SQL 2012 - How to uninstall the RSService and RSServiceProxy?
-
Thursday, January 17, 2013 5:30 AM
I am in the process of setting up a test server with SQL 2012 Reporting Services and connecting it to an existing Sharepoint 2010 farm
I mistakenly ran the install commands for the RSServer and RSServiceProxy on the Web Front End server where I found afterwards it is only needed on the server running Reporting Services
These are the powershell commands:
Install-SPRSService
Install-SPRSServiceProxy
The service now shows up in Central Admin for the WFE server as not started (it throws an error when trying to start)
Reading the following link it says the same commands will uninstall but doesn't say what parms to use to do so:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg492249.aspx#bkmk_sharedservice_cmdlets
I'm having issues now trying to create a service application for reporting services, so hoping removing this service from the WFE server will help

Hi Eldorados,
We can uninstall the Add-in for SharePoint product to uninstall SPRSService and SPRSServiceProxy. When we uninstall the add-in from a computer, we can choose to only uninstall the files or to also remove the Reporting Services feature from the farm. For information on uninstalling the Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint products, see how to remove the Reporting Services Add-in section in the link below:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa905871.aspx#bkmk_remove_addinBesides, here has a MSDN document about install Reporting Service SharePoint Mode as a single server farm which might helpful for you, please see:

Thanks for the reply, but if you read my post I wasn't asking about the add-in
I was asking about the SQL Reporting Services - Service that gets installed into SharePoint, which you then see show up in your Services on Server screen in Central Admin
The answer always seems to be a simple one, didn't notice the parms on the commands
Install-SPRSService -uninstall
Install-SPRSServiceProxy -uninstall
This did the trick and removed those services from my front end server, I can now create a Service Application
PS. Why is there only Single Server instructions available from MS? How many actually run this kind of setup? There are more variables involved in installing multi server setups that are not evident when following single server
