we did not see an option to install the Reporting Services.
We searched 2 ebooks already (the books did not tell us where to get the Reporting Services software) as well as looked at the Microsoft site which was way to overwhelming.

You can have the steps needed from this page: Setup SQL Reporting Services (SRS) in SQL 2008 .

How about a video? It's doing an install on a server, but the steps are the same. The critical step is the features selection, it's at the beginning of part 2.

SQL Server 2017 configuration manager missing reporting services service

This question has been been asked before, but no one has answered it. I installed SQL Server 2017 Express, created a database and installed the Reporting Services (which now is a separate download).
Everything is working, BUT, when I open the SQL Server Configuration Manager, EVERYTHING is there but the SQL Server Reporting Services service.
I have to go to services.msc to start and stop it under the title 'SQL Server Reporting Services'. Did something go wrong with my install? Does the 2017 version of Reporting Services no no longer go in the SQL Server Configuration Manager? Is there something that can be done to get it there or do I have to uninstall and try again?
Thank you in advance!
James
Nothing went wrong. Because SQL Server Reporting Services is a separate product, it's no longer included in the tools used to manage SQL. While I do not have any documentation for this, I experienced the same thing in SQL 2019.

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.

Standalone SSDT installation only shows Integration Service in SSCM

I have installed SQL Server Data Tools in standalone mode (SSDT 2012 11.0.3000.0) i.e. without it being part of any SQL Server or Visual Studio Package. All I'm seeing now in SSCM is Integration Services running. There is no SSRS, SSAS or for that matter not even Database Engine and Agent services running. Even when I create any analysis or reporting service projects, all I see is SSIS toolbox over there. I haven't done this kind of standalone installation before and don't know if I might be missing something. Really appreciate some help here
Thanks,

Below is a list of the SQL components that I installed in the Visual Studio 2010 Professional setup. Sadly, while trying to work I could not find SQL Server Management Studio 2008.
Is there a way to download SQL Server Management Studio 2008 separately and install only that component?
Since in the past I installed SQL Server Management Studio 2005 with a whole new instance of SQL Server 2005 and had couple of instances, and it was a bit messy.
I found some articles to be of major use:
This link is an experience someone else had:
http://goneale.com/2009/05/24/cant-install-microsoft-sql-server-2008-management-studio-express/
This link has the exact steps involved to install everything properly:
http://www.codefrenzy.net/2011/06/03/how-to-install-sql-server-2008-management-studio/
This link confirms the previous link:

