Brian,

Just wondering, you make no mention of compatibility issues with the New Team Project creation wizard... I had an issue last week with TFS 2008 Beta 2, where the WSS task failed because of a language ident problem in the WSS Admin web service.

Details of the problem I saw are exactly the same as that detailed at http://bloggingabout.net/blogs/mglaser/archive/2006/12/08/Upgrade-TFS-V1-to-WSS-3.0-Guide.aspx, under the section titled "Change the WSS Admin Webservice".

Has this been targeted for resolution prior to RTM?

Thanks

Mark

Re: Project Creation Wizard compatibility between the Team Explorer 2005 client and the TFS 2008 server.

This may sound a bit nitpicky but it actually isn't a compatability problem between the TFS client and the TFS server. It is a problem with the way the old client works with Sharepoint that causes it not to work for WSS 3.0. If your Orcas server were to use WSS 2.0 (not that many will), it would work fine.

There is nothing we can do in our Orcas release to "fix" it because the problem is in the TFS 2005 client. We have released a patch for the 2005 client that enables this. So with the patch, the 2005 client will work fine with WSS 3.0 (regardless of whether you are using a 2005 or a 2008 server).

Confusing? Sorry about that.

re: Final TFS 2008 Feature List

bharry — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 23:26:20 GMT

Well, yes and no. Yes, you can upgrade your WSS from WSS 2.0 to 3.0 and TFS will work with it. No, we don't consider that as part of your TFS upgrade. We upgrade TFS from 2005 -> 2008 and after that, you can upgrade your WSS from 2.0 -> 3.0 using the WSS upgrade capability.

"Can you make the UU power tool available in the VS UI? Would love if I was prompted to undo an non-modified files automatically when I check in."

Sorry it took me so long - I've been thinking about how I want to answer this. The short answer is maybe :)

The longer answer is this. Mostly that feature is less useful than you might at first imagine. In TFS, when you check in and you include files that have not been changed, those files are not included in the change set - TFS undoes them instead. So in essence, the UU command is already built into checkin.

The reason we built the UU command in the first place (in the Power Tools) is that we use a "pre-checkin validation system" we call Gauntlet. When using it with TFS, you shelve your changes and you submit the shelveset for checkin processing.

The problem is what happens to your local changes while you are waiting? Well, most people prefer to keep their local changes while they wait. After the checkin has completed, we use the tfpt uu command to "sync up" our local workspace with the server - undoing all of the changes that have just been checked in.

In our Rosario release, we are planning a gauntlet like feature that we are calling "Gated Checkin". As part of that feature, we are going to have to do something about solving the tfpt uu problem. We haven't closed on what that is, but one possibility is making a full fledged part of the product. Another possibility is that we'll think of an even better solution :)

Does this make sense? How do you use tfpt uu?

Brian

I am planning on using a SQL Named Instance with TFS to keep TFS stuff seperate. I am a little concerned that TFS extras such as these...

TFS Administration Tool

Event Subscription Tool

Team System Web Access

.. will still work with a named instance, is there any reason for concern? I haven't used named instances before.

Thanks

re: Final TFS 2008 Feature List

bharry — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 21:23:15 GMT

If you are using TFS 2008, then you should not have any problems. We've tested it with named instances. If you hit any problems then it's a bug and we'd want to fix it.

If you are using TFS 2005, that's a different story. Named instances were not supported in TFS 2005 and although there were some hacks to get it to work I can't assure you that the ancillary tools would all work.

Brian,

Can TFS 2008 be installed on a 64-bit OS. From what I recall TFS 2005 middle tier was not supported in a 64 bit environment

re: Final TFS 2008 Feature List

bharry — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 14:53:08 GMT

I am sad to say that TFS 2008 still does not support the 64-bit environment. My best suggestion is that you run it in a 32-bit VM if you must run it on a 64-bit machine.

I've seen some community commentary that it's shocking that this is the case. I have to say I feel terrible about it. 64 bit support was originally on our plan for TFS 2008 but we got into a resource crunch and some stuff had to go. It was either that or start cutting the work to support additional configurations - named instances, port flexibility, separate sharepoint farm support, etc. We ultimately (right or wrong) decided that of those things native 64-bit support was the least important of them to customers.

