Installing Team Foundation Server 2005 Trial Edition
We have started our move to Team Foundation Server. I was optimistic that all of the issues I had trying to implement the beta and CTP versions were a thing of the past. The end result had both some good and bad results.
The first thing I found out about the deployment was that due to the requirements of the configuration of SQL 2005 (such as that Team Foundation recommends we that the installation is Windows authenticaion only, and that replication is turned off) made me choose to install Team Foundation Server in its own SQL instance instead of trying to share the SQL instance for other applications. This led me to a single server deployment decision for the time being.
The data tier, SharePoint, and SQL Server installations went through without a hitch. I was starting to think that I would have no issues. But, then of course I ran into an error that had me baffled for quite a while. The error was :
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server - ENU: ***ERRORLOG EVENT*** : ERROR:Error 28925.TFServerStatusValidator: Calling the Team Foundation Server ServerStatus Web service failed. Additional details about the problem can be found in the setup log. Verify your network configuration. For more information on troubleshooting this error, see the Microsoft Help and Support Center.
I noticed that the Team System web site was stopped so I went into the IIS Console and tried to start it and continue with the installation. It kept giving an error that the application was application was busy so the site would not start. I though it was something incorrect with the installation, but finally found that by shutting down all of the other services on the server, that there must have been another application using the 8080 port that the Team Foundation Server uses. After shutting down all of the other services (which included Windows Update Services, SMS, Cruise Control.NET) the installation completed recovering from the error that it has seen. I was pretty happy about that.
The strange thing is that after the installation completed I was able to turn back on all of the services and they are all running as expected.
The remaining issues I have are:
1) I periodically get an error in the Application Event Log:
TF53010: An unexpected condition has occurred in a Team Foundation component. The information contained here should be made available to your site administrative staff.
