Is Team Foundation Server 2010 available with Visual Studio 2010 ULTIMATE?

According to this page , Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate contains Team Foundation Server 2010. Does this mean that we do not need to download and install TFS 2010 separately? If so, can someone tell me how to configure tfs 2010 using Visual Studio 2010 ULTIMATE.

You still need to download and install Team Foundation Server if you plan to use the Team Foundation integration that exists in Visual Studio. Installing Team Foundation Server is pretty straightforward (like Microsoft Wizard), but you need to point it to an existing instance of SQL Server and therefore you need to make sure that you have a server to use.

It is recommended that you install Team Foundation on a separate server that does not start the database, but this is by no means mandatory.

Since licensing varies by country, the real answer is: “Call Microsoft and find out.”

However, typically, a TFS license comes with an MSDN subscription. In addition, in general, the Ultimate Edition is only offered with an MSDN subscription.

But ask Microsoft before you discover that your country is an exception to the general rule.

The easiest way to get TFS is through msdn. If you have msdn, you can download a non-trial server.

Installation is very simple. If you do not have a SQL server, it will install sqlexpress. In addition, starting in 2010, it can be installed on a client computer that works fine until its a very large team (os iis client restrictions).

You should be able to next, following the path to the server.