64-bit is back on our Rosario plan and I'm confident that it won't get cut this time.

re: Final TFS 2008 Feature List

Thorsten — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 10:01:50 GMT

Hello Brian,

we are working for some companies who are using subversion and we can not introduce the TFS in this companies because of their internal politics. As a result we have to use their subversion. We would be able to work on our prefererd system if we got the possibility to synchronize/mirror svn with our TFS. So my strong preference is subversion.

Yes. As long as those components run on different machines (virtual or physical), they can be 64-bit. We run with 64-bit SQL and AS.

re: Final TFS 2008 Feature List

bharry — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 15:41:08 GMT

I understand that some customers don't have software assurance and have to make a call on whether the upgrade is worth the cost. I'm happy to leave it to the community to ultimately weigh in on whether or not it is worth it but I urge you not to dismiss it too quickly. Although Orcas is a "small" release for TFS, it's still a pretty big release. It's probably got 120 man years or more of work in it (beyond TFS 2005). Yes, that's a lot of improvements.

Further, we made the upgrade process as quick, easy and seamless as possible. I believe that if you upgrade, you will find it to ultimately be a wise decision. Yes, Rosario is in the works and yes we have started shipping CTPs. I'm not going to take bets on whether or not we will be shipping a Beta within a year. However, we're a pretty long way from releasing a Rosario build that I'd feel comfortable advising people to put in production.

StevenIBSI — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 19:00:18 GMT

I completed the TFS 2008 installation which mostly went well but I and am having some trouble involving SharePoint.

I am trying to use the Team Foundation Server Administratin Tool (http://www.codeplex.com/TFSAdmin) with TFS 2008. I did a clean installatin of TFS 2008 and selected "Install and configure Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 on this computer" and selected the "Use Team Foundation Server service account.

After creating a new team project which completed normally I tried to use the Admin tool to add a new user to the project. The TFS and Reporting Services Actions complete with a Status of Passed but all of the SP tier actions show status Failed. The same error shows in the comment for each failed item "Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.". I am running the Admin tool on the TFS server logged in as TFSSetup.

In Team Explorer 2008 running on the server logged in as TFSSetup I am able to download and upload documents. From my workstation logged in as myself the document folder under my team project has a red x.

The 2005 version of the TFS Administrtors guide has a topic, How to: Set Administrator Permissions for Windows SharePoint Services which no longer seems to match the Sharpoint 3.0 version of Central Administrator. Is there a revised version of the Administrator's guide help file?

I did find a page in SharePoint Central Admin titled "Permissions: Central Administration" and the TFSSetup account is listed as a User with Full Control.

Did I miss some steps involving SharePoint Services?

Also, during the setup I was never prompted at any time to enter the TFSReports account, is that no longer needed for 2008? Because it was still listed in the Use Accounts Required for Installation (Beta 2) topic of the chm.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

re: Final TFS 2008 Feature List

No, TFS 2008 versions of the Power Tools have not been released yet. All of the non-VS integrated ones will continue to work. The process template editor, checkin policies and the like will not. We plan on releasing TFS 2008 compatible Power Tools later this fall.

Yes, checkin policies will generally need to be recompiled. Alternately, you can try setting assembly binding options in devenv.exe.config to redirect bindings to the TFS 2008 assemblies.

Bharry,

Looking for any documentation I can find regarding migrating current Product Studio test case management functionality into TFS (both manual and automated). For example, one thing that's missing in TFS is the ability to maintain records of test case results which PS currently supports.

Also, what does the VS team currently recommend for migrating test cases from PS (and, what more importanty what are the recommendations for setting-up the process templates for this)? That is, before the Rosario release ...

I realize we're moving into a much different paradigm than Product Studio. But I'm looking for any and all information that would assist us. Also, I'm more than happy to volunteer our team (a mid-size, SOA environment) as guinea pigs if that kind of direct feedback would help you folks.

TFS 2008 integration with MOSS

Todd Girvin — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 02:59:12 GMT

I have MOSS 2007 running on Server 2008. When installing TFS 2008 beta 2 on Server 2003, I try to connect it to my existing MOSS installation but get an error stating: account is not authorized to access the WSS site.

I have explicitly added Domain Admins permission to the site and the MOSS services site, even though it shouldn't need it. It still doesn't work.

