General DiscussionMoving TFS to a new domain

    Hi,

    I'm trying to move our TFS  (single server mode) to another domain (dual server mode).

    My problem is the old domain and the new one don't trust each other.

    I can't complete the step "Rename the data-tier". Indeed, the RenameDT command tries to access the old data tier because the TFSSETUP account is not visible from the old domain.

    Is there a workaround?

    Thanks for your help,

    David

    Hi David
     

    First of all, make sure you follow the correct document: Moving Team Foundation Server.

     

    I got 2 questions:

    1. Currently, you have one single server deployment of TFS, will that machine be used after the move? If so, is it going to be the new AT or net DT? 
    2. I would first move TFS to the new domain, then split it to dual server deployment. Do you mean you meet this error during moving the TFS to the new domain?

     

    The RenameDT command should NOT access the old data machine. Before running RenameDT, you do need to configure the connection string to point to the old DT. RenameDT command will replace the old DT name with new DT name to get the new connection string. Then it uses the new connection string to connect to your new DT and update databases. It will not connect to your old DT. So, what is the exact error message?

    Hi Bill,

    Sorry for not responding in the first place.
    I think I see what the problem is. The first time I launched RenameDT command, it failed for any reason. However, it seems to have changed the old DT name in the config file with the new one. As I didn't modified this file myself, I didn't check it and supposed it contained the correct value but it didn't.

    Your post helped me to figure out what happened.

    Thanks!

    David
