Thanks - this will be really helpfull. I have a question on setting up TFS for multiple development teams. We're looking at setting up TFS but need to be able to configure separate dev teams and projects so that each team has little to no interaction with the other teams. Basically, isolating our development groups. Is there anything I can read about configuring TFS for a large corporation with isolated dev teams? Or would it be best to do several separate installations of TFS. Ballpark is 500 developers, 20-30 teams. Will eventually be over 3500 developers.Anonymous
