11:07:20 PDT Question: Why would you not put a build server on the main TFS server? Is it just a resource thing or is there more to it than that? Answer: Answered by Andrew
11:09:05 PDT Question: Can you use network service accounts if you install across separate application, database, and SharePoint ttiers? Answer: Answered verbally
11:09:26 PDT Question: How come my install is missing 'reporting'? Answer: Potentially, you have a Basic install.

YOu basically copy over some of the databases and do an upgrade via command line or UI.

Q&A Log
11:13:22 PDT Question: Is the code being for testing delivered raw or compiled? and does this impact how you need to set up your environment? Not sure if this is relevant today... Answer: @Techanalyst. I didn't understand the context here, can you rephrase: Is the code being for testing delivered raw or compiled? and does this impact how you need to set up your environment?
11:14:17 PDT Question: I'm new to this and trying to move my Dev team off of VSS... Can you build 32bit apps as well as 64bit apps on TFS 2012? Also when you use the build agent does it compile all code or only what you select, a project under the TPC? Answer: Hi DMC - You can build both 32bit and 64bit application. You can also choose exactly what solutions/projects are built. I'll demonstrate this a little elater today.
11:14:19 PDT Question: I setup TFS last week, but i'm just a single developer. Would TFS allow me to share my projects with msft developers directly on Ohours.org? Answer: @AudibleDesigns: Yes, but you need to expose your TFS to the internet. For a single dev I would HIGHLY encourage http://tfs.visualstudio.com for cloud hosting. (Free for up to 5 users.)
11:15:12 PDT Question: Never mind I found the answer in the installation guide: Because Team Foundation Server installs SharePoint Foundation 2010 with the standard configuration, you can't use it on Windows Server 2012. If you want to install Team Foundation Server on Windows Server 2012, use the advanced configuration and skip the installation of SharePoint Foundation 2010. Answer: @Erica, nice find in the install guide! :-D
11:15:44 PDT Question: Do I need a proxy server on the build box if users are only pulling down source deltas? Answer: Hi Kevin, Steve's advice about having a TFS Proxy for Build was to reduce the "get" load that the build server would place on the TFS server. It had nothing to do with users in this case.
11:17:22 PDT Question: you mentioned earlier about fronting the build agents with a TFS proxy server to reduce performance impact based on builds pulling down the entire workspace...could you not simply address that by configuring your build definition to clean "none" so that only incremental source changes are pulled down to the agent(s)? Answer: Hi mmikkelson, yes this could have that effect but it could impact more than just improving performance. The proxy option would give you the perf benefits independently of the workspace cleaning.
11:18:26 PDT Question: Hi.. Can Build Service & Application Tier sit on same server? Answer: Hi PradeepMN, yes, you could put a Build Controller on the application tier. Remember you need a Build Controller for each TPC and you can only have one controller on a machine.

11:21:08 PDT Question: Sometimes you don't want to have the same user authorizations on the build servers vs the tfs servers Answer: Good point
11:25:56 PDT Question: Dedicated domain accounts tips and tricks on how to best set them up? any good links? Answer: Techanalyst, take a look at the topic "Accounts Required for Installation of Team Foundation Server" in the Install.chm file.
11:27:51 PDT Question: Why i can't use one build controller for many team project collections? I've only found the possibility to assign one build controller to one TPC. Answer: Hi Peter, I can confirm that build controllers can only be assigned to a single TPC by design. I don't know why though
11:31:25 PDT Question: Give us links please Answer: Hi Mohammad_Davoudzadeh:, links are provided in the slides you can download. Are there other links you're looking for?
11:33:04 PDT Question: @Techanalyst: here you find a perhaps better overview of the accounts for tfs / sharepoint http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ms253149.aspx Answer: sharing
11:38:39 PDT Question: If you are upgrading TFS 2010 to TFS 2012 in place, can start your upgrade install from TFS 2012 Update2 ISO, and skip TFS 2012 RTM iso? Answer: Hi Mikhail SQL, You can upgrade from TFS2010 to any of the TFS 2012 Updates without going through the RTM version first.
11:39:50 PDT Question: How To Copy de Team Project of one colletion a other server? nota:I sorry my englis is bab Answer: Hi DannyBarrientos, You cannot copy a Team Project independently. Only TPC's are "portable".
11:40:55 PDT Question: Thaqnks, can we rename the databases when backing it up on the old tfs to avoid collision with exisiting name like DefaultCollection Answer: Hi eliassal, I think Steve just answered your question

Q&A Log
11:48:18 PDT Question: would creating a single server (adequately scaled) to host TFS Proxy, Build Controller and Test Controller be an OK scenario? Answer: Hi mmikkelson, this seems reasonable.
12:02:46 PDT Question: Does the exam give you any screen shots to refer to involving the question or is it strickly text based questions-select the correct answers? Answer: Hi bwhiting23, sometimes exam questions include Exhibits which may include screenshots.

12:17:13 PDT Question: so without the ability to specify alternate credentials for the backup, will it default to being performed by the "TFSSERVICE" account? Answer: Yes
12:20:01 PDT Question: Where I can see this video again? thanks Answer: We will post the recording on microsoftvirtualacademy.com early next week

Question: @jensk : thanks. changing the chart is not that feasible. You can allways vote for that here http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/suggestions/2792800-burndown-chart-shouldexclude-non-work-days but it's marked as planned. So i would say it will appear sooner or later Answer: sharing

14:46:40 PDT Question: well I was specifically looking for cumulative flow charts for a release and cycle time measurements for Features Answer: @Sina, you can find the cumulative flow charts for requirements in the Board view of the Product Backlog. No cycle time measures out of the box.
14:47:54 PDT Question: Thanks, but we did not see how external doc were transferred SharePoint and reports Answer: @eliassal, you won't find anything around uploading documents to SharePoint on the test (other than the fact that it is possible). We did upload an SSRS report to SSRS. Does that help?

