After the session I had at
dotnet user group (dotnetforum.lk) yesterday I thought of writing this short
post to address queries made by several pepole on evaluating TFS 2010. I will
provide a guide to a simple setting up of TFS 2010 in a single server and will
give you links where you can download every piece of software I mention here. This
single server deployment can even be used in a real live enviorenment as well
to manage the liecyle of your organization’s software development process.
Step 1 – Setting up OS
One of the following os is
recommended. You can install on Vista or Win 7 but you will be restricted to
basic configuration
·
Windows Server®
2003 (32-bit) with Service Pack 2 or later (all editions)
·
Windows Server®
2003 R2 (32-bit) or later (all editions)
·
Windows Server®
2008 (both 32-bit and 64-bit) with Service Pack 2 or later
·
Windows Server®
2008 R2 (64-bit)
You can download trial Windows
Server® 2008 R2 from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/dd459137.aspx
Step 2 – Add your Server to
domain
This step is really important
since active directory domain is a must with TFS 2010. Make sure you login to
the server with a domain account which is member of administrators of the
server you are setting up.
Step 3 – Setup IIS &
ASP.Net roles or install IIS in windows 2003 server.
You can use the gide in this
link http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/29/installing-iis-7-and-above-on-windows-server-2008-or-windows-server-2008-r2/
Step 4 – Install SQL Server
2008 with SSRS(Sql Server Reporting Services)
Configure SSRS in native mode
and make sure to add your domain account as a user for the SQL server. You can
get SQL server 2008 R2 trial here http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/get-sql-server/try-it.aspx
Step 5 - Install Sharepoint
Services 3.0
Ypou can skip this step but
you will miss the prject portal and document libraries + web based TFS access.
My advice..DO NOT skip.
The following link provide
more details http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver/sharepoint/bb400747
and the download also..
Step 6 – Install TFS 2010
You can dowload trial from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=15070
. After the installation you need to configure the TFS server
And you can install SP1 for
TFS 2010 and Power Tools as well…will give mor info on them in my next post.
I think enough work is there
to setup the software…so in my next post I will give a detail explanation of
how to configuring TFS server 2010…
