• ECom.Net VSTS and MSDN Academic Alliance

  After doing some poking, proding and rethinking, we have refined our story with respect to VSTS and MSDN AA.  Recently I posted that VSTS is included in MSDN AA but only by request. We have decided to put the 180 day trial edition of VSTS on the MSDN AA web site and make it available to all MSDN AA members.  There will still be some TBD process to get registration keys to turn the trial edition into a "full" licensed product but w ...Show All

• javapilot Required Domain Accounts - why?

  Why does the single-server deployment installation require one to use separate accounts for VSTF I would much rather use the service account so that I don't have to change these passwords every 90 days (our policy). Do I really need these three accounts (TFSSetup, TFSService and TFSReports) for a single-server deployment Here's a scenario present in pretty much every threat model: "Attacker finds and exploits buffer overrun, runs code as ...Show All

• truittjl Anybody Actually Using Project with Team System?

  The link between Team System and Project is very limited. The Start Date in Project is static (if a developer starts a task early, Team System does not gather enough information for Project to change the Start Date to indicate this fact).  Although that doesn't sound significant... very quickly a plan will get out of date.  I realize that Agile focuses on "project velosity" rather than a large up-front plan.  The real ...Show All

• pflangan Why can't I merge two branches deriving from the same parent

  Hi there: I've been playing around TFS a bit in order to evaluate its suitability for our environment. One thing I don't quite understand is why I'm not able to merge two branches that are both coming from the same parent. To make this more clear, let's say I have release version 1.0 of the product and am working on a minor 1.1 release on a branch, while putting all the stuff towards the 2.0 in the original (main) line. I also branched off 1.0 t ...Show All

• jnvr Team Builds on Virtual Build Machines

  Hi I was wondering is anyone has set up the Team Build in a virtual environment... The Team Build Server (TBS) would receive all build requests from the Team Foundation Server (TFS). For each build request, its associated build machine is launched using Virtual PC. Once the virtual build machine is up, the TBS would spawn the MSBuild command on the actual virtual machine either through rcmd, rsh or somehow usi ...Show All
