A quick post on a useful tool on codeplex. If you ever need to bulk-load multiple reports onto your TFS SQL reporting services, I recommend using the RSS explorertool. With this tool you can select a local folder that will update all reports on SSRS. This is much better than having to manually upload every report one at a time.

Once you install the tool, you will simply have to add a connection or edit the localhost connection; for example; http://<server name>/ReportServer/ReportService2005.asmx

We used this to apply the KB969210for the TFS 2008 reports for agile and CMMI that have issues with SQL 2008 reporting services (the KB is now available for download, you no longer need to call MS support). If you have many team projects, it make the process to implementing the fix very easy.
