Hi,
Today I completed phase 1.
For this step I used 3 VMWare Machines, One for the Team Foundation Server (Single Server Deployment)
And Another 2 as clients with Team Suite Installed ( The test will simulate 2 users working on the same foundation server).
All machines are running Windows 2003 Standard Edition SP1.
The Foundation Server is running the Yukon CTP like suggested in the installation guide.
I've got to say I was surprised when almost everything went smooth.
I downloaded the updated installation guide from
here.
Followed the installation instructions step by step,
and although the process was a bit tiring and took several hours,
It worked like a charm.
Pretty nice for a Beta 2 Product.
It was a bit upsetting that not all perquisites for the installation were found on the DVD/CD itself.
which is a bit of a hassle for people like me working on an intranet which is disconnected from the Internet.
The only bug I found so far was trying to add domain users to the Foundation Server Security groups.
Most of our users have caption names written in Hebrew and the / character in the department name, and it seems to bug the server.
It gives an error saying it has trouble adding users from other domain which is not the case here...
The workaround I found: I have created a new Windows Domain security groups with an English name.
Added the users to the group, and added this group to the TFS Security group.
For now it seems to work OK.
Stay tuned for phase 2 in the coming days...
Eli.
