Configuring TFS to Work Like VSS

We're looking to migrate from Visual Source Safe 2005 to Team Foundation Server 2013. I've installed TFS 2013 in Basic Mode. I let it install SQL Server Express.

I want to set up a similar workflow to the one we currently have in VSS. We have a small team so I'd like to set up an exclusive checkout model, no branching and merging (I think this involves forcing server-side workspaces).

How can I do this at a collection level for all future projects?

  1. To disable multiple check-out, please go to team -> Team Project Settings -> Source Control -> uncheck the Enable multiple check-out option.

  1. If you indeed don't want to work with branch-merge feature, you can disable the corresponding branch-merge permissions for your team members. See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252587.aspx#VersionControl By the way, branch-merge also works on local workspace.
