How to: Configure Team Foundation Server Extensions for Windows SharePoint Services

  • Article

If your SharePoint Products server is not on the server that is running Visual Studio Team Foundation Server, you have a remote portal. If you have a remote portal, you must install and configure Team Foundation Server Extensions for Windows SharePoint Services on the remote portal.

If you have multiple servers in a Web farm, you must install and configure Team Foundation Server Extensions for Windows SharePoint Services on every server in the farm. After you install the extensions, you must perform this configuration procedure on each server. An error message might appear during configuration asking you to verify that the extensions have been installed on every server in the farm. You can safely ignore this error. After the extensions have been installed and configured on every server, this error stops.

If you are the SharePoint Products network administrator collaborating with the Team Foundation Server administrator, you can find the Team Foundation Server data you need to set up the extensions on the printed copy of the Worksheet: Team Foundation Server and SharePoint Products Collaboration that the Team Foundation Server administrator provided for you.

Note
