Brian Harry

Orcas Beta 2 has been deployed on our dogfood server for about a month now and has been running quite well with very few patches.  We've been focusing primarily on cleaning up the event log and making sure we fix any bugs generating event log entries, making appropriate eventlog entries clear and actionable and removing spurious ones. I think ...

There a new and very interesting project on CodePlex today.  It's a "bridge" that allows Subversion clients (like TortoiseSVN) to work against a TFS server.  This project has been created by the team that develops CodePlex itself due to the popularity of Subversion clients.  This bridge works at the protocol level by transforming the...

Updated Quiescing patch released

Brian Harry
Brian Harry

We're now one step closer to the end of my humiliation :)  The updated quiescing patch has now been released and is available for all to use.  It should address many of the issues people have had with installing TFS 2005 SP1.  If you've already successfully installed SP1, you don't need to go back and mess with it, but you should ins...

The end of my humiliation is near?

Brian Harry
Brian Harry

Well, I've been doing everything I could to hide from my humiliation that was the install experience around TFS SP1.  As you'll recall, the underlying problem was that the way it "quiesced" (deactivated) the server was not appropriate.  It didn't work for servers that were in the process of being used.  It didn't work for clustered s...

Dry spell

Brian Harry
Brian Harry

It's been a bit of a blogging dry spell for me the last couple of weeks and I think it's going to continue to be for a bit longer.  Sorry about that.  It's just been really hectic.  In a moment of insanity, I agreed to help someone work on a CodePlex project to hook TFS up to FrontPage server extensions so that you can use Visual Int...
