Get Up and Running With a Single-Server Installation
Installing Team Foundation Server is fairly straightforward. However, managing that installation can become complex. As an administrator, you need to create projects, add users to the system, and set permissions for those users. You have to manage all the users in your system to help keep your deployment secure from those who shouldn't have access to it, but readily available and functional for those who should. You also want to make sure that your deployment is backed up just in case something happens to the server hardware, or some other disaster occurs, such as a virus that corrupts your data.
Preparing for your installation ahead of time can make it simpler to manage users over the lifetime of the deployment. Similarly, setting up backups for the system as soon as you have installed and configured the software can help you recover your deployment if it becomes necessary.
