Ok well I've install VSTS on my WinXP 2003 Server. Now what? I don't get any new menu items, I don't know how to manage any of this and the documentation says "use team explorer"... Where is team explorer? I used a team edition visual studio I had on another machine, but I didn't find any team explorer in there.
Man, for it's price, this software sure is hard to setup and manage.

BTW, my team edition doesn't have a "Connect to Team Foundation Server..." menu item. So what now?
There's an add in that comes on the VSTS disc that you need to install to make it work in your IDE.
Yes, it's very hard to set up, it's even worse if you're migrating a VSS database. It looks to me like a lot of internal command line tools got shipped because the GUI was never built. However, despite being rough around the edges, it's an awesome product, I love it to bits.
Thanks for the tip.
So where can I find information about the different command line apps that I need to use on the server side? For example:
1) How do you create a new project tree?
2) How do you add/remove user or edit user rights?
3) How do you start a new bug database?
etc...

Once it is installed, restart your VS2005 IDE and click on Tools | Connect to Team Foundation Server.
Then click on Servers... and add your server to the list.
Next step is to read the doc's.
Good luck.
Chris.
