Team Foundation Server delivers source control, work item tracking, build, team project portal, reporting, and project management capabilities. Although Team Foundation Server is highly configurable and can be deployed in various server topologies, some topologies are not recommended and are therefore unsupported. This topic describes unsupported topologies for Team Foundation Server.
