I have worked together with the Team Foundation Server product group and they were able to track down the root cause of this behavior. I am pleased to inform you that the issue has...(<a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/lszomoru/archive/2011/03/08/unable-to-manage-reporting-services-role-with-tfs-administration-tool-2-1-on-team-foundation-server-2010.aspx">read more</a>)<img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10138076" width="1" height="1">lszomoruhttp://blogs.msdn.com/lszomoru/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxhttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/lszomoru/archive/2010/12/19/tfs-administration-tool-2-1-has-been-released.aspx2010-12-19T12:24:09Z2010-12-19T12:24:09ZDue to a busy summer and autumn I haven’t had much time to work on the TFS Administration Tool but I am pleased to announce that TFS Administration Tool 2.1 has been released.
