There has been a lot of effort put into the installation, configuration and management features of VSTS 2010. Since there are no bits to install, just the CTP, we can’t try this out at the moment, but this video shows a TFS 2010 installation.

My highlights:

  • No dependency on SharePoint (WSS) and Reporting Services at installation.
  • Single install, including Web Access, as part of the installation process.
  • MMC based administration console to provide a consolidated configuration in a single, familiar tool.
  • The administration console manages the configurations for multiple TFS instances.

Cheers
