Hi Jason, I have done quite a few migrations and upgardes from TFS 2005 to TFS 2008 including moving tfs 2005 to new hardware and upgrading to TFS2008 using the migration toolkit. It is tricky but can be done. You just need careful planning and attention to detail.
Read and understand the following documents on MSDN 1. Team Foundation Server Move Types -- read this first 2. How to: Back Up a Team Foundation Server 3. How to: Restore Data for Team Foundation 4. How to: Restore Data for Team Foundation Server to a Different Server 5. How to: Move Your Team Foundation Server from One Hardware Configuration to Another 6. How to: Move Your Team Foundation Server from One Environment to Another 7. How to: Move from a Single-Server to a Dual-Server Deployment After you read them pick and try the elements that apply to your situation. Prepare your own guide and try that a few times. Backup after each data related step and test thoroughly after each step. Let us know how you went.

Restore by TFS 2005 databases on to a VM (temporary VM) and upgrade that instance to TFS 2008. 2. Do the TFS to TFS migration from the temporary VM to the target TFS 2008 machine Deepak -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Livengood, Jason (ProSource Sol) Sent: Monday, September 08, 2008 4:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [OzTFS] Trying to Migrate Projects from 2005 to 2008 Hi and thanks for taking a moment.Unfortunately our group has been trying to migrate projects from tfs 2005 boxes to tfs 2008 boxes for the last year now. We have been around and around with both the TFS to TFS Migration Tool from Codeplex and the TFS Data Manager from OnePulse. The issues and headaches we have had with these are too many to even mention here. Unfortunately these just do not seem like viable options at this point. Trust me when I say these have been looked at thoroughly. I will gladly listen to any other advice or options anyone has to offer. Any feedback anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