My Instructions
I am not sure if my instructions will be 100% accurate, but in my instance, because I installed VS2010 on a fresh copy of Windows 7, the VS2010 installer installs SQL Server 2008 Express for you, so from this point I just need the Management Studio.
What I gathered from these explanations is to do the following:
Download the SQL Server Management Studio install from
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=22973
Run the setup, when you get to the point where it asks you to "Perform a new installation of SQL Server 2008" or "Add features to an existing instance of SQL Server 2008", this part is the CONFUSING PART (HEY MICROSOFT TAKE NOTES, DON'T DO THIS KIND OF STUFF).
As much as you want to select "Add features to an existing instance of SQL Server 2008" DON'T!!!!
You need to select "Perform a new installation of SQL Server 2008". It doesn't sound right I know - it is very confusing and counter intuitive, but this seems to be the way to install management studio. :(
Press next until you see the features selection portion. Heeeeeyyyy look at that, it has a check box for Management Studio. It should be selected already, if not then select it of course and press next.
Press Next next next next next next... basically just install it at this point.
Enjoy, it has installed.
If you have the SQL Server 2008 Installation media, you can install just the Client/Workstation Components. You don't have to install the database engine to install the workstation tools, but if you plan to do Integration Services development, you do need to install the Integration Services Engine on the workstation for BIDS to be able to be used for development. Keep in mind that Visual Studio 2010 does not have BI development support currently, so you have to install BIDS from the SQL Installation media and use the Visual Studio 2008 BI Development Studio that installs under the SQL Server 2008 folder in Program Files if you need to do any SSIS, SSRS, or SSAS development from the workstation.
As mentioned in the comments you can download Management Studio Express free from Microsoft, but if you already have the installation media for SQL Server Standard/Enterprise/Developer edition, you'd be better off using what you have.
Download SSMS 2008 Express
I am just updating this with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2 version. if you run the installer normally, you can just add Management Tools – Basic, and by clicking Basic it should select Management Tools – Complete.
That is what worked for me.
The accepted answer was correct up until July 2011. To get the latest version, including the Service Pack you should find the latest version as described here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2527041
For example, if you check the SP2 CTP and SP1, you'll find the latest version of SQL Server Management Studio under SP1:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26727
Download the 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) version of the SQLManagementStudio*.exe files as appropriate and install it. You can find out whether your system is 32-bit or 64-bit by right clicking Computer, selecting Properties and looking at the System Type.
Although you could apply the service pack to the base version that results from following the accepted answer, it's easier to just download the latest version of SQL Server Management Studio and simply install it in one step.
For any of you still having problems as of Sept. 2012, go here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2527041 ...and grab the SQLManagementStudio_x(32|64)_ENU.exe (if you've already installed SQL Server 2008 Express R2), or SQL Server 2008 Express R2 with Tools, i.e. SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU.exe or SQLEXPRWT_x32_ENU.exe (if you haven't).
From there, follow similar instructions as above (i.e. use the "Perform new installation and add shared features" selection, as "Management Tools - Basic" is considered a "shared feature"), if you've already installed SQL Server Express 2008 R2 (as I had). And if you haven't done that yet, then of course you're going to follow this way as you need to install the new instance anyway.
This solved things for me, and hopefully it will for you, too!
SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2 Express commandline:
The answer by dyslexicanaboko hits the crucial point, but this one is even simpler and suited for command line (unattended scenarios):
(tried out with SQL Server 2008 R2 Express, one instance installed and having downloaded SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe)
As pointed out in this thread often enough, it is better to use the original SQL server setup (e.g. SQL Express with Tools), if possible, but there are some scenarios, where you want to add SSMS at a SQL derivative without that tools, afterwards:
I´ve already put it in a batch syntax here:
#echo off
"%~dp0SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe" /Q /ACTION="Install" /FEATURES="SSMS" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
Remarks:
For 2008 without R2 it should be enough to omit the /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS flag, i guess.
The /INDICATEPROGRESS parameter is useless here, the whole command takes a number of minutes and is 100% silent without any acknowledgement. Just look at the start menu, if the command is ready, if it has succeeded.
This should work for the "ADV_SSMS" Feature (instead of "SSMS") too, which is the management studio extended variant (profiling, reporting, tuning, etc.)

What to know for upgrading from Reporting Services 2000 to SSRS 2008

Not that it's a prerequisite for commenting here, but I'd like to pick the brain of someone that's taken their Reporting Services platform from 2000 to 2008 (skipping right over 2005).
The architecture between 2000 and 2005 (so thus between 2000 and 2008 also) changed significantly it seems, so I'd like to know what needs to be done (before,during,after) the process of taking my rs2000 install (installed on a web server running IIS 5, connecting to a remote sql server 2000 box that hosts the ReportServer/ReportServerTempDB databases) and converting it to SQL208 - where, from the looks of it, is hosted in some sort of it's own native hosting engine, no IIS needed (is that right?).
I've used this tool before, but only for moving stuff between 2 rs2000 databases. I'm curious if it works between 2000 and 2008. I've also been reading on TechNet and MSDN about some kind of "upgrade advisor" and "upgrade wizard" - but I remember what the VB6 to VB.NET Wizard was like, so I'm a little skeptical of a wizard that proclaims to help migrate stuff between 2 architecturally different versions of a product.
Disclaimer: I am not a Reporting Services (or SQL Server) admin. Just the guy on the team most familiar with installing/supporting the tool, so I'm stuck being responsible for this migration too - though I'm a veteran developer, not totally clueless.
Be aware, there is no anonymous mode in SRS 2008, you should use Active Directory / Kerberos / Windows authentication or use your own authentication module.
In SRS2008 you've got feature like Tablix/Matrix which are really usefull, maybe you can make some optimizations into your old reports.
