Installing TFS 11 Developer Preview

Since few days, TFS 11 Developer Preview is available for everyone, so let's go to download it !! http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/hh127353

 

So, let's have a look to the wizard to see how easy is to install and configure it.

First of all, install SQL Server 2008 R2 with the database engine, Reporting Services and Analysis Services.

To start the TFS 11 install itself, execute the default.hta file.

 

When the splash screen is available, Click on "Install Team Fondation Server" and the wizard will start.
 

 Accept the licence therms and click on Continue
 

 Your are now ready to start the installation
 

 The wizard helps you to choose the type of your deployements. For testing purposes, choos the "Standard Single Server"
 

 Click on next
 

 Provide the account, you can use a specific account, like TFSSERVICE or a simple local administrator (if your are not in a domain)
 

 The next step is to install SharePoint Fondation 2010. To continue this wizard, you must have an internet access.
 

 The sharepoint is now installed, you can continue.
 

 This screen summarizes the complete configuration of your TFS 11 Server. You will find the configuration of database, reporting services, tfs wharehouse, web access...
 

 The wizard is configuring your installation.
 

 
 

Done !! Your TFS 11 is now installed and ready to be used with Visual Studio 11.

In further posts, I will share my feedbacks about the new process templates, web access and, of course, Team Explorer 11.

Have fun with ALM !!
