Here is what we did. We called our support guys at Server Intellect where our server is managed and had them resolve the issue. Save time and headaches!

I agree with Chris… It took me 3 days of failed attempts to instal TFS 2005 before reading the documentation. After reading it… the instalation went smoothly. Unfortunatly I cannot say the same thing about upgrading from TFS 2005 to TFS 2008.

Tudor,
You have obviously never installed TFS before. When I first began the process of installing 2005, shortly after its release, I spent 4 days trying to get it to work. Finally, beaten down, I read the docs. After reading the docs I started over and completed the install in 3 hours.

With a car, you’re absolutely right the experience should be similar as to what you had before. However, I wouldn’t expect a database server installation to be anywhere near the same thing as installing a notepad replacement.

Reporting Services 2005 is always grief (in my experience).
The whole user / security model just seems so broken – more like a beta than anything.
It may work fine for a purely inhouse anything goes approach but as soon as you try and add user based security it tends to go horriblky wrong

From what I’ve read, you had quite an adventure But at least you’ll know how to setup the system when the RTMs come out.

As for the “Always, always, always read the documentation on uninstalling software”, seriously Cretz, it’s not gonna work.I mean why would I waste my time reading proses on how to do something, when I know how the setup procedure should work (either form previous versions or similar products). Do any of us read the “setup documentation” when we buy a new door, a car,… Maybe the “how to use the new stuff” chapter. But the idea is that the experience should be the same or easier as before.

PS: let’s hope this happened because of BETA and the RTM will rock
