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.

We are planning to do version control for our SSIS packages. I want to know how to install TFS and configure it to checkin SSIS packages.
I have read this SSIS TFS configuration. But here I couldn't find anything about installation. it contains only connection information TFS. Should I install from SSIS extensions? Should i install Team explorer? It is showing so many options as shown below.I don't know the right one. Also is installing this requires any license? Please guide me here. Any link with the steps is also fine.
I'm using Visual Studio 2015 and SQL Server 2012.
I want to know how to install TFS and configure it to checkin SSIS packages.
Refer to Install and configure Team Foundation Server and Integration Services (SSIS) and Visual Studio Team Foundation Server for details.
Should I install from SSIS extensions? Should i install Team explorer?
Yes, to design the SSIS packages you need to download and install SSDT (SQL Server Data Tools). It's an official addon for Visual Studio which adds templates for SSIS and SSAS projects. Refer to Download and install SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) for Visual Studio for details.
And you need to install the Team Explorer to connect to TFS and manage the source control.
is installing this requires any license?
It's based on your VS subscription, you can try community version of Visual Studio, it's free.
Besides, find following blogs for your reference, hope that helps.

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.

I have a question about in-place upgrading from Team Foundation Server 2010 to Team Foundation Server 2015
Our current situation contains the following software versions:
- Windows Server 2008 R2
- SQL Server 2008 R2
- Team foundation Server 2010
We would like to perform an in-place upgrade of this server to the following new versions.
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- SQL Server 2014
- Team Foundation Server 2015
It is a single server installation on a VMWare environment. Adding additional resources is not a problem. So for that reason we would like to go for an in-place upgrade.
With the information I found on https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/vs/alm/tfs/administer/requirements it does not seem to be possible with our current SQL version to upgrade to TFS 2015 in one go.
Should we first upgrade to TFS 2012 (which still supports SQL Server 2008 R2)? Then upgrade to SQL 2012 SP1, then TFS 2015..and so on.
Or should it be easier in our situation to migrate the TFS 2010 databases to an new server with all the latest versions and then upgrade the databases (and so not performing an in-place upgrade after all)?
There is a lot of documentation describing various migration scenario's so that is causing some confusion.
Can someone give us some suggestions or answer on what is the best way forward?
What you could do is:
Uninstall TFS from the current server
Uninstall SQL Server on the current server
Install SQL Server 2014 on it
Attach the databases to the SQL Server 2014
Install TFS 2015 and walk through the upgrade wizard.
It's sort of an in-place upgrade. Indeed be aware of the Sharepoint issue, it will be your pressing reason to make in in-between upgrade stop along the way, should you need it.
I see many client de-coupling Sharepoint from TFS anyway, as the Sharepoint functionality is rarely used, or even known.
Something else to consider. If you're using any of the sharepoint functionality in TFS 2010, and you want to keep the stuff stored there, then you'll probably want to upgrade to TFS 2012 anyway. TFS 2010 uses WSS 3.0 and TFS 2015 uses the latest version of sharepoint express. There is no direct migration from WSS 3.0 to the latest version so you'll need to use the bundled version in TFS 2012 as an intermediary upgrade.
If sharepoint isn't an issue then I'd suggest building out new infrastructure and migrating the TFS databases. This will be easier and IMHO has a couple of other benefits.
you can do a test migration to flush out any additional issues
get some timings so you know how long the real migration will take
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 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.
