Why reporting services node is disabled in the object explorer of my SSMS ?
SSMSE cannot manage Analysis Services, Integration Services, or
Reporting Services.

Problem is with your Express version of SSMS
#Krtrek is correct. However, you can install the most recent SSMS preview release to connect to Analysis Services, Integration Services, Database Services, and Reporting Services engines. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/mt238290.aspx

I'm trying to connect SSIS but I have this error :
Connecting to the Integration Services service on the computer "DESKTOP-MT5FD4C" failed with the following error: "Server execution failed".
How can I fix it ?
SSIS OS service is a leftover from the SSIS 2005-2008R2 era. Starting from SSIS 2012 onwards there is no need in it.
Here is an excerpt from the official Microsoft documentation:
The topics in this section discuss the Integration Services service, a
Windows service for managing Integration Services packages. This
service is not required to create, save, and run Integration Services
packages. SQL Server 2012 (11.x) supports the Integration Services
service for backward compatibility with earlier releases of
Integration Services.

I just have un-configured Reporting Services from TFS 2013 because we never used it (see How to remove Sharepoint and Reporting Services from TFS 2013?).
Now my SQL Server 2012 is running services that I we don’t need anymore: Reporting Services (including its IIS site) and maybe also Analysis Services (not sure if that is useful in SQL server for other purposes?).
I want to make sure that there aren’t any leftover jobs or other settings for those services that still attempt to analyze the TFS data (and just use server resources or potentially generate errors in the Event Log).
Is there anything I need to do to clean up to make sure that SQL Server Analysis Services or Reporting services don't (attempt to) do any work on the TFS databases?
Can I / should I stop the services (and maybe disable them) or uninstall them? What are the steps for that? Or maybe don't bother and leave everything as is?
1). You can delete Tfs_Analysis cube from Analysis Services, and also delete Tfs_Warehouse database.
2). As 'Use Report' is disabled in the TFS Administrator Console, no jobs will analyze or sync data for TFS reporting purpose.
3). You can either stop or uninstall the Reporting Service. For uninstall Reporting Service, please check: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh479745.aspx
and stop Reporting Service, please check: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157232.aspx
I am attempting to setup Team Foundation server, however I am running into a problem regarding SQL Server Analysis Services.
The installer gives a warning saying that Analysis Services is not running. Analysis Services was installed when we installed the version of SQL because we do have the Deployment Wizard etc, however there is not a service showing in the services window that is running.
I tried to run the deployment wizard but it wants me to specify what database to connect to, and I can't create a database because I cant connect to analysis services.
There appears to be something fundamental that I am missing here, if anyone could give me guidance I would much appreciate it.
The AD account you install and configure TFS 2010 with has to have administrative privileges in the AS cube. You should be able to connect to it using SQL Server Management Studio. It needs these privileges during configuration to create and setup the cube.
How did you install SQL? Try tossing the SQL Install disc back in and install Analysis Services if it's not already present.
If you installed SQL Express as part of the TFS Install, then you don't get Analysis Services or any TFS features that depend on it (reporting).
Hi I have access to SQL Server at work and I've heard some interesting things that can be done with SQL Server Analysis Services. How do I know whether analysis services is running? Is it installed by default on the server? Would it be installed locally on my machine? Forgive what probably seems like a pretty dumb question, but I couldn't find any concrete details on Microsoft's website. Thanks!
SQL Server Analysis Services is included if you are using the following Editions:
Standard
Developer
Enterprise
Is there a way for me to know whether this component was installed?
It will be listed as a service - Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services, or just type "services.msc" from Start > Run.
Resources:
Administering Analysis Services
Deploying Analysis Services Development and Production Systems
Analysis Services How-to Topics
Look for MSSQLServerOLAPService or MSOLAP$some_name in services
OR
Start SQL Server Configuration Manager and look under SQL Server Services
When you're in SQL Server Management Studio, click on the Connect button in the Object Explorer. If you see "Analysis Services..." in the list, then you have Analysis Services.
Also, when you launch Management Studio and get the Connect to Server dialog, look in the "Server type" dropdown list. If "Analysis Services" is listed there, then you have it.
When I try to install the Reporting Services on a second node of a failover cluster, I get the following error message:
Existing clustered or cluster-prepared instance failed. The instance selected for installation is already installed and clustered on node 2.
But, we never installed it before. Does anyone have any ideas? This is on Windows 2008 server 64-bit.
Just one thing though. You have to install Reporting Services using the Enterprise Edition media and to avoid doing all kinds of nasty stuff to the Licensing the fail-over cluster also have to be Enterprise Edition.
If you try to do this using the SQL Server Standard media you will not be able to install SSRS to a "Shared Database" and the encryption information in the database created by instance #1 will be mercilessly blasted into oblivion.
This will result in instance 1 of SSRS not working while instance 2 (on the second server) is working. Trying to fix this will only flip the situation.
Personally i find this to be quite the bummer from Microsoft since it practically means that you have to weigh the cost of Enterprise Edition against HA-enabling Reporting Services.
So basically, you have to acquire Enterprise Edition if you do not want your Reporting Services to be the Single Point of Failure.
Apparently, SQL Server can be installed on each node on a failover cluster. The caveat is that it must be two separate installations with two different instance names. You can, however, share the same report server database. Please read this article for more information on deploying Reporting Services.

Consider this article on SSRS scale out process. Install the shared report server database on the cluster. Then install reporting services to use the shared database. Reporting services will not failover, but the database will.
This is an option to failover IIS: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/970759
