The dogfood system is now based on the July CTP (it's nearly the same). Surprisingly, we had to fix the NIC setting on the production dogfood server. This time we knew where to look when we saw terrible data transfer rates from the server. Rather than being explicitly set to half duplex, it was set to auto. However, it fell ...
Rob Caron just posted that the July CTP is making its way through MSDN now. As Rob points out, be sure to check out the Known Issues and Readme pages.One of the things that held up the release was we spent Monday trying to figure out why the communication between the source control mid-tier and client was terrible. Downloads were t...

Occasionally, the question about how to configure, after installation, the alert email SMTP server and from address setting have come up in the Team Foundation forum. Alerts are emails that are sent when a check-in occurs in the Team Project you specify, or a work item assigned to you changes. Users can sign up for alerts by going ...
John Lawrence has posted dogfood usage stats in the past. I took a look at the changeset "milestones" today. The rate of changesets being created has certainly increased as more users have been added to the system.To get the latest changeset, you can run h changeset /latest or h changeset /latest /i if you don't want the gui.&...
We're still ironing out a few more wrinkles in preparation for the dogfood upgrade, but I wanted to go let folks know that it's going to require two server machines to install. With beta 2 we had a setup that would allow you to install it all on a single machine, which was great for getting a system set up for evaluation. Unfortuna...

Using the administration web service and matching web page for TFS Source Control, you can do exactly that.For a beta 2 server, bring up http://localhost:8080/scc/application/admin.asmx in ...
A couple of months ago, Jeff Lucovsky wrote about filing watson reports for Team Foundation. When you log in as an administrator on the application tier for TFS, you may be greeted with a dialog asking if you would like to report errors to Microsoft. Likewise, if Visual Studio crashes, you may be asked to report the error to Micros...
Tonight I stumbled across Jeff Beehler's new blog. So far he's written about our effort to upgrade our dogfood system to new code (we've been using a system based on the beta 2 release), which we'll release as a mid-July CTP.
In this forum thread, http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=18817, a question was asked about using baseless merge with converted VSS shared folders.[UPDATE Aug. 22, 2006] The GUI will not show the relatives of baseless merges, only explicit branch relationships.[UPDATE Feb. 6, 2006] I'm happy to say that baseless merges...
