Trying to setup and learn Team City. Any tips or advice?
I am trying to learn Team City for myself and for my team in the company to see if this could be a better tool for our deployments. I have a new Windows 2012 server that is built for testing purposes and I would like to know what process or steps I should look out for. We use TFS as the source control.
I will be reading the documentation provided in the TeamCity website but I would like to know the thoughts beforehand that might not useful in this process.
Let me know if I am missing something. Thanks

If you are looking into building from TFS, you might want to check our specifics on it: https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD18/Team+Foundation+Server
Beyond that, there is little we can suggest right now, as the setup depends heavily on your build requirements. Please consider following the documentation for the specific steps you need help.
Also two considerations:
-The integrated database is only thought for test purposes. Do not use it in production
-Memory settings are configured manually. Also the integrated JRE in windows is the 32 bit one, meaning that it cannot handle over 1GB of RAM. For medium to large server you will need to change the JRE and configure the settings as described here: https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD18/Installing+and+Configuring+the+TeamCity+Server#InstallingandConfiguringtheTeamCityServer-SettingUpMemorysettingsforTeamCityServer
