Deploying Team Foundation Server at Microsoft

Brian Harry posted a link to a new technical case study from Microsoft IT on deploying Team Foundation Server at Microsoft.

Our IT operations team put together a whitepaper here Deploying Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server as an Enterprise-Wide Service Technical Case Study that describes how they have rolled out the TFS service offering here at Microsoft.  It describes how one team provides TFS projects to any product group in Microsoft that wants to use it.  It covers the benefits TFS provides to Microsoft, a brief feature set and architectural overview, some organizational insight into how the operations team divides up responsibility and some guidelines we've developed for how we move teams to TFS.

  If you haven't read it. You should. It made my heart all warm to read:
  
  ·         Get universal acceptance. To successfully implement standardization, an organization must get universal acceptance. A mandate from the chief information officer or other executive is strongly recommended, along with formation of an enterprise management office team for migration planning.

  Have you tried upgrading from the RC to Team Foundation Server Trial Edition while you await your replacement disc?
