Sharepoint can't see ReportServer

Hi there,,

I've just installed the the Team Foundation Beta 3, on a dual server setup. But I can't get my reportingservices to work as expected

I've just found out that the installation did't exclude the "Reports" and "ReportServer"-paths automatictly So I tried to go to my app-tier and open'ed a command-promt and typed:

 > STSADM.EXE -o addpath -url http://tfs/ReportServer -type exclusion
Then I get:
 The server instance specified was not found.  Please specify the server's addres
 s and port.

 > STSADM.EXE -o addpath -url http://tfs/Reports -type exclusion
 The server instance specified was not found.  Please specify the server's addres
 s and port.

But if I write the URL in IE, I see,, for "http://tfs/ReportServer"
 a "web-based file-structure" with the 2 datasources.. for "http://tfs/Reports
" -a fine GUI, with just 2 datasources. I can't see my sites-qureyes either ..

    Glad to hear you are up and running now.

    As for tasks, if you create a task it is stored in the TFS database. If you are running a report and you aren't seeing the task you might check the query to make sure it should be retrieved. However, I know there were a few issues with reports, perhaps you hit one of the issues.

    If you think your issue is a bug, do you want to write it up here (separate thread) or via the MSDN bug tool. This way we can track the issue, etc.

    Thanks for the explaination :), that help..

    -Yes my installations complete correctly,, i did't got any errors..

    I have now been able to create a project.. i thought i just could create a site from SharePoint, but found out, that i had to create it from Visual Studio, for the project to complete.. Now i also kan see my site's querys in http://tfs/reports. Great :)


    -Another question: the taks's I create in VS or on my site, shoulden thise taks reflect on each others list .. I've tried "kicking"
     the reportserver, from the reportserver's "Invoke"-page. But noting happens  

    Thanks.

    On a dual server box you won't see the Reporting vdirs excluded.  They don't need to be unless wss is on the same box.  The command, as you probably know, tells WSS to not attempt to handle requests to the specified directory.  In a dual server configuration (beta 3) this is a non-issue.  In V1 RTM we are moving the Reporting services to the appliation tier.

    Did the installations complete correctly

    Were you able to create a new Project

    If you go to the datatier box and http://machinename/Reports does it work   If you do the same command from the application tier does it work

    I am getting the same error with stsadm not being able to find the reports server. I'm doing a single-server installation and unfortunately my install does not complete. Sad

    Looking at the MSI log file, it looks like these lines causes the install to fail and start a rollback:

    WriteMetabaseChanges:  Error 0x80110414: failed to create web application: /LM/W3SVC/2/Root
    MSI (s) (B0!4C) [11:49:44:094]: Product: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server - ENU -- The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 26105. The arguments are: -2146368492, /LM/W3SVC/2/Root,
    WriteMetabaseChanges:  Error 0x80110414: failed to create ASP App
    MSI (s) (B0:4C) [11:49:44:188]: User policy value 'DisableRollback' is 0
    MSI (s) (B0:4C) [11:49:44:188]: Machine policy value 'DisableRollback' is 0
    Action ended 11:49:44: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.

    Any help greatly appreciated!
