Hello folks,

Recently I was involved in Installation and Configuration of Team Foundation Server 2010 Farm for a client. A month after the installation and configuration was done and everything was working as it was supposed to, Microsoft released Team Foundation Server 2012 in mid August 2012. Well the company was using Borland Starteam as their source control and once starting to use TFS 2010, their developers and project managers were loving it since TFS is not just a source control tool and way much better then StarTeam. Anyways, long story short, they are now interested in thinking of upgrading to the newest version. 

Below are some basic Hardware and Software requirements for TFS 2012:

Operating System:

• Windows Server 2008 with SP2 (only 64bit)
• Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 (only 64bit)
• Windows Server 2012 (only 64bit)

SQL Server:

• SQL Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2012
• SQL Server 2008 is no longer supported.
• SQL Server Requirements for TFS.

SharePoint Products:

• SharePoint Server 2010. (SharePoint Foundation 2010, Standard, Enterprise).
• MOSS 2007 (Standard, Enterprise)
• Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS 3.0)
• SharePoint Products Requirements for TFS.

Project Server:

• Project Server 2010 with SP1.
• Project Server 2007 with SP2.
• Project Server Requirements for TFS.

Thanks,
