Hello. Before starting down the TFS2010 installation process, I have a few questions I'm hoping the community can help me with.
We're planning on a single-server installation of TFS2010. Initially, we want version/source control and build services, but not reporting or SharePoint. We may add reporting and SharePoint capabilities later. Our environment will be Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64), SQL Server 2008 R2 (x64), Office 2010 (x86), Visual Studio 6 and 2010, and, of course, Team Foundation Server 2010.
Can I install TFS2010 on a server
that is on our domain? It's not a
domain controller, it's just a member
server on the domain.
Should I install TFS2010 before or
after putting the server on the
domain? We have six developers that
will be logging into their local
development computers (which are also
on the same domain) using their
domain user accounts, do I add each
domain user to the TFS2010 server's
security groups? If so, which
one(s)?
Can I or should I use a domain user
account as the TFS2010 service
account? Or, should I just use
Network Service?
The TFS2010 install guide notes that
none of the service accounts should
belong to the Administrators security
group, so which security group(s) are
recommended for the service
account(s)?
We're planning on using a local
instance of SQL Server 2008 R2
Standard with TFS2010, what service
account should we use? Should we use
the same domain account as TFS2010 or
Local System or ?? The TFS2010
install guide isn't very specific on
this.
Since we're planning on this server
being both the version/source control
and build server, should we install
our development environments (VS6,
VS2010, Access2010) before installing
TFS2010? Or does it matter?
Thanks in advance for answering these questions.
