Happy Buyer: What's in the TFS product box?

Contents of the Product Box:

  • Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server (1 CD with Microsoft Genuine hologram [2])
  • MSDN Library (3 CDs)

 

On the Team Foundation Server CD, labeled "VSTFD1", you'll find the following folders:

  • \: Team Foundation Server Installation [3] & Administrator's Guides [4]
  • \atdt: Team Foundation Server (For Single-Server installations)

  • \build: Team Foundation Server Build (aka Team Build)
  • \KB913393: Hotfix KB913393 for ASP.NET [5]
    • "The asp.net hotfix is to be able to support large files attachments in asp.net.  Currently TFS rely on this functionality to be existing and would fail if it is not." Devil
  • \proxy: Team Foundation Proxy
  • \SQLServerKB: Hotfix KB914595 for SQL Server [7]
    • "The SQL hotfix is for analysis services to fix some issues emerging during the processing of cubes in the warehouse that affect performance and cause other undesired behaviors." Devil
