Windows 10: TFS 2018 upgarde to AzureDevOps Services

Can I migrate directly from TFS 2018 to AzureDevOps Services or do I need to upgrade to Azure DevOps Server first

TFS 2015 proxy setup

Hi, I am trying to set up TFS proxy but I am unable to connect to the main server. I need exact steps to guide me.

Please help. This is rather urgent.

 

Why am I required to install Oracle JRE while installing TFS?

I'm installing a new TFS instance and, as suggested by the docs, I installed the SQL Server (on the same machine, which is brand new and freshly blown).

During the installation process, I got the error message that Oracle Server JRE is required. That surprised me. A lot. Googling gave more suggestions on how to make it work than shed light over why it needs to be done.

I'm running MS operative system, installing MS application powered by MS database executed in the domain of MS cloud which then will manage version control and builds of MS framework based software.

Can someone explain why, oh why, I need to install anything from Oracle/Java at all?

 

Services missing after applying April 2018 Update (1803) to Windows 10

Multiple customers have reached out to me because a Windows Service that I have made is missing after applying April 2018 Update (1803) to Windows 10.

Some customers have also reported that other services are missing, like Cisco VPN client.



I’m able to repro using the following:

1. Install Windows 10 Pro x64 version 1709 (Fall Creators Update) from MSDN.
2. Run the installer for my service, and verify that it’s in the service-list.
   
   I have also tried to manually create the service using SC / InstallUtil, with the same outcome.

1. Restart the machine.
2. (Re-)validate that the service exists, and that it works as intended.
3. Update the machine with the newest updates, including 1803 (April 2018 Update).
4. Restart the machine as part of the update.

Result: The application-files still exist, however, the service is no longer registered.



Running the installer again, or re-creating the service manually using SC/InstallUtil works.



Have Microsoft put new rules in place for services or what’s happening?

The service itself is a very basic service with a valid digital signature.

It is installed in the users local AppData-folder (%localappdata%).
