    More than a year ago, I posted a reference to Jeff Atwood's post on extending the evaluation period for Windows Vista.KB article 948472 describes the process for Windows Server 2008 and includes instructions on installing an evaluation version of Windows Server 2008 from the standard media as well has how to set up a recurring task in Windows ...

    Unfortunately there are several types of projects that do not work natively with MSBuild.  Jim Lamb, program manager for Team Build, has put together a few posts with pointers on how to get these to work with Team Build.

    Tools for TFS on CodePlex: TeamReview and Info Kiosk
    AvatarBuck HodgesOctober 22, 2008Oct 22, 200810/22/08
    In the past I've written posts on tools for TFS on CodePlex.  I'm happy to say that there are now too many to show in a post.  I'd encourage you to take a look using this query for TFS on CodePlex. A couple of people have sent me email about new tools for TFS on CodePlex, and I thought I'd mention them. here. TeamReview The first ...

    Why is the TFS 2008 version control security dialog blank?
    AvatarBuck HodgesOctober 20, 2008Oct 20, 200810/20/08
    If you install Service Pack 1 for .NET 3.5 on the server (application tier) without also installing Service Pack 1 for TFS 2008, you will not be able to view permissions in version control.  None of your data has been lost.  What has happened is that the code in ASP.NET that serializes the permission data on the server does not work ...

    TFS 2008 SP1: New setting to delete a build without deleting the build label
    TFS 2008 SP1: New setting to delete a build without deleting the build label
    AvatarBuck HodgesOctober 20, 2008Oct 20, 200810/20/08
    We've heard from a few customers that they would prefer not to have the build labels deleted when builds are deleted.  In Team Foundation Server 2008 SP1 we added a feature to control whether build labels are deleted when the build is deleted.  This feature is really a stop-gap measure, and it changes the behavior for build deletion ...

    AvatarBuck HodgesOctober 19, 2008Oct 19, 200810/19/08
    The build summary view (sometimes called the build report) in TFS 2005 and 2008 leaves a lot to be desired.  We wanted to rework it in TFS 2008 but lacked the time.  Well, we've completely revamped it for TFS 2010. Chris Burrows has posted screen shots he captured from Jim Lamb's interview and screencast on TFS Build 2010 (it's ...

    Mike Fourie has released the first version of MSBuild Extensions Pack on CodePlex.  This is a great collection of quality tasks for MSBuild that you can also use in Team Foundation Build. The MSBuild Extension Pack is the successor to the FreeToDev MSBuild Tasks Suite and provides a collection of over 170 MSBuild tasks designed for the...

    Mohammad Jalloul, a developer on the Developer Division Engineering team, has released a new tool on CodePlex called TFS Check-in Validation Tool.  This tool provides the ability to have a checkin validating by a build prior to being checked in.  This is similar to a feature in TFS 2010 called Gated Checkin, which is integrated into ...

    AvatarBuck HodgesOctober 18, 2008Oct 18, 200810/18/08
    Martin Woodward has written a great post that describes a feature that was added in TFS 2008 SP1 to reduce the amount of work item tracking metadata cached by the client.  Depending on the number of team projects on your server and the number of fields and rules used by all work item types, this could result in a nice performance gain, ...
