tfs - Setting up Team foundation server -
i have setup team foundation server company, don't have experience in.
the company have 5 or developers using it.
is big task or easy (with instructions)?
helpful tutorials can recommend?
any recommendations on server specs team of 5-10?
your first step should download latest tfs installation guide (tfsinstall.chm) here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=ff12844f-398c-4fe9-8b0d-9e84181d9923&displaylang=en
you should use tfs 2008 sp1, since latest release , includes many new features , performance improvements.
if planning on installing windows 2008 & sql 2008, need "integrate" tfs 2008 sp1 installation disc. instructions included in tfsinstall.chm, martin woodward has walkthrough on blog: http://www.woodwardweb.com/vsts/creating_a_tfs.html (this isn't required sql 2005 sp2 + windows 2003)
the install guide has hardware recommendations.
for team of size, should consider running tfs instance virtual machine. allow up-size , move installation around more @ later date. tfs supported on hyper-v virtualization platform: http://blogs.msdn.com/granth/archive/2008/06/27/team-foundation-server-and-hyper-v-virtualization.aspx
and if need along way, have 3 options:
call ms product support ($$, answer)
