SharePoint Foundation 2013 with TFS 2012

Question

Hi all,

I did is fresh install of Windows Server 2012, together with SQL Server 2012 (including SSRS and SSAS), and also SharePoint Foundation 2013 standalone. After this, I did a clean TFS 2012 RC installation, and everything went perfect, it detected SSRS and SSAS, but also the SharePoint instance.

I performed all this on an English (1033) machine and on an English SharePoint installation. Problem is when I create a new Team Project, it fails with the error:

F249033: The site template is not available for the locale identifier (LCID). The site template name is: Team Foundation Server Project Portal. The LCID is: 1033.

Any ideas on this one? Is SharePoint Foundation 2013 supported, or can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Hi Alexander,

Are you using a latest mode Sharepoint site collection? TFS RC Dashboards do not support latest mode site collections. For the RC dashboards, please use a legacy (2010) mode site collection. RTM Dashboards will support latest mode site collections.

Please reply to this thread to indicate whether this fixed the issue or not. If not, we can look into the issue further.

Thanks,

Kelly

Hi Kelly,

Great! That was the problem indeed. I removed the Site Collection in SharePoint Foundation 2013, and created a new one with the 2010 mode. Creating a new Team Project works like a charm now, thanks!

Will make a small blog post about it :-)

Thanks again!

Answer 4

As others have stated you need to use SharePoint 2010 mode with the RC, but now that both SharePoint 2013 & TFS 2012 have RTM'ed and have been released to both MSDN & VL customers I created a soup to nuts integration post:

Let me know how you get on as I am always interested in issues that folks have :)
