We'll announce our next meeting speaker and date on this site in the coming month. Thanks for coming!
Q&A
Q. Can TFS integrate TFS with Clarify?
A. Yes via API/web services (true with just about any 3rd party tool)
Q. Does the TFS Setup account still need admin rights to create databases on SQL 2005 for TFS 2008? (setupwarehouse.exe)
A. For TFS 2008, only need to be a member of the SQL Server sysadmin role…not admin on the box as in TFS 2005. Information here.
Q. What's a label?
A. Good explanations here and here.
Q. Can I perform conditional deployment within OOtB features of TFS Build?
A. TFS performs limited deployment (post to a file share) with OOtB features. If needs are extensive, use PowerShell or customize the TFS process workflows.
Q. Can I run load test upon check-in?
A. Would require customization.
Q. Can I version database schemas and database artifacts?
A. Yes.
Q. How does Database Pro persist refactor instructions?
A. The refactor log file.
Q. I'm not able to download VSTS and/or TFS off my MSDN subscriber downloads.
A. Check your MSDN subscription (requires Premium) and/or check with your MSDN administrator
Q. Are there Team System best practices available? Real-world experience?
A. Yes but you have to hunt for it. Resources:

- Team Development with TFS Guide
