It will certainly help our planning :)

Wow, thanks for this post.. Until now i didn't realize that it is impossible to use a MOSS, wich i've been trying for the last ½ month or so. Why does the manual state that i can use a MOSS or is it only a 2.0 MOSS?

But anyway thank you for the great info, this is really nice info, because we now can plan to move our TFS to one server instead of two server with different purposes.

When is 'rosario' scheduled for?

When I wrote, this I was just sure plenty of things would not be clear enough. This is the first one :)

You CAN use MOSS today (2.0 or 3.0). Lot's of customers do. However, today, TFS does not take advantage of any MOSS features. Obviously you can use MOSS features along with the content we put in the portal but nothing we put in there uses more than base Sharepoint functionality.

We have not announced a date for Rosario yet. It's our next major release. All I can say at this point is keep watching my blog and I'll update you as we make progress.

Deploying new versions of TFS is not something that anyone takes lightly and as they say, knowledge is power, so thank you for sharing some of the vision for TFS "Rosario" today.

Only, now I'm wondering how I'll upgrade my Laptop from Windows Server 2008 32-bit to Windows 2008 64-bit without a fresh install.

Fortunately, according to your road map I have until "Rosario" +1 before I'll have to do that and will most likely have a new laptop before then.

Thank you very much for this article. We are very interested in moving to Rosario. What is the approximat release date so that we can plan for the SQL Server 2008 upgrade?

We have not announced a release date at this time. In the not too distant future we will be giving some hints as to the basic timeframe but we won't narrow it down to a very specific time period for a while yet.

Hello,

will it be possible to install/run Rosario on a Domain Controller / SBS?

TFS2008 won't install on a DC, so it woult be nice to have this option.

re: Charting a course for TFS "Rosario"

bharry — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 15:15:39 GMT

I hate this question because the answer is always no and I always feel terrible about it. It's been a few years now since we looked closely at the issues of running on a domain controller. Our current plan is not to support this in Rosario either but I've asked the team to go back and refresh our memory on why this isn't just easy and assess whether or not it would be possible to get in Rosario.

Brian, then please make sure, that Rosario works better in a domainless environment than TFS 2008. TFS Task Scheduler service and Code Coverage Analysis service depend on the netlogon service, which is not running in a domainless environment. So both TFS services don't start. Furthermore the installation of SP1 fails because the installer can't restart the Task Scheduler service.

re: Charting a course for TFS "Rosario"

bharry — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 16:11:06 GMT

OK, I'm going to look into that issue. I wasn't aware of it. The Task scheduler service has been rewritten for Rosario and the Code Coverage Analysis service is gone (it was a bizarre way to build it in the first place). We'll make sure the new stuff works right.

Steve Nuchia — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 16:46:09 GMT

I think I may be one of those referred to as not interested in the Portal features of TFS. I'd like to add some clarification to my position on that.

First, other priorities have kept me from having time to even look at features that don't directly contribute to getting our next release out with proper SCC, build, and test support. So things like reporting have taken a back seat. We have an incumbent bug / work item tracking solution that is meeting our needs so there is no priority on using TFS WIT here. Were the existing system not already successfully integrated into reasonably good practices it would be a very different story.

Secondly, we have a document management product and we "dogfood" it as a repository for our non-code development artifacts. Again, were this not the case, the Portal features would be of much more immediate interest to me.

So, please don't let my apparent dismissiveness of those features contribute to any reduction in their profiles. My professional opinion is that they are valuable and important. They just don't fit my present situation, for some pretty special reasons.

Will Rosario depend on Office2007 or will just some features be missing?

I am not sure we will upgrade to Office2007 in the timeframe Rosario ships.

re: Charting a course for TFS "Rosario"

bharry — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 20:40:43 GMT

You can use Rosario without Office. If you want to use TFS Office integation in Rosario, you will need Office 2007.

Phillip LeMaster — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 18:04:18 GMT

We are running TFS 2005 and just purchased a new 64ibt server and installed Windows 2008 R2 and then found out TFS 2008 does not support 64bit at this time. I read that TFS 2008 would support 64bit in the future and so would TFS 2010. When will there be an update for either TFS 2008 or RTM for TFS 2010? Is there an upgrade path from 2010 beta 1 to RTM? Will there be a TFS 2008 SP2 for 64bit?

re: Charting a course for TFS "Rosario"

bharry — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 18:31:15 GMT

I'm afraid there isn't and won't ever be a 64-bit TFS 2008.

TFS 2010 supports 64-bit now. Beta 2 will be available very shortly and has a "go-live" license associated with it. Upgrading from Beta 2 to RTM will be straight forward.

While upgrading from Beta 1 may work, it is not broadly supported.
