Move your Azure VM to a Virtual Network
When I first completed configuring a DC in Azure for AAD integrated Release Management I did not add my virtual machine to a virtual network. And I really should have and in the usual poopyness that is servers you can’t move it.

Configuring a DC in Azure for AAD integrated Release Management
I will be speaking at NDC London: Second Look, Team Foundation Server & VSO and I am planning to be a little adventurous with the demo. For this I will be configuring a DC in Azure for AAD integrated Release Management so that I can do cloud demos.
Installing Visual Studio 2015 side by side with 2013 on Windows 10

Could not find mappings for all states defined in 'Test Suit' work item type
After upgrading to TFS 2013.3 you get some reports of errors in MTM from your users. Specifically they get a “Could not find mappings for all states defined in ‘Test Suit’ work item type” error when connecting.

NDC London: Second Look, Team Foundation Server & VSO
While I have spoken at many events in the USA while I lived there, and even did a few keynotes for the Visual Studio 2012 launch, I have been trying to figure out the scene here in Europe. As such I submitted to a few events and got accepted to speak at NDC London.
