On 2012.

I think the old server was 2003 even and on physical, now we are on 2012 with 
virtual.

Thanks

Thanks Clint. Did you install TFS on server 2008 or server 2012?

The initial upgrade process (migration) was pretty smooth for me when I did it 
recently, but I had a lot of issues down the track.

Some of the point of hand we had included

-           Issue in the process template were nothing would list in the 
assigned to field, had to manually edit the work item templates, this may have 
been due to the template coming initially from tfs 2005 (we had upgraded once 
before)
-          The build agent couldn't be installed on XP, and I had existing 
build servers for building vb6 assets. Had to move to win7, and get vb6 working 
there, which is not trivial
-          I upgraded away from the xml based build process, to the new 
workflow build process, has issues replicating some custom build activities 
needed for my vb6 assets. Had to compromise on a couple points there.


Can't think of anything else right now, it's been a slow gradual process for 
me, done in-between other tasks.

Thanks

Subject: Upgrading TFS 2008 to TFS 2012

G'day Folks,

I am researching what is required to upgrade / migrate TFS 2008 to TFS 2012. I 
note that TFS 2012 can only be installed on a 64 bit OS , so if you are on a 32 
bit OS  you cannot do an in-place upgrade, you need to migrate.

This is for a local government authority, and there is a mix of project types 
in the current TFS 2008 repository from WPF, ASP.Net, Wiforms, VB.NET C#, 
VS2005, VS2008, and VS2010 format.

I am wanting to find out if anyone else has gone down this path and what the 
experience has been like.

Regards,
Brendan Tierney
