Now that my TFS 2008 runs smooth, I like to move use the WSS 3.0 portal that I already have in place. Because after the upgrade process, TFS was still linked to the old WSS 2.0 on that machine (because TFS2005 could only link to a local WSS 2.0).
For me, the benefits of linking TFS 2008 to the WSS 3.0 on the other server are:
- Better integration;
- Only one WSS instance. Easier maintenance;
- Better use of resources. Now I can uninstall WSS 2.0;
I changed 4 records in the TFSIntegration database, tbl_service_interface table:
| Name | URL |
| BaseServerUrl | http://<wssserver> |
| BaseSiteUnc | \\<wssserver>\Sites |
| BaseSiteUrl | http://<wssserver>/sites |
| WssAdminservice | http://<wssserver>:<adminpoort>/_vti_bin/admin.asmx |
The next step is to move the TFS databases and OLAP to the same server as where my WSS runs. If I succeed in that, I can also uninstall an instance of SQL Server, Reporting Services and Analysis Services.
