Team Foundation Server 2010 installation, upgrade, information and more links

A blog run by the support folks from Microsoft, for TFS Setup/install related tips and tricks. - TFS 2010 RTM out soon !

“With Visual Studio 2010 release round the corner, here are some links that might interest you. While most of these links are from other blogs and sources, I have put together an overview of some changes that are essential to know.

To start with: Installation, made easy!

Yes, with TFS 2010 the installation is simple and effective. The installation has two phases

a) Installing the binaries

b) Configuring the server components.

In the first phase, the binaries are laid and then the ‘Team Foundation Server administration console’ launches the configuration wizard to configure the components. To know more about the installation experience and screen shots check our earlier blog by Romit: TFS 2010 Beta 2 installation first look! There had not been much change in the installation part between Beta2 and RC.

Upgrades, more flexible!

Upgrade is possible from TFS 2005 SP1, TFS 2008, TFS 2008 SP1 or TFS 2010 Beta. There are two types of upgrades supported, In-Place upgrade and Migration upgrade. To know more about upgrades and scenario specific guidance, read Bharry’s blog on upgrades and the upgrade guide posted by our VSTS rangers.
