Updated Again: Setting up Source Server for TFS Builds (v1.2)#

I've just published another update to my guide on Setting up Source Server for TFS Builds, since the Debugging Tools for Windows now has built-in support for Team Foundation Server. So that means: no more third party downloads and an even simpler installation procedure! I've also updated the document to reflect all applicable versions of the tools you'll be using: Visual Studio 2005 and 2008, as well as Team Foundation Server 2005 and 2008.

Because I have been troubleshooting Source Server issues a few times as well, I also added a chapter on how to find out what's going on inside the Source Server indexing and what might be going wrong. Note that there is some Perl going on in there, so avert your eyes if you can't handle the look and feel of it (I know I can't) :-)

For the full setup instructions, please refer to the original post on Setting up Source Server for TFS Builds.

Oh, and finally, my homie Pieter also posted a more detailed guide on how to set Source Server support up inside the Team Build script - and what's more important, what the invaluable benefit is of having a central reusable build script. Great job Pieter!

I've just discovered your blog, and I'm finding it very helpful for all things TFS and GAT. Good job. I've been trying to access your Deep Dive presentation on the GAT, but the chopsticks website seems to be having problems displaying it. If you know of any other way I can get to it, it would be much appreciated. If there's no other way to access it or send it via email, perhaps you contacting whoever you may know at that website might give them the kick they need to get it working again. The content of your presentation is very much needed on a project I'm working on.

Thanks,
Tim

This is my personal website, not my boss', not my mother's, and certainly not the pope's. My personal opinions may be irrelevant, inaccurate, boring or even plain wrong, I'm sorry if that makes you feel uncomfortable. But then again, you don't have to read them, I just hope you'll find something interesting here now and then. I'll certainly do my best. But if you don't like it, go read the pope's blog. I'm sure it's fascinating.
