We are just about to implement full blown TFS 2008 across our development team and I’d like to find out if there are any gotchas to b e aware fo or any installation issues I am likley to face. I have Googled all the obvious places and read the anti-panic blurb on the MS sites.
Currently we have ClearQuest, SourceSafe and Final Builder. It’s my understanding that all of these can go once we implement TFS. If that’s true it sounds pretty good already!
One problem I had was in setting security. I needed to lock down a branch to read-only for almost everyone. So I removed all the existing entries and then accidentally hit OK. This meant no-one — including server and project admins — had any access. Including no one having the rights to fix it.
Turns out there is a work around, and knowing the server admins helped. A local administrator on the TFS data tier server bypasses the TFS security, and could reset the permissions.
Did cause a few minutes of panic…
