The last time I configured automated deployments from scratch was on TFS 2008.
Visual Studio 2010 & TFS 2010 seem to have 'more things' built into it. What is the story nowadays for deploying websites, windows services, SSIS packages. Is TFS Deployer http://tfsdeployer.codeplex.com/ + powershell scripts to xCopy still the best bet. How about the new web packaging option in VS2010. How well does that play with TFS2010 / TFS Deployer? -David Burela
