Can I simply uninstall Beta 1 (TFS, .net4 framework, and VS2010) and continue on with the VM I'm currently running?

 

Looking forward to using this.

Hi PKZ,

 

Great question. Yes you should be able to do that. But just be advised that upgrading from beta 1 of TFS 2010 to beta 2 of TFS 2010 is not an officially supported scenario. So if you intend to take advantage of the "go live" license to run this in a production capacity then you should really be installing on a clean box.

On clean W2K8 R2 Install, clean SQL Standard SP1, I get the following error on the TFS readiness validation:

 

[ Reporting ] TFxxxxxx: SQL Server Reporting Services is configured to require a secure connection, however no HTTPS URL is configured with a valid certificate. Use the Reporting Services Configuration Manager to configure or remove HTTPS support.

 

However, I don't see any checkbox in "Reporting Services Configuration Manager" to turn off HTTPS.  Any way to supress this?  Configuration wizard won't let me continue without fixing this issue.

Hi Bitterman,

I haven't seen that one yet. Can you please visit our TFS forum (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfsprerelease/threads) and post your query there? We've got product team experts standing by who should be able to help. If you don't get a timely response ping me back via my blog.

Brian, what is the supported policy on moving data from TFS-B2 to RTM?  Will there be a migration path?

 

Edit: Appears there is, just read the show notes.
