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?

Finally saw that there is "Microsoft Reporting Services Projects 2022" available for VS2022, which should by idea work as a report designer and open the existing reports. But it turns out all of the report projects now are unsupported/incompatible due to new version of VS. If the VS2019 will be installed, there everything will work.
And migration report is not very informative:
The application which this project type is based on was not found. Please try this link for further information: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=661331&projecttype=F14B399A-7131-4C87-9E4B-1186C45EF12D
Any ideas how to make them work in VS2022? Maybe someone had similar experience?
Solution:
Thanks to the posted suggestion (marked green) managed to install 'Microsoft Reporting Services Projects' Version 3.0.1, which was crucial on VS2019, instead of the 'Microsoft Reporting Services Projects 2022'. That fixed my reporting issue, but due to outdated reporting solution. Probably will need to update it to newer one to avoid such legacy workarounds.
If you'd like to have early access to VS2022 release candidate builds before they are published to the VS Gallery, we’re making available to give customers an opportunity to provide feedback prior to finalizing releases. To access the release candidate of the extensions in Visual Studio, you may do so by creating a “private gallery” and entering the following settings.
Navigate to Tools > Options and then select Extensions and Updates under General.
Under "Additional Extension Galleries", enter the following details:
Name: Microsoft BI VSIX Preview
URL: http://aka.ms/ProBI-VSIX2022
After entering these settings, your "Extensions and Updates" dialog will show updates for the extension when there is a new release candidate that you can install to provide feedback for a day or two before the VS Gallery VSIX is updated.
Provide feedback and report issues with this Vsix Package or Reporting Services projects in general to: ProBIToolsFeedback#microsoft.com.

I faced a similar issue. I was working on my reports, closed VS2022 and trying to re-open the project, it was shown as "incompatible".
Go to Extensions -> Manage Extension -> Installed
In my case the 'Microsoft Reporting Services Projects' was disabled. Re-enable it, then close and re-open VS2022. If the project is still shown as "incompatible", reload it and it should solve the issue.
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.
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.
I have had some problems with Team Foundation Server 2012.
I have managed to recreate the reporting services and now have a SQL Server Reporting Services page to go to from TFS.
However it does not have any reports in it.
How do I go about recreating the ones that come with the process template?
TFS is being used for source control and planning at the moment so I don't want to start from scratch.
If your TFS had already been connected to SSRS before creating the team project, these reports would have been created automatically. Since you have connected it after the fact, I would recommend you use the TFS Power Tools (make sure you download the correct version for you TFS installation) and run the tfpt addprojectreports command. You can run the command with the /? switch for details on how to use it.
Slightly OT, but...
I have two named instances of MSSQL 2008 Developer Edition and also SQL Express 2008 with Advanced Services.
I just went to use the DTA, and it is not anywhere on my system.
I went to setup to add it, and see that the checkbox for it is cleared (all others are checked), and it and every other shared tool is greyed out so I can't get it installed.
Before I uninstall all of this stuff, can anyone recommend a way to get this stuff installed.
Thanks.
The bottom line is "don't install SQL Server Express after you install Developer Edition".
I uninstalled all of the Shared Services (Basic Management Tools, etc) for the SQLExpress instance, then installed a new instance of Developer Edition, and I was able to then get the performance tools included. DTA is now back.
