Upgrading TFS 2010 RC to TFS 2010 RTM

Upgrading TFS 2010 RC to TFS 2010 RTM

 

The recommended step for installation is to uninstall the RC version and install RTM on the Application Tier.  I found a great post to follow by Martin Hinshelwoods. http://geekswithblogs.net/hinshelm/archive/2010/04/12/_upgrading-from-tfs-2010-rc-to-tfs-2010-rtm-done.aspx   

The first step was to make sure I had all of the settings from the initial installation on hand such as the Data Tier and Service Users. I also made a list of urls for the Report Server and existing SharePoint installation. After uninstalling TFS RC and made an attempt to install RTM I was asked to Uninstall Team Explorer 2010 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Shell separately from the TFS Uninstall.  Just a minor difference from Martin Hinshelwood’s post. Once the installation was completed I started the RTM install wizard and chose the upgrade option. The process went as planned with no interruptions using the existing settings when prompted for credentials.  I have to admit I am falling in love with the new TFS 2010.
