Migrate TFS2010 to TFS2015 including Sharepoint migration - tfs-2015

I would like to create a new TFS 2015 server that is a copy of the old TFS 2010 machine for testing TFS 2015.
Our current TFS 2010 has both Sharepoint and Reporting Services.
I can't seem to find any good guides on how to migrate TFS 2010 to TFS 2015 without taking the old server offline that also includes Sharepoint migration.
This guide talks about TFS 2010 to 2015 but does not include Sharepoint.
https://intovsts.net/2015/07/09/upgrading-tfs-2010-sp1-to-tfs-2015-rc2/
This page says something about changing server ID if I want to keep the old server online. Which I do want to keep the old server online.
Migrate TFS2010 to TFS2013 on new hardware keeping existing TFS2010 installation in place
The Microsoft guide does not even talk about Sharepoint.

You'll need to upgrade your SharePoint instance first. TFS 2010 supported Office SharePoint Server 2007 (Standard, Enterprise) and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. TFS 2015 supports SharePoint 2010 and 2013 (Foundation, Standard, Enterprise). After upgrading your SharePoint instance, you'll need to install TFS 2015 on it and configure SharePoint Extensions.

Azure Storage Not Showing in Visual Studio 2015 Server Explorer

I've installed Visual Studio 2015 and cloned a repo from my Visual Studio Online account. Originally the code was written with Visual Studio 2013 and with that environment I could see my Azure Storage Account (i.e. Tables, Queues and Blobs) under the Azure connection section on the Server Explorer. However with Visual Studio 2015 I can see the Azure connection section which includes App Service, Mobile Service, Notification Hubs and SQL Database but no Storage.
Any ideas?
I ran into the same problem. I decided to upgrade to the latest as of now Azure SDK 2.7. This fixed my server explorer panel and also added in a new panel called Cloud Explorer. This will hopefully get you going. Here is the link:

SSDT installed in VS 2012, grayed out in SSMS 2012

Before I start, I have Googled the hell out of this issue to no avail and the tech support at my office is equally stumped (shocking).
I installed SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2012 from MSDN. It is currently working in Visual Studio 2012. I can create Integration Services projects without a problem - which is awesome.
However, when I open SQL Server Management Studio 2012, the options for Analysis Services, Integration Services, and Reporting Services are all grayed out. I am 90% sure I'm running Enterprise SSMS (please correct me if I'm wrong based on the "About" info below).
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 11.0.2100.60
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 6.1.7601.17514
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.11.9600.17420
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.30319.18444
Operating System 6.1.7601
So my question is... how do I connect to these services in SSMS?
I know these "special services" require "special access rights granted by your DBA. After I got rights to see Integration Services, a "Integration Services Catalog" folder showed up under my server in the Object Explorer.

Visual Studio checkin

Hello everyone I am trying TFS 2012 express on my home server (just to try) and everything is fine.
Source control on my c# solution works! However, I am unsure where the source code repository of my solution resides for TFS 2012 express?
Does a "Check in file" from the solution save "ONLY" on the Sql express database?
Can you please explain to me and suggest a good site for documentation relating to TFS 2012 express.
TFS 2012 Express stores your source control repository in a SQL Express database, which is installed locally during setup.
You can also sign up for Team Foundation Service which hosts your source control in the cloud. It is free just like the express desktop edition for up to 5 team members.
Here are several links you can use to learn more about TFS 2012:
Visual Studio Team Foundation Server Express 2012
MSDN Team Foundation Server2012

Deploy custom code to Sharepoint 2010 remotely?

I'm relatively new at creating custom content for Sharepoint 2010 and have been having some difficulty understanding how to get non-design related components (ie. web parts, custom classes, ...) into a Sharepoint site. I have created a new visual web part on the company's development server and deployed it successfully from Visual Studio 2010 and also packaged the solution into a WSP file.
What is the best way to go about getting that web part onto the production server? There is currently no Visual Studio install on the production server but from searching around I get the feeling that it might be possible to do this remotely using Powershell or STSADM. Has anyone faced a similar situation?
Use PowerShell. Stsadm is considered to be obsolete and is included in SharePoint 2010 only for backwards compatibility with SharePoint 2007. So, since you are new to SharePoint, pretend Stsadm doesn't even exist.
My PowerShell scripts keep evolving, but they are based on samples from Ted Pattison:
Chapter 2: SharePoint Foundation Development (scroll down to Using Windows PowerShell Scripts to Automate Tasks in Visual Studio)