Has anyone connected TFS to MOSS on Server 2008? Are there special security setting on Server 2008 to allow it? I had to disable the firwall for Domain computer access just to get this far.

buckh — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 03:56:47 GMT

Jason, you would need to set the MaxProcesses key to a value greater than 1 in tfsbuildservice.exe.config. See http://blogs.msdn.com/buckh/archive/2007/07/20/tfs-2008-build-agent-configuration-options.aspx for more info on turning it on. Note that you'll need to restart the build Windows service after changing the .config file in order for the change to take effect.

The MSBuild team blog is probably the best source of info on how multi-proc msbuild works (it actually uses multiple msbuile.exe instances).

Ra, re: email notifications. I wouldn't say we have a roadmap for that right now. We have a list of enhancements we want to make to email notifications. There's some possibility they will make it into our next version but possibly not.

A single change can notify many people, however, the issue is that it has to be a static subscription and isn't based on user names associated in the work item. You could, however, use the area path or other attribute to filter email notifications to different users. Our UI doesn't support configuring these kinds of subscriptions out of the box but there are some CodePlex projects that enable this kind of thing.

Hi,

In the RTM release if we were to install reporting services and the data-tier on a different box to the application-tier, would we need SQL on the application-tier at all ?

Cheers,

re: Final TFS 2008 Feature List

bharry — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 22:27:58 GMT

In TFS 2005, you can't install reporting services on a different box. TFS requires that it be on the AT. In TFS 2008, you can install Reporting Services on a different box.

Sharepoint also uses SQL but it can use SQL on a different box.

I think that's it on the AT.

We unfortunately need to rebuild the server our TFS2005 installation is on. Is there a documented way for us to run a complete backup of our TFS2005 installation, and then restore the data to a clean install of TFS2008?

re: Final TFS 2008 Feature List

Bill Essary [MSFT] — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 04:27:18 GMT

The TFS 2005 databases are touched during the upgrade process, so a direct restore of TFS 2005 DBs to a TFS 2008 system is not a supported path. One option would be to upgrade to your TFS 2005 server and then backup the upgraded DBs before rebuilding it. That would leave you with TFS 2008 DBs that you could restore to a clean TFS 2008 system. In any case, if "rebuild the server" actually means that TFS will be moving to a new machine, then you will want to take a look at the MSDN topic "How to: Move Your Team Foundation Server from One Hardware Configuration to Another".

MSBuild can only read solution files between versions 7.0 and 9.0, inclusive.

3) I have VS 2005 and 2008 on my machine. I have installed both the 2005 Team Explorer and the 2008 Team Explorer. The 2008 TE works, the 2005 no longer works. Any ideas?

Any help would be appreciated.

The problem is that we are unable to upgrade our current TFS2005 installation due to some issues with reporting services not working on the machine.

The only resolution we have found thus far is to completely reinstall SQL but then that will cause issue with the current TFS2005 install.

AlexeyYumashin — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 09:29:58 GMT

Brian, several questions:

1. Is Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite fully compatible with TFS 2008? can we still compile FW 2.0 projects?

2. Is the "TFS MSSCCI Provider" compatible with TFS 2008? It's very important for us because we need to use TFS Version Control from under Visual Studio 6.0 as well.

Thank you.

Sorry, I was not very attentive

AlexeyYumashin — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 09:43:56 GMT

Sorry, I haven't noticed the Compatibility section. I see that VS 2005 must be fully compatible with TFS 2008... that's nice... but you write:

4. VS2005 will be able to start a build, but it can’t queue a build, see the list of builds in the queue, see the list of build agents, etc.

Can you suggest a workaround?! One of the main reasons we decided to purchase TFS 2008 (and not 2005) - is the ability to queue team builds.

re: Final TFS 2008 Feature List

bharry — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 15:55:12 GMT

Yes, Team Suite 2005 is compatible with TFS 2005 although there are minor caveats of things that aren't supported. I detailed most of them in this post.

Yes, the TFS 2005 MSSCCI provider is compatible with TFS 2008 and the TFS 2008 MSSCCI provider is compatible with TFS 2005. The only difference is which version of the Team Explorer is required on the client.

Brian

re: Final TFS 2008 Feature List

bharry — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 15:57:04 GMT

The only thing I can think of is to install Team Explorer 2008 side by side on your client and use it to queue builds. Alternatively, I suppose, you could use the new Team Build object model to write your own client that will queue builds.

