Hi OzTFS'ers, Brian Randell blogged this recently for those that are interested: http://www.pluralsight.com/community/blogs/brian/archive/2008/12/24/happy-holidays-and-look-what-santa-s-brought.aspx
Also note that the VS2010 CTP will expire Jan 1 2009. See my blog post for how to workaround it: http://blogs.msdn.com/granth/archive/2008/12/10/visual-studio-2010-ctp-vpc-will-expire-jan-1-2009.aspx Grant --- I'm happy to report that the VSTS virtual machines are all updated with fresh bits and expiration dates. You now can test and evaluate (since these images are NOT licensed for production use) Team System 2008 with SP1. The new expiration date is December 31, 2009. That's right, we've produced the same pair as before. A VSTS "all-up" image with Team Foundation Server, Team Build, Team Explorer, and Team Suite. And a TFS "only" image with just Team Foundation Server, Team Build, and Team Explorer. What's different is that we've produced both Virtual PC 2007/Virtual Server 2005 R2 compatible images AND Hyper-V compatible images. Download the ones that make you happy! As part of the refresh and extending the expiration date, I've updated the images to include the following (naturally some items only appear in the "all-up" images): * the latest virtual machine additions or integration services components * all of the latest Windows Updates as of December 1, 2008 * Team Foundation Server 2008 SP1 * Visual Studio 2008 Team Suite SP1 * Team System Web Access 2008 SP1 * Team Foundation Power Tools, October 2008 update * the latest MSSCCI provider * Team Explorer 2005 (this allows you to work with TFS from Visual Studio 2005 which is installed so that you can edit and customize TFS reports) * the GDR for the product formally known as Visual Studio 2008 Database Edition (aka Data Dude) * current Process Explorer, Process Monitor, and Background Info Naturally at this point, you're wondering, where are the goods? Here they are: * VSTS "all-up" Virtual PC/Virtual Server image<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c7a809d8-8c9f-439f-8147-948bc6957812&displaylang=en> (6 GB download, expands to 15 GB) * TFS "only" Virtual PC/Virtual Server image<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=72262ead-e49d-43d4-aa45-1da2a27d9a65> (3 GB download, expands to 8 GB) * VSTS "all-up" Hyper-V image<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9eb65c97-29c9-4d05-ae45-73d22ad4b86e> (6 GB download, expands to 15 GB) * TFS "only" Hyper-V image<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=39644cdd-db4d-445e-b087-dd3e3cdf03fb> (3 GB download, expands to 8 GB) The Virtual PC 2007/Virtual Server 2005 R2 compatible images provide VMC files for Virtual PC 2007 SP1 and Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 Update. The VMC file that ends in -V7 is for Virtual PC and the one that ends in -R2 is for, well, Virtual Server. The Hyper-V downloads only contain the VHD. You'll need to configure them yourself. I wanted to make it as easy as possible. And as a reminder, these images do not contain antivirus so follow your corporate policy before you bring them up on a network. That said, they are all built from the same base so duplicate IDs on a network is possible. Use Shared NAT or one of the many other options to get network access without causing problems. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- List address: [email protected] Subscribe: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [email protected] List FAQ: http://www.codify.com/lists/oztfs Other lists you might want to join: http://www.codify.com/lists
