Visual Studio Team System
Team Foundation

Team Foundation is a collection of collaborative technologies that support a team effort to deliver a product. While the Team Foundation technologies are typically employed by a software team to build a software product, they can also be used on other types of projects.

If you are new to Team Foundation, you may want to begin learning by reading Team Foundation Concepts to get an overview of the architecture, and key features of Team Foundation. For specific steps on performing common tasks, see Team Foundation Walkthroughs.

The remaining content is divided into three areas depending upon the roles for a team: project administrators, project leads, and project members. For more information about key tasks and to understand features related to your use of Team Foundation, please see the appropriate section for your role.

Changing the TFS server URL

In order to access your TFS server using a different URI (over the internet for example) run the following query against your TFS Data Tier:

use TFSIntegration
 
Declare @OldName varchar(255)
Declare @NewName varchar(255)
select @OldName = url from tbl_service_interface where [name] = 'DataSourceServer'
set @NewName = <NEW_SERVER_NAME>
update tbl_service_interface
set url = replace(url,@OldName, @NewName)
Where url like '%'+@OldName+'%'
 
--SELECT     [name], url, replace(url,@OldName, @NewName)
--FROM         tbl_service_interface
--Where url like '%'+@OldName+'%'
 

 

You will need to add the new URI to Team Explorer using the "Add Server" option.

Hot tip for installation of Team Foundation Server

We all think that we do not need any documentation to install any product as we are real professionals, aren't we... But let me say, installing TFS without reading the docs before will let you learn to do your work more than 4 or 5 times.

 

So: Read the manuel before any other step and be sure to prepare all recommended steps. TFS Setup is a new way of setup (I never saw another product yet like this) and will check deep in your system, if your requirements are fulfilled.
