I would like to setup a symbol / source server at our company but I have not access to the TFS build machine because this is managed from another department (I'm a developer and this is managed by the Release Engineering).
Can I setup the symbol / source server in another machine that takes the results of the TFS build machine to populate its database of symbol / source?
AFAIK the information available talks always about installing the server at the same location as the TFS build machine.
Thanks in advance mates.
Absolutely - honestly I would setup it up anywhere except the build machine. You'll want it to be somewhat permanent as well so I would even suggest having a friendly DNS setup and use that name when publishing to Symbol Server from the build process.
