The add-in follows SharePoint pre-deployment standards and installs files in locations used by the SharePoint installation. The advantage of installing the add-in prior to the SharePoint product is that as new servers are added to the farm, the Reporting Services Add-in will be configured and activated by the SharePoint farm.
What happens if I uninstall the reporting services add-in?
Uninstalling the add-in will remove server integration features that are used to process reports on a report server. It will also remove the Reporting Services pages from SharePoint Central Administration and other custom Reporting Services pages.
What are the features of report services in SharePoint?
Features include Power View, a Report Viewer Web Part, a URL proxy endpoint, Reporting Services content types and application pages so that you can create, view, and manage reports, data sources and other report server content on a SharePoint site.
Using control panel will run a complete uninstall of the files on the current computer AND it will remove the Reporting Services object and features from the SharePoint farm. When the Reporting Services object and features are removed you can no longer review and update reports.
To start the wizard from Microsoft Windows Control Panel and remove the add-in: In Control Panel, in Programs, select Uninstall a Program. Select Microsoft SQL Server RS Add-in for SharePoint. You can also start the uninstall wizard by running rssharepoint.msi from the command prompt with no switches.
How to install rssharepoint.msi as an administrator?
