Tfs

Hi guys, Recently work has switched from clearcase to tfs. The only problem is when I go to check in, it tries to check in all the .vsspscc files as well. Is this normal for tfs? Or is it a configuration problem, and if so server or client? This is the first time I've used it as befo

Upgrading TFS 2008 to TFS 2012

G'day Folks, I am researching what is required to upgrade / migrate TFS 2008 to TFS 2012. I note that TFS 2012 can only be installed on a 64 bit OS , so if you are on a 32 bit OS you cannot do an in-place upgrade, you need to migrate. This is for a local government authority, and there is

Cloud TFS

Folks, while stuffing around today I noticed that VS2012 has an option to create a TFS account, so I made https://*mybusiness*.visualstudio.comaccount, then I created a new Team Project for my current hobby project. My only questions are now ... what have I done and what can I do with it? For
