In my last series of post I’ve looked at how you can rename server which runs TFS components and reconfigure them so that the platform can be operational again. In this new series i’ll explain how to realize an installation using DNS aliases so that future server changes will be simplified by simply changing the alias 
Even you start with a single server installation, using DNS aliases for all components will simplify your task if you need to make some evolution later. Here’s the list of components on which we will have an alias:

A small post to inform you that Microsoft released a standalone installer for the Team Foundation Server 2010 SP1 client Object Model API! You can found it on the Visual Studio Gallery here:

Before this installer, if you wanted to develop an application that interacts with TFS you needed to install Team Explorer to have those few needed DLLs… this isn’t the cas anymore Of course licencing doesn’t change and your user will still need a TFS CAL.
A TFS 2012 version will be available with the RTM.
