Yes, sorry for that issue. Please download the videos from the media gallery of this site instead of watching them on YouTube. The ones on this site have far better quality than the ones in Youtube.

First of all great work on putting all the info out for everyone. I really enjoyed all of your 11 series videos. Only issue I found was video is few second slower than the audio while I watched on youtube. Any idea how to fix that one? Will appreciate your comment.

I installed TFS 2010 RTM as described above and it works locally. But for some reason I can't access it via the Internet. I keep getting a TF31003 error. It looks like me permissions don't get pased thru when hitting it externally. Any ideas?

Sahas, I suppose you are running the Team Build installation/configuration that I describe in this page:

juliocasal.com/.../configuring-team-foundation-build-2010-beta-2-on-windows-7.aspx

If that's true, which account you specified for the configure Build Machine step?

Hi -

Nice post. I'm trying to repeat this on my Win 7.

Build Controller configuration fails after successful installation and App tier configuration.

Keep throwing Exception Message: TF30063: You are not authorized to access sahas-pc/.../DefaultCollection. (type TeamFoundationServerUnauthorizedException).

Any idea?

Thanks Julio. Yeah, I was already following that thread...hopefully there will be a fix soon.

For now, I have managed to install TFS on a Virtual PC (which doesn't belong to an active directory) and it works fine. It has some drawbacks though.

Andrei, more people is having this same issue. It's a Beta 2 bug that was supposed to be fixed in RC, but seems like it's not totally fixed. Please go to this forum thread and watch for responses from Microsoft:

Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

I'm using TFS 2010 RC.

I think I am installing TFS on a domain controller, because my laptop is part of a company network, therefore my domain is set to that of the company.

Thanks for your time.

Andrei, I got a couple of questions for you:

Are you still using Beta 2 of TFS 2010? If so, go get the RC because this was a known issue for Beta 2.

Are you installing TFS in a domain controller?

Hey Julio. Thanks for this post.

However, when installing TFS 2010, I get a TF255435 error which says that "This computer is a member of an Active Directory domain, but the domain controllers are not accessible."

Given that I am quite new to the TFS world, I don't understand what this means nor how it can be fixed. Have you encountered this problem, and do you have any ideas for resolving it?

Cheers

I really appreciate your feedback on this post Bryan. Nothing can be more useful than a comment from a Microsoft Employee! Thanks!

Basics exposes the same web services that access sql server that the full product uses. It simply conditions out the sharepoint and reporting features. It fully supports concurrent access both locally and remote over http. Team members can access via VS and the web interface (http://yourserver:8080/tfs/web).

Even on a client OS like Windows 7, the code is the same code that internally scales to thousands of users. IIS on a client OS will be gated to something like 40 concurrent requests which is still pretty high. For a team where a handful of folks are doing concurrent continuous access, it will be fine. If you install it on a server OS, those limitations drop away.

The application tier is not support on XP though - only build is. Basics works on Vista, Win7, Svr 2k3, 2k8 and 2k8 R2.

SQL express is also full featured with the exception of a 4GB limit. Even at that point, you can back it up and restore it to a full SQL server and continue to grow.

We've been working hard on these configuration options and I appreciate any feedback. If anyone has any issues, feel free to email me directly.

Todd, what you describe is actually an intended scenario for TFS 2010 Basic. You can install everything in one machine, like Windows XP and your small team will be able to access it from the network.
