1) Log on to the server using an administrative account (this is the account under which the setup
process will be executed)

2) Install SQL Server 2005 with the following services:

2-1) Mixed authentication mode (SQL and Widnows) - Admin account and sa account.
2-2) Default instance rather than a named instance
2-3) With Reporting Services installed on port 80 - Default Web Site
2-4) SQL Server Analysis Services with automatic start up
2-5) SQL Server Browser service with automatic start up

Reporting Services is installed on the Default Web Site (Port 80)

4) Install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 hotfix and Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 hotfix (KB913393) that
come with TFS disk.

5) Create two user accounts, one for TFS and the other one for team Foundation Server Reporting
account(svc_tfs and svc_rs_tfs).For more information on how to set up these user accounts please refer
to the following link in the TFS documentation. It is very important that you create these user
accounts and properly use them throughout your installation otherwise you will see multiple
application pools created after TFS installation , SharePoint Admin does not work or you would
experience a broken installation of TFS or RS or WSS due to the connectivity issues.

1) Don’t install the Team Foundation Server Workgroup Edition if you are planning to scale up your team
to a team more than five users.

2) You can upgrade Team Foundation Server Workgroup Edition to Team Foundation Server:
