Install Done, what's next?!
Hi everyone,
I installed Team Foundation Server on my windows 2003 standard server and everything went well ..
but now what? There is nothing in the Start Menu talking about it, no icon on the desktop, nothing!
I mean, how can I add new project to it? create portal for each project? where can I read about all that?
Thanks

Now you need to install the Team Foundation Client somewhere (not on the server!).
It's on the same install disc as the Team Foundation Server. Run the same installer, and choose Client Install.
Is it required for every people that will be using Team Foundation Server (like all architect/programmers) or just by the admin ?
Required by everyone, except for the stuff you can do via web access.
For web access, use Internet Explorer to browse to: http://<Your Team System Server Name>
So everyone needs VS.NEt 2005 + the TF Client, right?
and from that client, depending on my username, I'll have administrative privileges..
Kind of - it works like this:
* If you don't have Visual Studio 2005, you can install just the TFS Client. It will look exactly like Visual Studio 2005, but without any of the compiler stuff.
* If you DO have Visual Studio 2005 already installed, you still need to install the TFS Client. In that case, it will integrate seamlessly with your Visual Studio 2005.
In both cases, you'll see a new "Team" menu, and a new item on the "Tools" menu: "Connect to Team Foundation Server". You need to do Tools|Connect to Team Foundation Server once only on each client PC.
Great!!
What about administration of TFS... it's done via the TFS Client based on your privileges?
That's correct.
ok,
I've installed VS.NET 2k5 and the TFS Client and now when I try to connect to my TFS Server, I enter my server's IP and the default port (8080) and it says it can't connect!
when I browse my IE to http://server/ I see the share point services.. but when browsing to http://server:8080 I get a 403 Error (Forbidden)..
Any idea why ?
Try browsing to
http://server:8080/VersionControl/v1.0/Repository.asmx both from the client machine and the application tier? The root folder is not actually readable by anyone, though sub pages should be accessible.
If you can load the page from on the AT, then there's probably a privilege issue like a firewall. If you can't load the page from the AT, there's almost certainly something that went wrong with the install, and you'll probably want to check the AT event log to see what it tells you.
Please let me know if this helps?
it's asking for a login/pwd and I provided mine (which is Domain administrator) and it won't let me in..
It sounds like you haven't added yourself to the Team Foundation Administrators group or any other group with read access to the Version Control system. Did you run the installation as a different user? If so, you need to run TFC as that user first (right-click on Visual Studio, select "Run as...") and then add yourself to the an existing group.
Cheers,

Well.. I installed TFS using the TFSSETUP user .. which I deleted afterward!
Is there any other way around? I still have TFSSERVICE user...
TFSSERVICE user looks like it won't have the permission (by default) to edit server-level information. However, if you have a user who is in the Administrators computer group on both AT and DT, it should have the permission to add you to the TFAdmin group.
Best of luck!
Edit: Belay that- the Service Accounts group looks like it's in the Administrators group by default, too, so should also pick up those permissions. Try with TFSSERVICE, and, if that doesn't work, with a machine admin?
Where in my Active Directory is that TFAdmin group located?
