If you were wondering why the Documents and Reports tabs are missing in TWA 2010:
This is by design. Here's how Microsoft explains it:
Portal and Reports are not necessary in TFS2010, and Web Access is included in TFS now, so Web Access does not show the content of Portal and Reports, these content is included in Project Portal.
In TFS2010, the project portal is more powerful. Project Portal will display dashbord(reports) of the project, also the documents are stored in portal. You will find that the portal is very useful in TFS2010.
We suggest that use WebAccess to manage Workitem and Build, Portal to view document and dashboad. If you are using Sharepoint 2010 with Office Web App, you can open word, excel or PPT in browser directly.
So the (new) recommandation for TFS 2010 is:
- Team Web Access for managing Work Items, Build and Source Code
- Project Portal for viewing Documents, Reports and Dashboards.

Microsoft ist frequently updating the docs for Visual Studio 2010.

Some guide or whitepaper missing? Let me know!
You have probably created a SharePoint site after creating the Team Project and a receiving the error message:
"This site doesn’t have a default Team Project."
Solution
You have to configure the project portal using Visual Studio Team Explorer 2010 using Team Project Settings » Portal Settings…
More Information
If you add a project portal to your team project (i.e. by running tfpt addprojectportal) you might receive the error message
TF255357: The following query was not found: Product Planning. Download the process template, open it, and verify that the query exists.
Reason:
The site template expects certain work item queries to exist (e.g. product planning).
Solution:
- On upgraded team projects, create the missing work item queries (you can copy/paste them from other MSF/Agile 5.0 projects).
- If you removed/renamed the default queries, undo that.
(Thanks to Rich Day for the post and the solution for this issue.)
The update for VS2008, called General Distribution Release (GDR), allows you to:
“The GDR enables teams to use TFS 2010 even if part of the team uses the 2008 client. Some new functions will require the 2010 client. However, the GDR lets you use the 2010 server to perform the same functions that you were able to perform in the 2008 client.”

Installation
Screenshots of a successfull installation of Team Foundation Server 2010 according to the Team Foundation Installation Guide 2010.
As prerequisite make sure you configured the following components for use by TFS:
Part 1: Installation
Part 2: Post-Install Configuration
Note: These screenshots show the “Advanced” wizard option. There are also “Standard” and “basic” wizards available.
Part 3: Validation
Screenshots of a successfull installation of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 according to the Team Foundation Installation Guide 2010.
Part 1: Installation
Part 2: Post-Install configuration
Screenshots of a successfull installation of SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) from SQL 2008 according to the Team Foundation Installation Guide 2010.
This step required the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 to be installed.
Part 1:Installation
Part 2: Post-Install Configuration
Screenshots of a successfull installation of Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 according to the Team Foundation Installation Guide 2010.
During this process you will add:
Screenshots of a successfull installation of SQL Server 2008 according to the Team Foundation Installation Guide 2010.
In this case TFS is installed in a dual-server configuration, meaning:
- Data Tier: containing SQL Server and Analysis Services
- App Tier: containing Reporting Services, Windows SharePoint Services and TFS itself
Installation
Note: In the sceenshots a new SQL instance is added to an existing database server.
Problem description
Team Project creation fails on the Team Foundation Server itself due to insufficient permissions although the user has all neccessary permissions in SQL Server Reporting Services (Content Manager role) as well as Windows SharePoint Services.
or
A red X is shown next to the Reports and Documents node when running Team Explorer on the Team Foundation Server itself.
Further obervations:
- You can access http://<server>/reports without problems.
- You can access the SharePoint Central Administration without problems.
- Creating team projects with Team Explorer from other machines work fine.
