TFS 2010 to 2011 upgrade

Question

We currently host our TFS service on a basic one server install, Windows Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 2008 Standard, and SharePoint Services 3.0 (installed & configured by the TFS installation) 

We have been asked to install the SCCM 2007 Dashboard. My question is if anyone knows if installing the SCCM dashboard will prevent upgrading from TFS 2010 to TFS 2011. I suspect this to be tricky to answer as I haven't found any information about upgrade paths from TFS 2010 to 2011, but any thoghts are welcome.

Hi Paul, 

Thanks for your post. 

What’s the “installing the SCMM dashboard will prevent upgrading from TFS 2010…” mean? To installing the SCCM dashboard when you are upgrading the TFS from 2010 to TFS 11?

If you installed the SCMM dashboard on your server machine, I don’t think it will prevent the upgrading process from TFS 2010 to TFS 11.

For how upgrade from TFS 2010 to TFS 11, please refer to the detailed steps in this article: http://dotnet.dzone.com/news/upgrading-tfs2010-visual.

For more information about TFS 11,  you can post it at TFS vNextforum for the better response.

Answer 2

My quesiton is if installing the SCCM Dahsboard on our TFS2010 server (making use of SharePoint Services) will prevent upgrading from TFS2010 to TFS vNext/11.

The link is OK for installing the Beta of TFS 11. i'm looking long term and if anyine is awre of the 'official' upgrade process.

I'll post on the vNext forum to see if i can get any other responses.
