Configuring Your Server Using the Team Foundation Administration Console
You can perform many of the configuration and maintenance tasks for your deployment of Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) by using the administration console for Team Foundation. This console is installed by default on any server on which you install a component of Team Foundation. If all of your components are installed on a single server, the administration console provides management nodes for all components in your deployment. If, however, your deployment utilizes multiple servers, you must open the console on the server that is running the component that you want to manage.
