My post on TFS updates a couple of weeks ago generated an internal discussion that resulted in the collection of all of the SQL and Windows updates we’ve had to apply to our Dogfood server to get it running well. Now, you have to remember that our dogfood server runs at incredibly high scale and many of the issues we’ve hit are unlikely to affect you. However, if you really want to be sure you are running your production server as optimally as we run ours, here’s some information that may be useful to you:<\/p>\n
