I've done this installation successfully a few times before. On all other times for SP 2013 with SQL 2012 SSRS, I installed on the application server because it was the only server.
This time I'm installing into a FARM. One of the DEV guys asked me to install it on one of the WFE server in the farm so i did. The installation was successful. to verify the installation I run this command.
get-spserviceinstance -all |where {$_.TypeName -like "SQL Server Reporting*"} | Start-SPServiceInstance
and I get this reply..
WARNING: 'SQL Server Reporting Services Service' is already started on server 'Server1'
The next steps are to create a reporting services application. However, in central admin, that option doesn't show up under "Manage Service Applications" - "New"
The Microsoft instructions say this means it wasn't installed correctly. When I go to manage services, then select my WFE server, it doesn't show SQL Server Reporting Services Service
Yet when I go back and re-run the shell command it says it's installed and running. I've rebooted the farm to no avail. Anyone know what I did wrong?
Am I supposed to install this on the application server instead of the WFE?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
