So I thought I would
change the name of my machine so that
the other devs can find
the TFS server easily.
TFS 2005 would use
the cool cmd line util tfsadminutil.....alas he is now gone
HERE Are
the steps
to complete
Edit
the web.config and is usually located on default install
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010\Application Tier\Web Services\web.config
<add key="applicationDatabase" value="Data Source=JUSTIN\SQLI01;Initial Catalog=Tfs_Configuration;Integrated Security=True;" />
Next step is
to edit previous Solutions/Projects
1) Open
the Solution file i.e ProductApp.sln
2) Edit
the SccTeamFoundationServer URL under Global section i.e
Change this
to new name
If you have DB server on same machine ...you will need
to go in and remove existing db user account assigned
to the tfs DB
Remove old [%machine_name%] value i.e Tuned_Dev_PC_12\Justin user from
the above DBs
No add
the new Justin\Justin user account associated with
the new machine name
to the TFS & Reporing dbs ... dbo or
the TFSADMIN & TFSEXEC roles either will do in this case. (or add both )
Now either ReApply user or add New account (remove old account i.e Tuned_Dev_PC_12\justin)
If DB permisions are setup correctyly you will get a
screen that looks like this
If it pauses or gets stuck you need
to look back at
the adding correct DB Perms
to the i.e JUSTIN\Justin user account
Also if your project is still complaining about old TFS name
1) Team\Connect new Team Foundation Server
2) Add\Remove TFS
3) Add New TFS Name
Once you have connected
to the new TFS server
Reload your project from TFS..this way it removes a lot of
the bugs that hang around in
the local project\solution
This is similar
to a VSS2005 and older fix
Cheers
( eta about 60-90 mins so weigh up
the the need vs payoff. )
Shutdown restart
