Brand new setup: SQL 2014, Visual Studio 2010, TFS 2013 and Dynamics AX 2012 R3

I've been wanting to upgrade my software setup for some time now and after an inspiring presentation regarding automatic builds (by Kenny Saelen) I decided to fully upgrade my software. In two evenings I installed:

• SQL Server 2014 developer edition
• Visual Studio 2010 (AX 2012 isn't compatible with VS2012)
• TFS 2013
• Dynamics AX 2012 R3

I had already installed AX, so I only needed to move my databases to the SQL Server 2014 data dir and it was up and running again. 

My laptop is a Dell Intel Core i7, 2.9 GHz, running with 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD. I must say, AX2012 runs pretty smooth and is more than sufficient for my testing purposes. With the help of AXBuild, a complete compile only took 37 minutes. 

A minor issue running into when using Team explorer was that I could no longer create a new Team Project after linking it to TFS 2013. The error was: 

TF30172: You are trying to create a team project either without required permissions or with an older version of Team Explorer. Contact your project administrator to check your permissions or to determine how to upgrade Team Explorer. 

It is required to update your Team explorer for TFS, you can use the following link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40776.

Now everything is working and as you can see, TFS 2013 is up and running on my local laptop, nice :-).
