Team Foundation server beta3 trial note

After several days of hard workTFS B3 (Team Foundation server beta3)Install it on the machine. Think about how to avoid most problems during installation. The reason is that the installation is not in the correct order. Here, I want to help some people..

First, we need to introduce two URLs. (To installTFSYes )

1.Where the http://www.ssite.cn/forums/ downloads TFs B3. After registering an account, you will see the FTP address and password. (Not only does TSF have many of Microsoft's beta software. If you are interested, try it .)

2.Http://www.microsoft.com/china/msdn/library/langtool/vsts/TFSBeta3.mspxThe installation instructions of TFS B3 are very detailed. I followed them step by step. NoneArticleI cannot install it. (I have a repost on my blog. Of course, I recommend reading the original text. The only difference is that it is too slow.J)

Installation notes(This is because the installation instructions of Microsoft are described above.,The installation steps will not be detailed here.,This article only describes how to avoid detours during installation..-Actually, I am lazy.

1.FirstInstallation of the Active Directory is required, whether you believe it or not. (I am sorry. SQL Server 2005 and SharePoint have been installed. There is no way to uninstall them.L). After the installation, three users are required: tfssetup, tfsservice, and tfsreports. Therefore, it is not necessary to use these three user names instead. I will not try it, but it should be okay.

2.InstallSQL Server 2005

• before installing SQL Server 2005, check whether the machine is running. there are versions like express, it is best to uninstall it. to avoid future troubles.

• install . no fewer items. (I installed SQL Server 2005 in the Active Directory and couldn't uninstall it. I didn't expect this uninstallation to be four times. if anyone installs SQL Server 2005 first. before uninstalling SQL Server 2005, stop the SQL Server service and delete mssql.1 mssql.2 in the SQL Server Directory. then restart the machine. of course, this is just an idea. as long as you can ensure that there are no other SQL Server 2005 instances on the local machine .)
• after installation, make sure that all SQL Server 2005 services are started. in particular, the SQL Server Agent, SQL Server browser, and SQL Server VSS writer are disabled by default. in short, it is okay to start all services of SQL Server 2005. (then, someone is about to take the plunge. / span>

 

3.InstallThe methods and download URLs of SharePoint are described in detail in the above mentioned msdn article.Program. Or the next English Language Pack. very uncomfortable. It is better to download the English version. I believe that this problem will not occur again after the Chinese version is released. after installation, use Windows Update to automatically install a patch. note that patch installation is required. otherwise, you will not be installed.

4.After installationCheck it out after SharePointHttp: // localhost/reports http: // server/reportserver/reportservice. asmx. whether the two virtual directories can be accessed. If there is an error, you cannot access it. Congratulations, you have to reinstall it (SQL Server 2005 ,. sharePoint ). until it can be accessed. at that time, I had to install TFs three or four times.

5.InstallThere is nothing to say about the TFS process. the above description is very detailed, but the description seems to be missing, that is, the process of entering the report to access the database account. however, since three users only use two (tfssetup and tfsservice), I thought of tfsreports. then there will be no problem.

Postscript: Each person may have different problems during installation, but it should be difficult to install in sequence. But be patient. The installation process is really slow and sometimes it will not stop coming back.
