Hi there, I am part of a small team of developers (5-6) who all work on seperate smallish projects and each know our own projects inside out. Our management want us to learn each others systems so that we can update them should the other members be away on leave etc. To this end we want to use TFS2010 as we have already go all the ...

I've been looking into TFS2010 new build and deployment features with MSDeploy. So far everything is going well (although its been hard to find information about specific scenarios). Can I modify my Build Definition to specify 2 or more servers to deploy to? What I need to do is deploy to multiple servers (as I have two in my testing en...
Hello, can someone please tell me how I can get the changeset number, the current build of TFS 2010 was triggered for? I want to extend the build worklfow if the build was triggered by a checkin and want to do some more processing for which I need the changesetnumber of the changeset that was created by the checkin.

I've created a new Team Project in TFS, but when I try to add my solution to it I get: 'Failed to create mapping Cannot map server path, $/Finance/MyApp, because it is not rooted beneath a team project.' I can't find anything on google or here that looks remotely like this problem. ...
Hi, How can TFS 2010 improve my development process? For example, I use shelvesets to not lose checkin frequency but I can check in works in progress to shelvesets, thus not checking in code which breaks the build (check in gates help with this too). Is there anything else along these lines which helps improve the quality of projects? ...
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. But it seems somehow not practical. Because our company is going to have several project collections. Is it a good work-around? Is there a...
Not directly programming, but related: I'm using team explorer 2010 to connect to a 2010 TFS server (On a 2008R2 box), however when I try and connect, I get a red X on the project node and cannot expand it. There are not error messages or anything. Here is an image of what I am getting . I have the same exact setup on another system (ex...

Allow me to start by saying that this is a new and first time TFS deployment with 0 experience in Visual Studio as an added bonus. I've managed to get everything installed and am excited to say that I can even deploy as part of the build process to our different staging environments, but this is where things have gone south. I'm trying ...
We are currently experiencing significant waits in TFS database, and are trying to understand if these are as a consequence of the size of the tbl_Version version history table in the database. Currently this table contains just over 20 million records, and is taking up approximately 6GB of storage space (total index space is just over ...
We just upgraded to TFS 2010. We created a development branch for each project. If changes are made in Branch1 and then Branch1 is merged back into the baseline, it merges every file instead of just the changed files. Subsequent changes to files in Branch1 and then merging to the baseline result in only those changes being merged (which...
We are using internally TFS 2010 as source control repository for our .NET Projects. Some colleagues from other departments are asking us if we can provide them a system to version their files (binary or other files) not "source code" related and I was thinking if is possible to use and configure TFS 2010 to help them. Keep in mind the...
I'm trying to work out how to run xUnit tests from TFS 2010. I found some articles on how to achieve that with the older version (http://jonnekats.wordpress.com/2009/05/07/integrate-xunit-tests-into-your-daily-team-build/, http://weblogs.asp.net/mehfuzh/archive/2009/08/25/configuring-team-build-using-xunit.aspx). These approaches don't ...
We are using TFS Build 2010 for Builds. We have two branches of source code (Lets say branchA and branchB). Now as a part of the build definition we set the projects to build: Now to employ the same build definition from branchB will mean that I create another build definition file with same content, with only the items to build set t...
We are using TFS 2010 with gated checkins. I've got some question about what I think is strange behaviour. Look at the following process: File A is checked out by me exclusively. File A is changed File A is checked in TFS asks to build changes Build started File A is reverted locally to the old version Build succeeded Asks for reconcil...
Hi all, Is there any tutorial to show how can I use MSBuild tasks like FtpUploadDirectoryContent to copy file/directory to a remote host using FTP in Team Build 2010? I never used a MSBuild task in TFS 2010. ...
We are just getting started with TFS 2010 and migration from SVN and CruiseControl.NET to TFS. With cruisecontrol.NET we have a powershell script that does everything: copying, modifying, compressing files. Now my question is how we can integrate that script into the TFS build server? Modifying the solution or creating a custom msbuil...
When adding a work item to TFS 2010 via the SDK, the incidents are created using the same identity that was used to authenticate to the TFS server. In other applications providing defect tracker/work item support the API normally allows you to set a Reporter/ReportedBy/CreatedBy field, so you can make it appear as if the user your servi...
