We use TFS and need to configure a build server for QA that will build release lines out of branches so we can package it and send it to production. Is there any documentation or links I can check out to configure this? We want to use Msbuild scripts to
compile. I just want to use industry standard practices to reduce the support burden for us.
I just wanted to let everyone know that we were able to get TeamCity up and running as our continuous integration server. It works great and has really streamlined processes here.

See this tutorial series:
http://www.asp.net/web-forms/tutorials/deployment/configuring-team-foundation-server-for-web-deployment/configuring-team-foundation-server-for-web-deployment
This is the third in five sets of tutorials about Enterprise tutorials; for links to the initial tutorials in each of the other sets, see http://www.asp.net/web-forms/tutorials/deployment. You might want to start with the overview: http://www.asp.net/web-forms/tutorials/deployment/deploying-web-applications-in-enterprise-scenarios/deploying-web-applications-in-enterprise-scenarios

Thanks for the info. I started configuring this stuff and realized that we don't have a license for TFS's build server. Are there any other options?
