Vsts-teamfoundationserver Installation Experience

There were a lot of problems with previous version control and coworker collaboration, and recently there were new projects, so the research team decidedprocess using Microsoft's VSTS (Visual Studio Team System) Management . Microsoft has launched VSTS to address various issues of division and collaboration among developing teams, based on the MSF (Microsoft Solution Framework). But the tool is the tool, the key is our development process management to standardize.
When installing VSTS Server Team Foundation Server encountered a lot of BT problems, write out that we can avoid a lot of detours.
Team Foundation server is divided into single Server and dual server, single server is the data tier andThe application tier is on the same machine, the dual server is separate from the application tier and the data tier, but the dual server must be a computer that joins an Active Directory domain, and a single server can be a workgroup user. We chose a single server type, support 20 people below the small team level, machine configuration requirements are Cpu2.2ghz Pentium4 or Athlon, Operating system must be an SP1 windows2003 standard version above (if you use pirated windows2003 many are not able to play SP1, so be sure to hit the SP1), Ram needs 1G, the hard disk to have 8G of usable space. If you want to support a larger number of team machine configurations, see the Installation manual for TFS.
TFS needs SQL server2005 (Standard or Enterprise) for Team Foundation Server andThe database backend for Windows SharePoint Services, and SQL Server requires a patch, that is, kb914595, which is available on the installation CD. Need framwork2.0 to hit the KB913363 patch, which is also available on the CD (I'm using the Microsoft downloaded TFS installation mirror). You will also need Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 with Service Pack 2, which I downloaded from the Microsoft website and you can go to www.microsoft.com/downloads/ Details.aspx Search SharePoint, remember to use a SP2. Of course, I still need the windows2003+sp1 mentioned above.
The general installation process is to install the operating system windows2003 (nonsense), give it to play SP1 patch (remember to install IIS, the default operating system is not installed; 8080 ports should be used for the following so if the system is not installed, it is best to ensure that 8080 ports are not occupied by IIS) ; then install SQLserver2005, must be more than standard version, and must be the default instance, and all services should be installed, all services will be installed after installation, and then SHAREPOINT+SP2, select Server Farm (server farm) at installation , after installation, open the team fundation server's mirrored files, install the two upgrade patches, is the previous SQL Server and Framwork upgrade patch. After the patch, create a new two of ordinary users, the installation process need to use. Then you can go to the setup of TFS. Installation TFS must be performed using the Administrators group user. Select Single Server mode after installation starts and the installer will check if your system meets the requirements Software does not comply will not continue,The hardware is not compliant to continue the installation. If the front is the same as required, the normal installation is complete.
The client can install VS2005, install Team Explorer, and select the plug-in Visual Studio Team Foundation Server in VS2005 Tool-option-source control. When you create a new team project, you need to add the machine name to the local resolution list in the foundation Server, and add one line to the hosts file in the SYSTEM32/DRIVERS/ETC directory: the machine name IP address.
Now that the basic VSTS has been installed successfully, we can experience it. Hope that we can better use the VSTS management development process, to make better Products .