Brian

Thank you

AlexeyYumashin — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 18:23:53 GMT

Thank you for the answers!

Now I know we can purchase the 2008 version.

One question more, if you don't mind. It is related to Team Build. I've already lost hope to find an answer via Google:

What does the standard CoreGet task do behind the scenes? I need to override it and don't want to miss something important. But can't find any info about that.

re: Final TFS 2008 Feature List

buckh — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 20:43:08 GMT

In 2008, there's less need to override CoreGet because there are more properties to control how it works compared to 2005.

To see the target, you'll need to look at C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\TeamBuild\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.targets. That's the main targets file used by Team Build, and it is imported at the top of each tfsbuild.proj file.

If you look at the file and search for CoreGet, you'll see how it works.

What are you trying to do? You may not need to override it (overriding Core* is discouraged because future releases may change the implementation of Core* targets).

Buck

re: Final TFS 2008 Feature List

AlexeyYumashin — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 08:26:16 GMT

Hi Buck,

Thanks for the feedback.

Of course I've seen the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Targets file already. I just wonder if there's smth. one should know about how the Get task works inside. I'll be happy to suppose that it just calls Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client.Workspace.Get(), but it's better to be sure :)

When speaking of the CoreGet override, I'm actually assuming the SkipGet+AfterGet scenario. I don't want to override CoreGet itself, of course.

As far as I'm developing a complete build solution for VB6 projects, I need to consider such thing as "binary compatibility". This leads me to the necessity to perform "get latest" for the sources and "get previous" (or "get by label") for COM-binaries. So I can't just use the default logic.

Thank you.

And one question more...

AlexeyYumashin — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 09:05:26 GMT

Is the VSSConverter command-line utility capable of importing VSS 6.0d data to the _2008_ version of TFS?

I've successfully used this utility to migrate to TFS 2005, but at its page (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms253090(VS.80).aspx) there's no "System Requirements" or "Compatibility" section, so one can't say for sure will it work with 2008 version or not.

Thank you.

re: Final TFS 2008 Feature List

bharry — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 15:56:40 GMT

Yes, importing from VSS 6.0d to TFS 2008 should work.

Brian

re: Final TFS 2008 Feature List

buckh — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 22:27:17 GMT

Alexey, yes, it does use the version control OM, and the method in it you specified to do the get.

Given your description, it sounds like you could keep the default get, and then just override AfterGet to get the older versions of the particular files for the COM binaries.

Buck

re: Final TFS 2008 Feature List

AlexeyYumashin — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 10:42:00 GMT

You're right: I can do as you say. There'll be a traffic overhead, however - because COM binaries will be downloaded twice.

Hi Bharry,

I understand that current version of TFS 2008 doesn't support 64 Bit environment, but SQL Server 2005 and WSS 3.0/MOSS 2007 has already supported for 64 Bit. So, we already plan our server to use 32Bit server for TFS 2008, and WSS 3.0/MOSS 2007 and Database (SQL 2005) in 64 bit environment. The installation for TFS 2008 (with SQL 2005 and WSS 3.0) has been succesfully done, but as required in the Installation Guide to install Windows Sharepoint Services Extension (if the WSS is on separate machine), we face error when installing this component. The error just mention "Windows Sharepoint Services needs to be installed on this machine". However, the WSS is running already on the machine. I suspect that because the server is in 64 bit environment, the 32 bit installer failed to detect the WSS. But, it's just my thought. Do you have any idea how to work around/solve this error? Your advice is appreciated.

re: Final TFS 2008 Feature List

Abdelhamid Abdou — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 18:53:37 GMT

In Order to install Team Foundation Server with AS on a separate server or instance you will need to follow the following steps

1- Copy the AT Setup folder to the local machine

2- Remove the Read Only flag from msiproperty.ini file

3- Open msiproperty.ini in notepad

4- You Can provide the AS instance to be used by assigning the value VSTF_AS_INSTANCE

So you can use VSTF_AS_INSTANCE=<Server name> or VSTF_AS_INSTANCE=<Server name>\<instance name> in case of named instance

5- Save the msiproperty.ini

6- run setup from this folder

Hi Brian

* I can't see what the new Check-out lock "Unchanged - Keep any existing lock" does? It seems to have the same effect as "None".

