    DIY: Running TFS using a named instance in SQL
    Avatar Buck Hodges March 29, 2006 Mar 29, 2006 03/29/06
    The question about using a named instance with TFS has come up several times, and it came up again today on an internal mailing list.  As to why we don't support it in V1, Brian Harry states that it was the time to get it into setup and the additional testing that led to the decision to postpone it to a future version.However, for those ...

    Using Outlook with RPC over HTTP is great
    Avatar Buck Hodges March 29, 2006 Mar 29, 2006 03/29/06
    Not too long ago, I finally got around to configuring Outlook to use RPC over HTTP on my laptop and my desktop at home so that I can get to my work email more conveniently.  I love this feature and wish I had done it a lot sooner.  Outlook Web Access is great for places where you don't have your own computer, but ...

    Licensing differences between TFS Workgroup Edition and TFS Standard Edition
    Avatar Buck Hodges March 28, 2006 Mar 28, 2006 03/28/06
    Recently Ajay Sudan, Product Manager for VSTS, answered a question regarding some confusion over the differences between TFS Workgroup Edition and TFS Standard Edition.  Here is how he summed it up. TFS Workgroup Edition is not licensed on a Server/CAL model. This means CALs are not required when using the Workgroup Edition. For this ...

    Yesterday, Ed Hintz and I gave a "brown bag" presentation in Redmond for some internal groups that will begin using TFS.  I've created a public version of the slides and attached it to this post.  The presentation goes over a few concepts (the intended audience is already quite familiar with source control), shows some ...

    How to check in changes on behalf of other users
    Avatar Buck Hodges March 20, 2006 Mar 20, 2006 03/20/06
    Recently someone asked how to check in changes for another user.  There are at least two good scenarios where this is needed.  One is for check-in systems such as the Gauntlet system we used internally during the development of TFS.  Rather than check in directly, developers would shelve their changes and put them in the ...
