My Twitter page isn't +that popular and when I first started tweeting my progress, shortly after I was +receiving messages regarding my documentation and progress. Here is the shortly +awaited documentation on what I've done to install TFS. + +Here's what my environment looks/will look like: + +* Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (with hyper-v but that's irrelevant) +* SQL Server 2008 Standard +* WSS 3.0 +* Sharepoint 2007 Enterprise +* Team Foundation Server 2010 Beta 1 (of course) + +There are a few ways this environment can be changed around (which versions +such as Enterprise or Standard can be used). Check out Microsoft's TFS +installation documentation for this information (a convenient .chm file...check +my blog post on this if you have issues opening this file). + +Additionally, _this post documents a single-server installation on a +64-bit machine_. + +Here's a summary of the order of software installation that will be taking +place. + +* Windows Server 2008 (we have to have an operating system) +* IIS 7 +* SQL Server 2008 +* Team Foundation Server 2010 Beta 1 (with WSS 3.0) + +If it isn't obvious yet, this is going to be a long post. I've taken +screenshots of many of the steps which won't help the length. Is everyone +buckled in? Good. Let's get started. + + +[[installing-windows-server-2008]] +Installing Windows Server 2008 +------------------------------ + +The install of Windows Server really isn't that complicated. There are not +special requirements for this. However, post-install, my server was added to a +domain so I could use domain service accounts. It isn't necessary to have the +server added to a domain though. + +[[installing-iis-7.0]] +Installing IIS 7.0 +------------------ + +This part really isn't too bad (thankfully). In the server management, on the +left click **Roles**. On the right, click **Add Role Services**. + +image:files/IIS_01_Add_Role.jpg[height=300] + +image:files/IIS_02_Role_Services.jpg[height=300] + +Here some default values are selected. You need to add **HTTP Redirection**, +**ASP.Net**, **Windows Authentication**, and *IIS 6 Management Compatibility* +and all subordinate check boxes. Click **Next**. + +Here your selections are reviewed. If everything is correct, click **Install**. +Once the install has completed, you'll see another review window. If everything +was successful, click **Close**. + + +[[installing-sql-server-2008]] +Installing SQL Server 2008 +-------------------------- + +Here's where the real fun begins. This install isn't too bad. The real ticket +is to know if you have any service accounts you want to use for the SQL +services. Since I did a single-server install on a server dedicated to my team, +I used NT Authority/Network Service for mostly everything, but I'll get to that +a little later. + +First off, insert the SQL installation media (I used an ISO file mounted +through Hyper-V for mine). + +From here, run the setup executable on the disk. Mine did an autorun. From +that window, I selected **installation**on the left navigation pane. On the +screen that loads on the right, select **New SQL Server stand-alone +installation or add features to an existing installation**. + +The screen that comes up will run five tests. If your installation is clean +than most likely all five will pass with a green check mark. Mine threw a +warning to me on Windows Firewall because mine was turned on with default +settings. Since the server is behind two firewalls, I elected to disable the +Windows firewall completely. Re-running the test after that resolved the +warning. Click **Okay**. + +Here we are at the obligatory Product Key screen. Enter your product key and +hit **Next**. + +If you accept the license terms (License Terms page), check the box and click +**Next**. + +The next screen wants to install setup support files. Go ahead and click +*Install* to continue. The following screen will yet again, run some more tests +(eleven to be precise). Again, if this is a clean install, every test should +pass. + +Here's one of the crucial screens: *. On this screen, you should select to +install *Database Engine Services* (for TFS), *Full Text search* (for +reporting), *Reporting Services* (for reporting), **Analysis Services**, +**Client Tools Connectivity**, and **Management Tools Basic**. Once those are +checked, click **Next**. + +image:files/SQL_03_Instance_Configuration.jpg[height=300] + +Hit *Next* to continue to the * screen. If you want to, you can rename this SQL +instance to whatever you want it to be. I chose the default MSSQLSERVER since +it will be used for TFS only and nothing else will be connecting to it. Click +**Next**. + +Click *Next* on the *screen. + +Here we are at the Server Configuration section. Unless you have any specific +domain accounts set up for running SQL, NT AUTHORITYNetwork Service will +suffice for all of the accounts listed. No password is required to use this +username. Also be sure to change *SQL Server Agent* to start up automatically +(by default it is manual). Click **Next**. + +The Microsoft documentation suggests on the Database Engine Configuration page +that Windows authentication mode be checked. I have had some pretty nasty +experiences with this in the past and selected **Mixed mode authentication**. +Following this, you need to type in a password for the SQLSA user. Also, don't +forget to add all of the users you want to have access to the DB engine. Once +you're done with that, click next. + +The next page is the Analysis Services Configuration page. Add any users you +want to have access to the analysis services that your SQL instance will +supply. Click **Next**. + +On the Reporting Services Configuration page, select **Install the native mode +default configuration**. Click **Next**. + +Here's the obligatory Error and Usage Reporting screen. Check whether or not +you want Microsoft to receive anonymous usage statistics regarding your SQL +instance and click **Next**. + +Nearing the end, click *Next* on the Installation Rules screen. + +*Finally* + +Once the installation is complete, click *Next* and **Close**. + + +[[installing-team-foundation-server-2010-beta-1]] +Installing Team Foundation Server 2010 Beta 1 +--------------------------------------------- + +Here we are at the final software install. This part really isn't too bad +(surprisingly enough). + +To begin, insert the installation media (once again, I mounted an ISO through +Hyper-V). If autorun is enabled, a standard window should come up giving you +the option to explore the newly inserted media. If this does not happen, just +open up Computer and navigate to the disk. + +Inside the disk there are three folders. Depending on your processor +architecture, choose either the TFS-x64 or TFS-x86 folders. From within that +folder, run the Setup.exe file. + +Here we're at the first screen. Click *Next* to proceed. + +Once again, the ever-present Licensing Terms page. If you accept, check the box +and hit **Next**. + +image:files/TFS_02_Features_to_Install.jpg[height=300] + +The Microsoft documentation suggests that only Team Foundation Server be +checked. I actually need the build server to be on the Team Foundation Server +as well so I checked all three. Either will work though. **Click Install**. + +image:files/TFS_04_MidInstall_Restart.jpg[height=300] + +During your installation, the server will need to be restarted. Click restart +now. Upon restart, the configuration option will become available to you. + +Pat yourself on the back. You just installed TFS. This is a long enough blog +post for now. I'll post here very shortly the configuration steps I took for +TFS (still haven't taken all of the screenshots I need for it). + +Thanks for reading. + +Dirk + + +Category:Microsoft + +Category:Team_Foundation_Server + +Category:MsSQL Category:IIS + + +// vim: set syntax=asciidoc: |
