 Standard In-Place Upgrade  TFS Application Tier Will Use the Same Hardware It’s Using Right Now TFS Application Tier Will Use the Same Hardware It’s Using Right Now  Outline of Upgrade ◦ Backup TFS 2010 from TFS Admin Console  Available once TFS 2010 Power Tools December 2011 installedPower Tools December 2011 ◦ Uninstall TFS 2010 ◦ Install TFS 2012 ◦ Run TFS Upgrade Wizard  Excellent verification wizards  Fall-back ◦ Uninstall TFS 2012 ◦ Install TFS 2010 ◦ Restore TFS 2010 using built in tool ◦ Run Config Wizard  Early Adopter Experience – last 6 months ◦ Good upgrade, no significant problems

 Build Server is a Separate Instance  Therefore Compilation & Linking unchanged ◦ Delivered code is the same ◦ Only Build Agents updated

 Post TFS 2012 Upgrade ◦ Access to existing data from team projects that you created in previous releases unchanged.  Project Upgrade Procedure ◦ Use the Configure Features wizard to update existing team projects created in earlier versions of TFS to use the features made available with the TFS Server upgrade. ◦ Test on Shadow project first – TFS Project Test. ◦ Once project updated, users can access the new features for managing the application lifecycle.
