TFS Disaster Update

Got a responce from Microsoft today.

They suggest that the Reporting Services should be installed on the application tier, quoting the Installation Guide for the TFS:

Application Tier

The Team Foundation application tier is composed of Web-based, front-end applications that are integrated with Internet Information Services (IIS). These applications include SQL Server Reporting Services, Team Foundation Core Services, and SharePoint Products and Technologies. In addition, the application tier hosts Team Foundation Windows services.

To which I reply, quoting the Installation Guide for the TFS:

How to Deploy Team Foundation Server with SQL Server Reporting Services on a Remote Server

You can deploy SQL Server Reporting Services on a remote server, which is a server other than the application-tier server for Team Foundation. In this scenario, you can deploy Team Foundation Server and run SQL Server Reporting Services on any of the following types of servers:

The data-tier server for Team Foundation.
The same server on which SharePoint Products and Technologies is running.
A remote server anywhere on the network.

Stay tuned as the epic saga unfolds!
