I am currently in the middle of a TFS 2010 multi-server installation and have the following questions: should i go with the default installation of having tfs sit on http://server:8080/tfs as i would probably prefer http://server/ or http://server:8080 I can't seem to find the best practice for which user i should use to remotely conne...
Hi all, I recently set up a sandbox TFS to test TFS-specific features without interfering with the production TFS. I was happy I did this sooner than I thought--I hadn't been backing up the encryption key from SSRS and upon restoring the reporting databases, they remained inactive, requiring initialization that could only come from appl...
My team is moving to TFS 2010, but all of our old projects are from our stand alone VS 2005 and VS 2008. We did not have Team Server. Can put our projects under source control in TFS 2010 without upgrading and migrating them? ...
Hi, I've been tipping my toes in Visual Studio Add-In development. I've read some of the tutorials online, and studied some of the sample code provided. Now I actually want to perform custom actions before/after a TFS check-in command is called by the user, but I can't seem to figure out where I can find a hook to start this. Is there s...
Hi guys, i have installed TFS 2010 in a 2 server setup with an App Tier server and a SQL Server and am not 100% happy with the performance. Both are running in VM's on SAN disks and have been given the following virtual hardware each: Windows 2008 R2 1 CPU @ 2.8Ghz 2gb RAM what should i lift - neither machine is hammered but both d...
Is is possible to import work items from excel or some other data source to TFS 2010? ...
The way I have setup TFS for our team is to have branches per environment. Contained within this project is multiple applications and libraries that logically group together. $/TfsProjectA/Development/Source/WebApps/WebApplicationA $/TfsProjectA/Development/Source/WebApps/WebApplicationB $/TfsProjectA/Development/Source/Libraries...
Our development team is making the move to TFS 2010 from VSS. The company has an existing Sharepoint 2007 installation. My understanding is that TFS can be integrated with Sharepoint. I have a couple of questions concerning this new TFS installation: Please confirm that Sharepoint is NOT a prerequisite for a TFS installation and T...
Hi all! We need to be able to simultanously maintain a set of different versions of our system. I assume this is best done using branching. We currently use TFS2008 for source control, work items and automatic builds. What is the best version control solution for this task? Our organization is in the process of merging to TFS2010. Wil...
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Pro against Team Server 2010 and I had my project opened (apparently) as a solution from the repo, but I should've opened it as "web site". I found this out during compile, so I went to shelve my new changes and deleted the project from my local disk, then opened the project again from source (this time as we...
Hi, We have a TFS2008 server with multiple team projects (about 20) What is the best way to migrate to TFS2010 without losing the history. I believe there are 2 ways, correct me if I'm wrong: installing a fresh tfs2010 and importing the DB from TFS 2008 or in-place upgrade. What is your recommendation and why? Are there any issue I ...
Can anyone shed any light on how the CoreCompile task in TFS2010 (RC) Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build targets generates the assembly references that are passed to csc.exe? We are seeing references to both version 2.0 and 4.0 of System.Xml.dll (shown in bold below), however we are using the 'Specific Version: true' flag on the project as...
Hi Guys, We need to be able to deploy a couple of windows services to the remote machine as a part of a build. This is a nightly build which deploys the whole application to the TEST environment so it has to be automated somehow. For the Web project MSDeploy can be used, as well as for the DB servers. But what about windows services? T...
I have a .NET 4 website in VS2010 stored in a TFS 2010 team project. I need to add a reference to System.Data.Linq.dll to the website. I am referencing a LINQ DataContext that is defined in another project and I get build errors saying that I need the reference to System.Data.Linq. I go up to the "Add Reference" menu option and add it...

I installed TFS 2010 just to test, and I have no experience with previous versions. Now, the problem is that I have just created some New Bugs items but when I run the Report "Bug Status" they are not shown. Are these reports created and cached at certain interval of time? Is there a setting that I can change to force the creation of a...
I am using TFS 2010 Team Build and the related reporting services report Build Summary. Within this report is a Code Churn column. However, the data displayed in this column isn't making any sense to me. In my application I have roughly 10,000 lines of code (it's a fairly new app). However, the code churn gives me a number 57791. Ca...
I want to set the maximum work item attachment size. From old blogs I have found that it is possible by calling SetMaxAttachmentSize, but the blogs are for older versions of TFS. I have found the new webservice path for TFS 2010. http://localhost:8080/tfs/_tfs_resources/WorkItemTracking/v1.0/ConfigurationSettingsService.asmx/SetMaxAttac...
I'm trying to publish test results to TFS2010 using MSTest's /publish parameters. MSTest says that the publish was successful, and looking at the SQLServer tables, data for the test has been uploaded. However, the test results do no appear in the TFS Build reports. If I use TFS to run MSBuild via the default build template, the results...
When we install on a 32-bit server, we get the option to install the proxy server, but installing on an x64 only gives us the option to install the build service. Does TFS 2010 Server Proxy support Windows 2003 64-bit? ...
