Repairing a TFS 2005 install or starting anew.
- by Johan Buret
Following : Installing Team Foundation Server on a shared database instance
We did use a shared database instance setup for TFS 2005, and that was not a good idea, because of the Reporting Service dependency. The reporting instance on the server gives error code 404.
What works now
Basic source code control. We're able to check in and out source code.
What doesn't work :
Everything else, including :
Opening and creating new team projects.
Build automation.
Internal bug tracking.
Goal setup
Having a fully working TFS install, and keeping the history.
1) A full install of TFS 2005 on the same server, but within its own database and reporting instance.
2) Using another server might be an option, but it's really not prefered
Downtime should be minimum, my colleagues needs to be able to work on the source
Readings
I've read the MSDN page about moving/restoring TFS 2005, but I'm still unsure about what to do.
Thanks in advance for help
