Hi Neil,

This seems to be perfect to me, but what if more than one workspace are associated with a TFS project?

Thanks,
Rola

It is possible.
1. Install the Project Server but do not launch WSS Configuration Wizard
2. Install TFS and configure the WSS (with those command line commands)
3. Configure the PWA site on the WSS

Good luck!

Hi,
I have a problem. I could not find an answer however make a big search in the web. And I decided to ask this problem to the experts of this issue..
I installed teamserver to my windows server2003(updated)(With the guide of installation-step by step-) And it has succeeded..
Then I Wanted to install project server 2007 too. But I could not.
When Installing ProjectServer 2007, Installation is OK. When it has finished a screen which has "configuring sharepoint" checkbox" AndI checked it, OK. And I encountered this error here (In the error log file) :

"
An exception of type Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.PostSetupConfigurationTaskException was thrown. Additional exception information: Failed to upgrade SharePoint Products and Technologies.
Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.PostSetupConfigurationTaskException: Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.PostSetupConfigurationTaskException' was thrown.
at Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.UpgradeTask.Run()
at Microsoft.SharePoint.PostSetupConfiguration.TaskThread.ExecuteTask()"

I have tried this(all installation steps -beginning from sqlserver to the teamserver and project server-) 3 times..

So Could't I install "team foundationserver 2008" AND "project server 2007" to the same server (single server: application and data tier is in this) ?
Or what can I do for it?

I think the problem is: as you know team server configures the sharepoint and project server also wants to do that.. And they are in war : )

Please help me..!

Neil,
This guide is very funny. I connect perfectly VSTS and Project Server. On my case, I have two servers, VSTS Server and Project Server.
But I have only one doubt. On last step, “Edit WorkSpace Address”, What do I put? The URL of VSTS Server or URL of Project Server? On Publish Project, I already created the WorkSpace. Is It correct?

Best Regards.

Hello there!

I am unable to get this working as I am unable to accomplish the step where you have to assign a Project WorkSpace!

When I go to Server Settings -> Operational Policies -> Project Workspaces and Edit Site Address:

I do not get an option to change the SharePoint Site URL to TFS sharepoint URL. The "Web Application" drop down only lists the Project Server.

Thanks in advance

Cheers!
John

New to this whole sharepoint world… have project server 2007 and TFS 2008 on seperate servers. When I go to the site features of the TFS to enable the “Features” project server requires they are not listed; all I have is “Team Collaboration Lists” listed so I am unable to activate those feautures. Is there a way to get those Project Server specific site features over onto my TFS sharepoint site?

Great article! Do you know if you can use TeamPlain Web Access with project server? It seems after integrating project server with TFS, you get the standard SharePoint interface. I want to use the TeamPlain Web Access interface with TFS and project server.

Neal, this is a great comment. I will take the opportunity to read it over in detail and implement in my current environment, very similar to yours except for the fact that I run WSS 3.0 in both instances instead of MOSS. Any special 'tips' toward this fact, will be pretty much appreciated.

hello Neil,
A very good article and very useful one for me.
I have a query, I will be thankful if you will be able to solve it.

In our company intranet we have integrated TFS and MOSS2007. As I read in this article is that each project site is created as a new site collection in MOSS, I did not find a single site collection for the projects in the compan. I have tried to find out the entry of SiteCollection for a particular project in MOSS from Administrative site, but I could not find such sitecollection. Eventhough I can access the projectsite collection through url in my browser.

Actually I want to access top level site's data of this project sitecollection into a custom webpart. But I could not being able to see the site collection in the list of site collection in MOSS.

Thank You very Much Neil.. my issue is a bit more basic.

I can't get SharePoint 2007, Project Server 2007, and TFS 2008 to install.
I get SharePoint and Project together kay.. but no success at all with TFS 2008.
Every attempt brings a new error from missing templates.. extensions.. userid issues..

Is there a documented procedure out there that for installaing these 3 applications on the same server ?

What should I do if Project Server 2007 and TeamFoundation Server 2008 WSS is on different servers ?

The red “X” is present because permissions must be set at each tier, you must grant the user access to SSRS and WSS sites independently.

Very good Neil!
In my opinion, VSTS is more complicated than it should be. I found Project Server 2007 much more easy to set up, diagnose and control. As you, I'm also from a partner that uses A LOT all Microsoft Technologies, and I'm in charge of our EPM environment. I've noticed that your “Reports” folder is marked with a red cross, do you know why? The same happens in my env!

Thanks for the article. I am an EPM Specialist for our organization here in Durban and am currently investigating the installation of the VSTF connector for one of our departments, so nice to see the WSS integration too in case we go down this route.
