Team Foundation Server 2010 Beta 2 to RC Upgrade Guide
My name is Bryan Krieger and I’m a Program Manager for Team Foundation Server (TFS) and have worked over twelve years in Microsoft’s internal IT organization. The feature area I’m responsible for is Administration and Operations of TFS with a focus on upgrade.
Since the TFS 2010 Release Candidate (RC) will be released later this month, we wanted to provide an upgrade guide to help you prepare to upgrade from Beta 2 to RC. Below is an excerpt from the Team Foundation Server 2010 Beta 2 to RC Upgrade Guide available at this link.
While every attempt has been made to ensure a smooth upgrade process from previous versions to Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010, there are some specific action items you should follow when upgrading from Beta 2 to the Release Candidate (RC). Please read this document before starting the upgrade to the RC. Note that some of the steps in this document are conditional based on the Beta 2 configuration you are currently running.
The document is divided into six sections:
- Choosing an upgrade path
- Considerations before attempting upgrading – please read as it contains some late breaking news related to upgrade
- Additional steps required before upgrading to RC.
- Upgrading to RC.
- Additional steps required after upgrading to RC.
- Troubleshooting Upgrade failures.
