How to Upgrade a TFS 2008 server to TFS 2010 Beta 1
by Olga Belokurskaya
Hello!
You know what? I like storms, real storms with lightning and thunder. And I like the rattling sound of falling raindrops. It amazes me. Especially, when I’m inside ). But it’s a, let’s say, lyrical digression. I was about something different.
First, since Wednesday VSTS 2010 is available for public download.
Then, here is some upgrade news on TFS 2010.
Starting from the bad one: unfortunately, there is no upgrade to TFS 2010 from TFS 2005. The 2005 owners will have to wait until Beta 2 release.
The good news is for TFS 2008 owners. As Brian Harry said in his blog, upgrading a TFS 2008 server to TFS 2010 Beta 1 should work. However some of new TFS 2010 features won’t work because they rely on changes to the process template or other artifacts in projects that won’t be there for upgraded projects. But there are many other great new features one can start using right after upgrading a server.
A very good article, describing a step-by-step TFS 2008 to TFS 2010 upgrade process is available .
