We've got a server with TFS2008 that we do all our builds on. I need to get an install of TFS2010 running. Can I run it on the same server (windows 2003) or do I need it on a seperate one?
This is not possible.
The exact question was asked before in the MSDN Forum and you can read all the answers here.
As Arun said TFS 2010 installer checks
if previous version of TFS is
installed on the computer and will not
let you install TFS 2010 if previous
version is detected.
There are many reasons why it is not possible to
install TFS 2008 and TFS 2010 side by
side. One of them is the fact that
both are creating an IIS web site with
the same name - "Team Foundation
Server".

I'm trying to connect my AX 2009 installation to VSO (recently renamed to VSTS).
After browsing some forum entries I know that I have to install the following:
Install Visual Studio 2008 (not the Express Edition)
Install Team Explorer 2008
Install Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (This will upgrade both VS2008 and Team Explorer 2008 to SP1)
Install VSTS 2008 Forward Compatibility Update
The installation order is important because the SP1 will update VS and Team Explorer, so I followed that order.
Then I created a project in Visual Studio Online.
Now I want to connect my AX 2009 with the repository in VSO. The VSO is hosting a TFS, so this should work.
As far as I could find out to configure the TFS settings you need to set the Version Control Parameters and the System Settings. I did both as shown in the following screenshots:
When I'm setting the Version Control Paramters the Internet Explorer opened and I needed to authenticate with my User and Password against VSO (so this seems fine to me).
The final step now would be to Create the Repository (Tools -> Developer Tools -> Version Control -> Create Repository. But when I try to do this I get the following error-log: Team Server connection error. [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
The settings in 7 could be wrong - I'm not really sure what values are to set there.
Any help is appreciated.
The plugin is trying to access a SQL Server database. As VSTS is hosted on Azure and uses multi-tenanting there is no access to SQL server on that URL.
I am pretty sure that this is not ever going to work. VSTS is NOT just hosted TFS and even if it were, Visual Studio 2008 is no longer supported as a client for either TFS or VSTS.
Install the following components:
Visual Studio 2010 with SP1 (can be installed side by side with, or as a replacement for VS2008).
Team Foundation Server 2010 SP1 Object Model

There's additional discussion around this on the Dynamics Community AX Forum.
I installed TFS 2013 on my Windows server 2012 and I would like to transfer my projects from vss to tfs.
I downloaded the vss to tfs tool from [microsoft tool][1], but I was unable to install it because of compability mode, error message: "Windows Program Compatibility mode is on. Turn it off and then try Setup again"
According to this Buck Hodges blog post, you're not going to be able to do this in Windows Server 2012, and Microsoft isn't going to fix it. See the following comment:
... unfortunately, it is blocked in the installer. Right now we don't
have plans to re-release it, so you would need to run it on Win7-based
OS.
Incidentally, the post also addresses the question of upgrading to TFS 2013.
I would like to know if the upgrade tool will work with TFS 2013?
The documentation only mentions TFS 2010 and 2012. However, Hodges also addresses this:
... it should work with the caveat of what OS you install it on (see previous
comment).
the solution for me was : i installed the tool on another machine with win server 2008 , convert the projects and than move them to the tfs 2013
We are planning to upgrade from TFS 2012 express Update 3 to TFS 2013 server edition. Does anyone has any suggestion on how to do this or what steps should I do.
I don't know of any specific issues with that upgrade path. But here are some things that might help.
Read over the TFS Planning and DR guide
Make sure your server meets the new System requirements
Check out the upgrade documentation here, and specifically "Upgrade TFS Basic or Express"
Backup\Snapshot your TFS server before you start the upgrade.
I am installing TFS 2010, and it does not install SQL and sharepoint automatically. I am assuming I need to manually install this.
Do I need a serpeate license ontop of the TFS license?
TFS 2010 gives you a license to SQL Server 2008 Standard edition for the sole purpose of using it as a TFS Database. The database must also be installed on the same server as TFS application tier. This is explained in detail in the Visual Studio 2010 licensing whitepaper.
It is best to install SQL Server and Sharepoint (Foundation or MOSS) before you start TFS install and then TFS can be configured to use this in post-install steps. The TFS installation guide is extremely useful. I have just gone through this process myself.
I'm testing a TFS 2010 install. I have the server set up and TFS 2010 installed. I have imported the projects from the existing TFS2008 server by doing backup's and loading them into the new sql server and then doing the import, which allworks fine.
How ever how do i get the Sharepoint site moved to the new server.
Environment is a single server install with TFS, SQL and sharepoint running on the same box. this is the same for 2008 and 2010.
thanks
I'm not sure that you wanted to do your migration this way. The TFS 2010 installation wizard includes an upgrade path, which should take care of all aspects of the upgrade for you.
