Set up the TFS for remote connection

Question

Hi everyone,

could you help me to find some tutorial how to configure tfs for remote access from beginig?

I just installed Windows server and TFS.

How to set up the domain and so on.

Is it possible to run TFS, asp.net web app and wcf services at ones?

Thank you for you replies.

Answer 1

Hello - What version of Windows Server and TFS are you running?

Answer 2

Hello,

As Andrea points out, the specific steps to do this will depend on the version of TFS and the OS that you are running it on -- though in all cases the steps are similar.  It is possible to run TFS, Web Apps, and WCF services on the same machine, though most people choose not to.

There really aren't special instructions for doing this -- all the normal things apply like planning for load, planning your app pools, not doing anything that causes problems for SSRS if it's on that box.  All in all, though, it is pretty standard.

If you are planning to put hardware load balancers in the mix, I would suggest that you test very carefully as nuances in session handling for the specific hardware can complicate things.
