Hi,

If like me you find the need to install a Team Foundation Server 11 Basic in a Windows 8 Developer Preview, it is likely that you find with any of the following errors:

Error [Application Tier] TF255120: Compatibility mode for Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 is not enabled.Team Foundation Server requires this on this operating system.
Error [Application Tier] TF255456: You must configure Internet Information Services (IIS) to use the Static Content component. Team Foundation Server requires the Static Content component in IIS.
Error [Application Tier] TF255397: Windows Authentication has not been configured as to shift service in Internet Information Services (IIS). Team Foundation Server requires that Windows Authentication is installed as one of the role services in IIS.
Error [Application Tier] TF255397: Windows Authentication has not been configured as to shift service in Internet Information Services (IIS). Team Foundation Server requires that Windows Authentication is installed as one of the role services in IIS.
Error [Application Tier] TF255397: Windows Authentication has not been configured as to shift service in Internet Information Services (IIS). Team Foundation Server requires that Windows Authentication is installed as one of the role services in IIS.

These errors indicate that we must activate some features for our service of Internet Information Server that does not come by default enabled in Windows 8.

The command to activate the needed features is as follows:

dism/online /enable-feature /featurename:IIS – NetFxExtensibility /featurename:IIS – ASPNET /all

And it is important to launch it with administrator privileges from a Command Promt Windows 8.
