Hi Erik,

You can definitely use the trial version of TFS 2010 as an intermediate server. You can download the TFS 2010 binaries from the msdn site and install it. Without a key, it functions as a trial version for 180 days.

Upgrade TFS 2005 databases to TFS 2010 Trial version server.

Then you can move the TFS 2010 databases to upgrade to TFS 2012.

Let me know if this data helps.

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for pointing out this question. On a discussion with the products team, it was confirmed that these services are to be enabled as long as we install and configure the TFS Build services. Once the configuration is done, the TFS build service becomes self-sufficient and will not need these set ot services any more. These set of services can be disabled.

The changes will be made accordingly on this blog soon.

Let me know if this information helps.

Thanks,

Abhilash Owk

Hi Bob,

Download the install file for the Update 2 from the location www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx .

Run the file. It will install the update and will be running the upgrade wizard to finish upgrading the databases to Update 2 level.

Let me know if this helps.

Reagrds,

Can you provide information as to why TFS requires these services to be running and where I can find the official documents showing the dependencey. My enterprise IT policy requres these services to be disabled meaning I need to show justification and explain why they are needed.

I have a license for the TFS 2005 Workgroup and I want to migrate to 2012 Express which I also have a license for. But I don't have a license and bits for TFS 2010 or TFS 2008. So how do I get from 2005 to 2012? Is there a trial 2010 somewhere I can download?

I followed the entire procedure an have a working system, but the imported collection still points to the old database server (TFS2008 server) . I want to retire the old server.

How can I move the old database to the new server that hosts TFS2010?

I have this setup for a TFS proxy (2 servers). However, looking at the perf logs on both proxies, we see that there is 70% - 30% utilization between the servers. I was hoping for more closer to 50-50. The server with the 70% is slammed. I am going to be adding a 3rd proxy into the mix to see what happens.
