Rob Caron’s definately busy today pushing out posts on TFS now the VSTS product has RTM’d with TFS Beta 3 Refresh. In this post he makes mention of a little issue that caught me when I installed TFS Beta 3. (Fortunately the System Check pointed out the problem immediately).
Installing SQL Server for Team Foundation Server Beta 3 Refresh
Just to be clear, you must install the final, released version of SQL Server 2005 to use Beta 3 Refresh. However, since it appears that only SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition is available for download from MSDN, you need to be aware of one extra step before you install Team Foundation Server. In Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, Developer Edition, and Evaluation Edition, remote connections are disabled by default. In other editions, remote connections are enabled by default. To use SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition with Team Foundation Server, you must first enable remote connections.
