I just completed the install of single-tier Team Foundation Server 2008 on a Windows Server 2008 Standard environment. This installation is slightly different from installing in a Windows Server 2003 environment. I ran into the dreaded 28100 error, but after rebuilding again and changing a few items, the install worked fine.
For the most part, follow the TFS install guide to the letter. There are a few slight deviations:
- When installing IIS, follow the Reporting Services 2005 requirements. This includes a few additional things that need to be installed.
- When installing the .NET 3.0 components, only install the .NET 3.0 framework. Do not install any additional features!
- Note that in Windows 2008 you must install Sharepoint WITH SP1 before installing TFS 2008. After following the instructions, navigate to both the Central Admin and site on port 80 and ensure that your "TFSAdmin" account has admin rights in both locations. In my setup, it was configured correctly in Central Admin, but not on the main site. I had to add the TFS Admin account as a site collection administrator.
Good luck!
