Can I add an existing 2008 build server to new TFS 2010 server?

Question

My scenario is this: I am currently testing out a new Team Foundation Server 2010 installation; which we will be moving to shortly.

Upgrading builds to work with TFS 2010 and the new MSBuild seems like a lot of work (it does not work out-of-the-box, at least). So what I would like to do, is to repurpose our old TFS Server to be a build server for TFS 2010. It already has build services installed.

I cannot figure out how to add an existing TFS 2008 Build Server to my new TFS 2010 installation, so I can use the old server to run old builds. Is this possible ? How can I do it ?

Answer 1

You can only connect a TFS 2010 build server to TFS 2010. I think you may be hosed as I think the installer for TFS 2010 will want to upgrade your TFS 2008 instance.

Is there any reason you are keeping TFS 2008 around?

Why not remove TFS 2008 and install the TFS 2010 build service?
