Upgrade path clarification for TFS 2017t o 2020?
zerocoo1405 Hey there,
From what I understand about your deployment, that should work. It looks like you can go straight from TFS 2017 to ADO 2020.
Reference the upgrade guide here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/server/upgrade/get-started?view=azure-devops-2020
I also see no mention of Sharepoint, so I'm unsure of the dependency there.
Here are my steps from my migration:
1. You will also need to remember to detach your Team Project Collections via the TFS Administration Console first.
2. Once you do that, you can create a backup via SQL Server management studio on the TFS server.
3. From there, import the backup you took in the previous step into ADO 2020.
4. Re-attach the project collection in the Azure DevOps Server Administration Console
Hope this helps,
- Jordan
