RE: [OzTFS] Installing TFS on virtual server 2005

[Mitch Denny]

Hi Brian,   I’ve done it previously. I’d probably considering Going Windows Server 2003 R2 and Virtual Server R2. When I last did TFS in a virtual environment we did a dual server deployment with each node having 1GB of RAM. It worked OK, but was slow compared to physical hardware (disk IO was the problem along with memory headroom for the data tier).   My advice is follow the instructions exactly – don’t put SQL Server 2005 on the host OS either – that is cheating J   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian H.
