Intermittently (and constantly at present) the builds fail with the message: TF209011: Could not create drop location \server\share\BuildName_20100729.6: The semaphore timeout period has expired.

I'm building VS2010 solutions on a TFS2008 build agent with VS2010 Ultimate installed; code compiles fine, and the tests all run fine, but when it comes to code coverage, nothing is being reported.

Hi all, According to here and here TFS 2010 does not allow multiple project collections to use a same Build Controller. Why? I'm going to setup some another more build controller as virtual machines.

I'm attempting to create a 3.5 build from a 4.0 set of code. It almost works the following msbuild options: /tv:3.5 /p:targetframeworkversion=v3.5.

One of our TFS 2010 requirements is to support software projects that still use Visual Studio Team System 2008 for development. My question is whether a Build Server based on Team Build 2010 can compile 2008 code by itself. I mean connecting to TFS 2010 using Visual Studio Team Suite 2008, which means we are planning to install the Forwa...
I'd like to set up a TFS 2008 build in a way that it runs on every check-in and also nightly. The thing is that I'd like to keep the output from the build only for the nightly builds (with the check-in builds only acting as verification). What is the best/suggested way of skipping the CoreDropBuild step conditionally? ...
