Integrate BizTalk 2010 with remote SharePoint 2010 - sharepoint-2010

I would like to configure BizTalk 2010 with a SharePoint Server 2010 that is being run on another machine. This should be possible, but I have found no proper documentation about how to do it. The BizTalk machine is running its own SharePoint and its BizTalk integration works out well. What do I have to install on the remote SharePoint machine to enable the communication?
Microsoft provides instructions for doing this (see Multiserver deployment), but they do not answer my question. OK, I have to set the correct user permissions, but how about software?
Machine A Machine B
---------------------------- ------------------------
| BizTalk 2010 | | SharePoint Server 2010 |
| SharePoint adapter feature | <---> | ??? |
---------------------------- ------------------------
Do I have to:
Install the SharePoint Adapter feature on the SharePoint machine
This requires BizTalk AFAIK
Configure the adapter feature on the BizTalk server to use the remote SharePoint site
Do something else
Of course, I could use the SOAP adapter but that would be a lot of work.

AS2 support on BizTalk Server 2010

I am running into a scenario, where our client sends the data as EDIFACT file via AS2 protocol and we have hosted our web application in windows server 2003 R2 Standard edition.
Now we want to read the incoming EDIFACT file from our Client via Biztalk server
I googled and found Biztalk 2010 supports AS2 protocol, but we are forced to install biztalk 2006 R2 as we are running Windows server 2003
So could anybody tell me whether Biztalk server 2006 (R2) supports AS2 protocol? If no, then is there any alternative like patches or service pack?
Thanks in advance

Yes, BizTalk Server 2006 R2 supports AS2 out of the box.
There are some Tutorials you can use to understand how BizTalk Server supports AS2. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb259975(v=bts.20).aspx
Of course, I must recommend you use a more current version, BizTalk Server 2010 at least. BizTalk Server 2006 R2 is at or nearing the end of it's support lifecycle.

Configuring TFS - Advanced wizard

Perhaps this was asked before but I can't find a whole lot on this, so I would appreciate some help.
Our architecture is as follows: Win 7 desktop on a domain with VS 2010. MS Sql server R2 on Win Server 2008 R2 Ent; SharePoint 2007 on Win 2003; SharePoint 2010 on Win 2008 R2 Ent; Visual Sourcesafe on yet another separate Win Server 2008 R2 Ent server. On this server I have just installed TFS and was running Advanced Config Wizard.
As I'm new to TFS all my selected options are based on intuition and perhaps common sense but Reporting Services and SharePoint aren't working. With reporting services after I add my sql server name (and I've tried IP address and dns name) neither the Report Server URL nor Report Manager URL is populated. (Note: What do I need reporting services for anyway?)
So I've opted not to use reporting services, which as I said, I don't know what is the benefit of it.
Next, in the SharePoint configuration, I wanted to use the existing SharePoint farm which is installed on a separate servers. Testing the Site and Administration URLs would throw an error: "The following site could not be accessed. ... Either ... not installed the Team Foundation Server Extensions, or Firewall... "
I suspect it is not the firewall so then the TFS Extensions. Having search that topic as well seems to point back to the TFS's configuration, so I'm a completely at a loss.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Risho

Edited: I was looking at this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/dd631915.aspx but I don't have the options listed in the step-by-step solution. TFS Admin Console has this: Top tear - server name, below is Application Tear then Proxy Server, build Configuration and Logs. Expanding Application Tear shows Team Project Collections, SharePoint Web Applications, Reporting, and Lab Management.
You have to configure the SharePoint extensions on each SharePoint machine you wish to connect to TFS. Install TFS on whichever SharePoint machine (or both, if you plan to use both). In the configuration wizard, you should have the option to configure SharePoint Extensions. Once done, you should be able to re-run the readiness checks in the Advanced Wizard on your Application Tier machine.

Develop sharepoint software without having local sharepoint installation

Is there anyway to develop sharepoint projects without having sharepoint server installed locally. I have a sharepoint server running at my work and vs2010 installed locally. I want to be able to test my projects on the server.
You develop them locally but without SharePoint installed you cant test them. Microsoft Offers no free version of SharePoint Server, so you have to be able to use a licensed copy of SharePoint to test on it. I just use a Remote Desktop Connection to connect to my DEV machine that has SP installed on and Visual Studio. I then develop my app then test, and then it gets deployed to our SharePoint Farm.
Yes, it is possible. You just need to build wsp and then deploy it on a SharePoint server. I hope, this links will help you:

How to install Excel Services on Sharepoint 2010 Enterprise Client Access License?

I have a farm installation of Sharepoint 2010 Server with Enterprise Client Access License. I want to publish an excel workbook to a document library on my site, but I am unable to do so. When I go to Central Admin -> Manage Service Applications, I do not see a service application for Excel Services and its not available under the New menu there either. Kindly let me know how to install Excel Services on my Server.
Make sure you have SharePoint 2010 Server and not SharePoint 2010 Foundation.
