• Jack Vaughan Do we get any CAL with TFS Standard?

  According to Rob Caron's post, ( http://blogs.msdn.com/robcaron/archive/2006/03/16/553121.aspx ), Workgroup edition will only give us 5 licences, and if I have 15 developers, all with MSDN licences, I will have 15 licences for TFS server, but I still have to purchase TFS Standard edition in order to have all 15 of my developers access the same server. Sure seems like there should be a better way to do this. Like, for instance, everyone who buys ...Show All

• never_again VSTS Speed

  So far I have been very disappointed with the speed of VSTS.  Whenever I run projects locally everything is fairly smooth.  However, once I connect to Team Foundation and check something in the entire app seems to do nothing for long periods of time.  I checked the CPU, Memory, and Network on the client the App/Data PC.  They all look like they are doing nothing.  If I wait for an hour... suddenly everything checks in.& ...Show All

• doubty How to undelete items from Source Control?

  I have been trying to get Team System up and running to gather experience for the "real thing" in November. Now one of the major things is of course Source Control. I have checked in several things and then deleted a few. Now, I'd like to undelete some of those. However, I can't seem to find a way to do so. I can still see the files when I do a "Get Specific Version", but how do I actually get them back into the current version ...Show All

• KeithFranklin What is a minimum install to get code coverage and profiler?

• Divider Project creation problem

  OK I'm probably being dense here. Installation is a single server with reporting services, sharepoint, SQL all running. I can get to the relevant pages. The client can see the server and ping it over the network. Both are in a W2K3 domain and the DC is running SP1 as is the VSTF Server. tfssetup and tfsservice are both local admins and domain admins so should have all the necessary permissions. I'm logged in using the tfssetup account (tried als ...Show All

  This may be a FAQ. I have just installed the release version VS2005 Team Tester and am trying to record a web test script.
