• BrandonP TFS time info

  How do I get the TFS time from a client I tried using the TFS object but all I could get was the time zone info of the server and not the actual server time. Sure Buck! We have an amazing development environment, some developers sit in US and some others in India.  We have the server(s) in India, we need to define a custom policy that prevents using from checking-in files for a specific time period (ideally be based on the TFS t ...Show All

• soum31995 user Tfs* Stored procs-can't open them

  We've got Tfs on SQL Server 2005. My login is sa. I can right-click, then hit modify on system stored procedures to look at/modify the code. However, the 'modify' option is grayed out when right-clicking on any user stored procedure in any database starting with Tfs. Is this by design because it's probably part of the application setup/install I'm only curious because one of the stored procedures, tfsintegration.prc_OptimizeTfsDatabases, is fail ...Show All

• JulioCampos Solution to Error 28936 TFServerStatusValidator 404

  So, I ran across the following error installing TFS on a client's server, and finally managed to create a workaround, so I though I'd share. For staters, we had to use a non-default port (8888) becuase they already have an application running on 8080, which couldn't be changed. So, I dutifully changed the MsiProperty.ini file to specify the new port. And about 90% of the way through the installation, I encountered this error: Error 28936 ...Show All
