Team Foundation Server 2008 Tutorials
A series of step by step tutorials have been put together to demonstrate some of the ways common features may be used. The tutorials have been further sub-divided into two groups based on common needs of management and developers.
Then you will need to configure SMTP for the TFS Server (\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server\Web Services\Services\Web.config) for alerts similiar to:
<appSettings>
<add key="ConnectionString" value="Application Name=TeamFoundation;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=TfsIntegration;Data Source=TFS2008;Integrated Security=SSPI"/>
<add key="eventingEnabled" value="true" />
<add key="DetailedExceptions" value="false" />
<add key="emailNotificationFromAddress" value="webmaster@your-site.com" />
<add key="smtpServer" value="emailserver.your-site.com" />
</appSettings>
Finally, to set up the web access for SMTP go to \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team System Web Access\Web\Web.config on the TFS Server similiar to:
<webAccessSettings>
<emailSettings sendingEmailEnabled="true" />
</webAccessSettings>
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp deliveryMethod="network" from="webmaster@your-site.com"></smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
