Moving Team Project Portals to a Different Server Running SharePoint Products and Technologies
You can move team project portals to a different server if the current and new servers are running Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. For example, you can move your project portals from the application-tier server for Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation Server to a server that hosts other sites.
To move your project portals to a different server, you will first migrate each of your team portals. Then you will install Team Foundation Server extensions for SharePoint Products and Technologies on the new server. Finally, you will update Team Foundation Server to look for and create team sites on the new server.
Move Team Sites
If the project portals are currently on a server that is running Windows SharePoint Services 2.0, you must upgrade that server to Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 before you move them. For more information, see Upgrading SharePoint Products and Technologies for Team Foundation Server.
To move project portals to a server that is running Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, see Migrate content or sites after upgrade (Windows SharePoint Services) on the Microsoft Web site. To move project portals to a server that is running Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, see Migrate content or sites after upgrade (Office SharePoint Server) on the Microsoft Web site.

If you are moving project portals to a server that has existing sites, you must follow the import/export method that is described in the migration topics. |
Install Extensions
To install the Team Foundation Server extensions for SharePoint Products and Technologies on the new server, you must access the installation media, open the WssExt folder, and run the Setup program in that folder.
Update Team Foundation Server
After you install the extensions, you must use TFSAdminUtil.exe to direct Team Foundation Server to use the server to which you moved your project portals.
TfsAdminUtil configureconnections /SharepointURI:http://SharepointServer:Port/sites /SharepointAdminUri:http://SharepointServer:AdminPort /SharepointUnc:\\SharepointServer\sites
The following table describes the values to use at the command prompt:
SharepointServer |
The name of the server on which SharePoint Products and Technologies are deployed. |
Port |
The port that SharePoint Products and Technologies use for user services. This value is typically 80. |
AdminPort |
The port that SharePoint Products and Technologies use for administrative services. |
Note
Even if you are logged on with administrative credentials, you must open an elevated Command Prompt to perform this function on a server that is running Windows Server 2008. To open an elevated Command Prompt, click Start, right-click Command Prompt, and click Run as Administrator. For more information, see the Microsoft Web site.
