Update on Team Foundation Server Migration and Synchronization

Unlike the other videos in today's series this one doesn't focus specifically on Team Foundation Server 2010. But since I was "in the neighborhood" I dropped by Doug Neumann's office to catch up on the latest tools and samples available for people wishing to migrate to or synchronize with Team Foundation Server. As the popularity of Team Foundation Server continues to rise, so does the demand for migration and synchronization solutions. Doug's team has been working hard to help people in this area.

The sites Doug mentions in this interview are:
TFS Migration and Synchronization Toolkit
Timely Migration
TFS to TFS Migration Tool
Migration and Integration Solutions

One question that I have regarding the migration and synchronization toolkit:

Would it be possible with the current toolkit code to provide synchronization from from our current TFS 2008 single-server to a separate TFS 2010 CTP Server to work with the new tool features against our real code without causing issues with our current TFS 2008 server?

This would allow us to parallel test the CTP Smiley

Thanks in advance for any comments and thanks for providing this great content Smiley

Theoretically something like that might be possible, but since the CTP does not have a "Go Live" license this would not be legally permitted.
