I my previous post I discussed how the DB label was not used for TPC Dbs in 2010. As I was working on a setup where a central SQL box was the DT for two virtualised TFS AT instances, I therefore needed to create my TPC databases manually if I wanted TPCs of the same name on each TFS instance.

So off to …

For some reason that is beyond me now I did not setup my Lab Manager test system to be a VHD boot. So before installing the 2010 RC version I decided to P2V this system (on the same hardware) to make backups easier whilst testing. All seemed to go well
