TFS 2008 to TFS 2010 Migration

Here’s how we migrated our TFS 2008 to TFS 2010. This is not an in-place migration. What is generally recommended as upgrade path is to backup the TFS 2008 DBs, restore them in the new TFS data tier and then install TFS 2010. This will migrate all the projects at once.

We went to quite a lot of trouble to create our own process template and we do not want to lose that work. I posted a question on MSDN forums about customized process templates migration without much success. So, I decided to dive in on our test environment and see what happens. Test procedure: Prepare a test machine with Windows Server 2003, TFS2005, VisualStudio 2008...
