Sql reporting services on another instance on the data tier


Hi there,

I am attempting to upgrade team foundation server from RC to RTM. I have a dual server setup. On the data tier server, reporting services is installed but on a different SQL server instance as opposed to the default instance used by tfs. We use the reporting services installation for other purposes. We use a separate app tier server for tfs which will have reporting services installed.

Unfortunately, the tfs installation on the data tier fails after the pre-requisites check due to the presence of reporting services. Is there any work-around other than un-installing reporting services, for ex: disabling the installation from checking for the presence of reporting services on the data tier.

It will be very painful :( for us to un-install and re-install reporting services just to upgrade team foundation server. I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks,

We have not tested RS being on an instance of Sql. I believe we require RS to be on the default instance since we try to set it up that way. I think you have come up with the only suggestion possible.