* The refresh of the SCE doesn't seem to do it automatically, when a lock on a file has changed outside the VS IDE. You have to do it manually on the Refresh button. Is that the intention? It worked that way also in VS2005.

regards

///Jørn

re: Final TFS 2008 Feature List

bharry — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 19:39:55 GMT

Actually, the two options are not identical, but I agree we don't need them both and pointed that out in a UI review of changes for our next version. "Unchanged" will preserve the current lock state on the file. "None" will clear any existing lock on the file. I have a hard time imagining anyone who really wants to clear existing locks as part of a checkout. If you want to do that, there's an "Unlock" menu option.

This is the second time in as many days that someone has said something about the pending change status being out of date so I'm worried there may be an issue but before I have someone go investigate, let me explain what's supposed to happen and then we can compare that to what you are seeing.

If you use any interface to TFS (Team Explorer, Command line, MSSCCI provider, Object model, etc) to change the pending change state of any file (checkout, check in, lock, etc) then all instances of the Team Explorer on that machine are supposed to automatically update to reflect the change. Other machines are not automatically updated - those users will need to press the Refresh button.

One thought that occurs to me is that you may be referring to something different. When you say "lock on a file has changed outside the VS IDE", is it possible that you are referring to the read-only state rather than the TFS checkout/checkin lock? I'm not aware of us displaying the read-onlyness of a file anywhere so I'm not sure how refresh would help you but I may be missing something.

Brian

Is there guidance on using MOSS 2007 with TFS 2008? How should an organization with both these tools make the most use out of them? Is there any additional value to making TFS use MOSS 2007 for its WSS 3 sites? Or is it enough just to let MOSS crawl an existing TFS installation?

re: Final TFS 2008 Feature List

bharry — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 14:42:24 GMT

I don't think we have any guidance. We support MOSS 2007. MOSS 2007 has some great features over the base Sharepoint. At the moment, we don't explicitly take advantage of any MOSS features but if you use MOSS as your TFS portal, you can create a better portal. In the future, we may add specific integration with MOSS.

With no x64 support for the core TFS 2008 bits we'll have a real problem once Windows Server 2008 R2 ships as it *only* supports x64. Other apps can straddle the platform divide just fine. The push towards an all x64 server environment has been known for quite some time (first hearing about it with Exchange Server 2007 a couple of years ago). I would be surprised if you didn't have any knowledge of this with the common engineering specs inside Microsoft.

If it couldn't have been addressed in time for RTM I would expect an SP/R2 release that would have. Asking people to upgrade to TFS 2010 to gain support will put a block in the road of IT folks who want to roll out Windows Server 2008 R2 on their own timelines. It's one of those things that might require the moon and stars to align for the development and infrastructure folks to make the move at the same time.

I would be really interseted to know why you couldn't use WOW64 at a minimum?

Brian - I just saw your post that explained the reasons behind it (http://blogs.msdn.com/bharry/archive/2008/02/06/installing-tfs-2008-on-windows-2008.aspx). Thanks for being open with us about it. It helps us know that you made the decisions, understand the consequence, and feel the pain of the customer.

I tired to install TFS 2008 SP1 and MSSQL 2008 SP1 to my Windows 2008 Server. I have 28805 error for all time at the end of installation with any configurations of Reporting Service.

I follow to "Troubleshooting Installation of Team Foundation" and research all solves, but error 28805 still to present. How I can install this "excellent" product from Microsoft? Can anybody help me?

Hi Alex,

I’m sorry to hear that you are having such a difficult time installing TFS. There are a few possible solutions to your problem. First, you can try verifying that SQL Reporting Services is using Windows Credentials (in the RS config tool, under the database set up tap). If this doesn’t work, it may be that you have an SSL certificate associated with your Default Web Site in IS, which could cause RS to automatically configure itself to require SSL. Grant Holiday (a PM on our team) has a blog posting about how to resolve this. http://ozgrant.com/2007/05/13/tfs-installation-error-28805/

If neither of these solutions works, you can e-mail me your log files (directions for locating your log files can be found here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfssetup/thread/3a12e39a-53c5-4a8c-bdaa-a3152371f76a My e-mail address is ablock[~~at~~]Microsoft[~~dot~~]com