14:51:46 PDT Question: Minor correct, it was Vs2012 update2 that broke it. Subsequent update to tis update 2 solved it "Method not found: 'Void Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform.Utilities.ClientUtilities.InitializeTestPlatform(Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestPlatform. ObjectModel.Client.ITestPlatform, System.String, " Answer: sharing
14:51:54 PDT Question: Please clarify the "merge on save" for work items. Answer: This means two people can both edit a work item at the same time. Prior to TFS 2012, the last person to save the work item would have to discard their changes.
14:52:19 PDT Question: I Can to download Dashboards Remaining Work in use a other proyect? Answer: Yes, you can, but you may have to do a couple configuration changes.
14:53:01 PDT Question: is there any known issues with TFS 12 express and windows 8? I tried it for couple of week, but it made my comp unstable and non-responsive. Answer: Sopuli, I'm not sure. I haven't had that experience, and haven't heard of others having it either, but it's something I would believe.
14:53:53 PDT Question: We have some projects that cannot use MSBuild. Is there any easy way to specify a different compiler in the build definition? Answer: Pramod, no there isn't, however you can just call out to a command line to execute your build engine. I've done that a lot in the past.
14:54:22 PDT Question: if the notification url is modified does the port number still need to be included? Answer: @jadiaz. I'm not sure, but I would gues that you would need to include the port number.

14:59:55 PDT Question: why we need to remove the LAB Manager Resources first? Answer: @Juan, the Lab Manager resources are associated with a TPC. So if you don't remove them, they transition with the TPC and might get corrupted.
15:00:30 PDT Question: Dedicated build service account as opposed to the system account. How do you set up the dedicated build Service account? Answer: @Techanalyst, you can use the Active Directory tools to create a new user, and assign them the Service property. (or something like that)
15:01:31 PDT Question: Can you please repeat what is the interest of "Disable Tests", how can we disable tests when we are doing build deploy test, it was not clear Answer: @eliassal, if you disable tests, then the automated tests won't be run during the build->deploy->test activity, basically making it a build->deploy activity.
15:03:01 PDT Question: Can i have a unique proxy server linked to multiple team Project collections? Answer: @Eider, yes, you can link a single Proxy server to multiple TPCs I'll be showing that soon.
15:03:51 PDT Question: What is that oi url again pls? Answer: OI url is http://localhost:8080/tfs/_oi, assuming that you've installed with defaults.

Question: steven, do you disable test "Unit Tests" or system tests at the end of deploy Answer: @eliassal, I don't generally disable my tests at the end of a deploy, unless I have some time constraints.
15:07:22 PDT Question: There was an add-in for VS2010 for editing the templates through a GUI... does that exist for 2012 yet? Answer: @Joris, yes, you can use the Process TEmplate Editor that comes with the Power Tools.
15:07:55 PDT Question: Steven, do you mean unit tests or system tests that need to be executed after deploy such as Coded UI Answer: @eliassal, I like to run all of my tests! :-D Unit and system.
15:09:15 PDT Question: @Joris: I have used it extensively and it is great. I did however still prefer to just edit some XML directly at times, though. But I'm a code monkey Answer: @Josh, plus the XML is the only thing on the test since the editor is from the power tools.
15:09:33 PDT Question: @DannyBarrientos: It is really much easier to customize your process templates with the process editor Answer: @Erica, agreed,unless you have to do a lot of customization.
15:09:52 PDT Question: me too and that is why I was confused with Anthony indicated that it is a good idea to disable to ensure deployment Answer: @eliassal, I disagree with him and agree with you! :-D
15:10:27 PDT Question: Oh! Okay. I thought that you were doing something special. So you simply create a user with the appropriate policies and services. No prob. Thanks StevenBorg Answer: @Techanalyst, you're welcome.
15:11:20 PDT Question: Sorry... My Question is incorrect. If I check Gated Check-in the continuous integration also will work if a build pass trough gate? Answer: @Roberto. No, if you use Gated Check-in it will not trigger a CI build. It does this by passing *** NO_CI *** as a comment in the check-in.
15:11:56 PDT Question: are their still tasks that are needed to purge attachments? Answer: Yes, purging attachments is still a pain.

15:13:46 PDT Question: In the filter test, any easy trick to filter integration tests from the rest of unit tests? Answer: @balas, you can use Categories, or different test lists, but I'd have to Bing that to give you a good answer.
15:13:49 PDT Question: FRANK! Answer: hey Michael!
15:16:12 PDT Question: Do you have to know the details of the xml syntax of ProcessTemplate.xml for the exam? I just use the Process Editor that PowerTools gives me to edit my process templates in a GUI Answer: @Erica, yes, you have to know SOME very, very minor XML knowledge since the Process Template Editor is from the power tools, so no, you can't get by with just PTE knowledge
15:17:27 PDT Question: Hi Frank! Answer: Hey Techanalyst! Great seeing you online my friend!
15:18:05 PDT Question: @Frank: I'm learning a ton, but also they are confirming that the decisions I came up with on my own were the correct ones Answer: Hey Josh... I totally get that! Validation is often times just as important!
15:19:07 PDT Question: Haha! I got VERY good at command line TFSDeleteProject because of creating so many template test projects >_< Answer: @Josh, I'm with you!
15:21:40 PDT Question: How do you know which template version a tfs project is using? What happens if I make a mistake and I try to override with a wrong version? Is it possible to upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1 safely for example? Answer: Great question, I think Steven is taking this live. Live Event Date: May 29, 2013 Page 16 of 18
