I see a "due date" in one of the screenshots above (Open Issues Web Part). I am unable to set a due date on any of my tasks! How can I enable due dates?

After reading Part 1 I got some of my question answered: Some basic canned reports available in WSS 3.0 (and SharePoint 2010 Foundation I assume) but "No Excel Services". My refined question is if Excel Reports are still available on the SharePoint site what is missing or cannot be done with WSS 3.0 because of no "Excel Services"?

Quote from Part1: "If you don’t have SharePoint Server in your deployment or you choose to integrate TFS with WSS/SharePoint Foundation then you still get a set of dashboards with reports and Team Web Access web parts. The reports on these dashboards are SQL Server Reporting Services reports written in Report Definition Language (RDL), so they are not as easy to customize as the Excel reports. The Excel Reports are still available on the SharePoint site, but you don’t get the light up experience since Excel Services isn’t available"

Hi Sunder,

Can you add more detail on this MOSS/WSS reporting distinction for TFS (or Sharepoint Foundation vs. Sharepoint Server 2010)?

This is a major purchasing decision for my team and I can't find a side-by-side comparison of these feautures.

Shawn,

For the stuff you see on this page, MOSS is required. TFS can integrate with WSS or MOSS but you get a richer dashboard experience with MOSS. You still get a dashboard experience if you integrate TFS with WSS, but it's not as rich or easy to customize as the MOSS dashboards.

Is MOSS 2007 needed or recommended in this scenario? I am working to get MOSS in the door but we also have an effort with TFS 2010, and currently use WSS, but I am trying to understand how these would play together. Thanks.

Bob,

While we work on the documentation, one of my colleagues has a blog post on configuring SharePoint 2010 for TFS: http://blogs.msdn.com/team_foundation/pages/configuring-sharepoint-server-2010-beta-for-dashboard-compatibility-with-tfs-2010-beta2-rc.aspx

Hope this helps,

Sunder

Hi Bob,

By compatibility procedure, I think you are referring to configuring SharePoint 2010 for TFS. While we have documentation for configuring 2007 available on MSDN already, the docs specifically for 2010 are still being worked on and we expect to have them available shortly after RTM.

Hi Sunder,

The dashboard compatibility procedure for MOSS 2007 is pretty involved. I need the TFS SharePoint Server dashboard for SharePoint Serber 2010. What's the compatibility procedure? I'm not a SharePoint expert.

Thanks! Bob
