This release of TFS works only with Visual Studio 2005 Release Candidate 1 that we made available to MSDN subscribers and PDC attendees last week.
This release is based on the September SQL Server 2005 Community Technology Preview also made available to PDC attendees last week.
TFS Beta 3 includes a Go-Live license as well as product support (details below). Users may sign up for a click-through Go-Live license (which will be available w/in a couple days… still waiting for final legal approval).
TFS Beta 3 will not be localized into languages other than US English.
Anyone who "goes live" with TFS Beta 3 will need to update their server and client deployments to the TFS Beta 3 Refresh when it’s available because TFS Beta 3 will not work with the final RTM bits. You will need the TFS Beta 3 Refresh to work with the RTM bits.
We will release a Beta 3 Refresh which synchronizes TFS with the final RTM bits of VS/SQL. This release will be available to MSDN subscribers for download from the MSDN download center. It will also be available in the Visual Studio 2005 Team System Trial Edition kit that will be available beginning with our November 7, 2005 launch. It will also be available to all users of the Team System client products.
What I am trying to determine right now is if TFS will really work without AD. The directions still talk about domain accounts which require AD although there is a “To set up and configure Team Foundation Server using a single-server deployment on a computer that is a member of a workgroup, you can use local user accounts.” and that's it on that.
