I want to configure and install different softwares for a custom CRM solution.
What I need:
· TFS Server 2012 – Solution -
· CRM Dynamics 2011 – Integration with TFS and SharePoint.
· SharePoint 2013 – Integration
· Office 2010 Standard integration
I want to know the installation hierarchy mean first I should install tfs server then sharepoint and so on or first sharepoint then tfs..
Please let me know order in which I should install all these products. Also let me know if any of these products conflicts each other and I have separate db server, mean sharepoint front server will be separate and db server will be separate. I one Windows server 2008 R2 server and other server with sql server 2008R2
That all should work just fine, and all products can share a single database server. For installation order, I recommend:
CRM 2011 Server.
CRM 2011 Email Router.
CRM 2011 SSRS Extensions.
SharePoint 2013.
CRM/SharePoint integration.
Office 2010 and CRM Outlook Addin on client machines.
Verify basic functionality after each step, of course.
TFS doesn't directly relate to the functionality of CRM, and there is no direct integration between the CRM server and TFS. Your developers will want to install the CRM Toolkit and then just connect and use TFS as normal.

I understand that we do not want to install SP2013 and Exhcnage 2013 on the same box in production environments, but my question is about a development VM.
Is it possible to install these two servers successfully on the same box. I have tried, but so far the Exchange install does not appear to complete successfully and I don't know if it is because of something I'm missing or if there is something that prohibits them running together.
It seems that your Exchange Setup failed so first things first is to use Exchange Server Setup to completely remove the non-functioning Exchange.
It's preferred to remove SharePoint also.
After that, install Exchange Server first, then SharePoint. Then do some additional work (see links below) to configure them. If Exchange Setup continues to fail, seek for other solutions.
However, I strongly suggest you install separate VMs to host Exchange and SharePoint on separate OS installations.
Reference:
Installing Sharepoint on the same server as Exchange and Remote Web Access (IIS – Sharepoint -RWA – OWA Conflicts)
Can be Install Exchange Server 2010 and SharePoint 2010 on the same server without any conflict?
It won't differ very much between Exchange and SharePoint 2010 and 2013 so the links above should also apply.
Is following scenario possible?
We have got TFS 2013 installed as a standard single server. This server has got the SQL db.
We have got SharePoint 2013 installed on another machine.
Now we want to integrate TFS 2013 with SharePoint 2013 along with SSRS and SSAS for reports, etc.
Please guide whether this is possible or we need to install TFS via Advanced mode again?
No problem, you can integrate your existing TFS single server deployment with your external SharePoint server assuming you have the necessary permissions.

Adding SSRS and SSAS is relatively simple too and can be on the same server as TFS or a different one.

I'd like to put a table form oracle on my sharepoint 2010 (and soon to be updated 2013) site so that the table can be updated and new rows can be inserted. After googling using BCS seems to be the only option. Is this correct? the Sharepoint designer will not work with Oracle?
Also when I open Visual Studio 2012 Professional and click on new project>>Sharepoint>>Sharepoint 2010 Project I get an error saying
Sharepoint server must be installed to workwith share point projects.
Do I need to install sharepoint server on my machine?
Can anyone provide any documentation on how to do this? what happens when I go to Sharepoint 2013?
Oh yea and I have windows 7. Will sharepoint server work on windows 7?
Thank you!
I'll try to answer all your questions.
Oracle connectivity
BCS supports Oracle but it's not trivial. Sharepoint designer is a tool where you can create External Types (BCS types). But with Sharepoint Designer you are limited to SQL Server, WCF Services and .NET assemblies. There are few workarounds:
Create linked server to oracle in SQL Serve Management Studio and use Sharepoint Designer to create BCSentities
You can create service for fetching oracle data and use Sharepoint designer to create BCS entities
If you just want to display some data from oracle and have developer knowledge. You can use ODAC for .NET and create webparts for displaying data (the simplest solution of all).
For Sharepoint 2010 Development you have to install sharepoint (foundation or server) on copmuter where your VS resides. Sharepoint foundation could be installed on Windows 7 x64. Installation is trivial download sharepoint foundation and run installation file.
For Sharepoint 2013. You can create apps and client apps on remote computer but for farm solutions there is the same rule (but SP 2013 can't be installed on Windows 7).

Does CRM 2011 have cross browser support? Or does it still require Internet Explorer?
Edit 04/02/2013. Cross browser support begins with CRM 2011 Update Rollup 12. The browsers supported are listed at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2784954
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2669061 to see support by product (CRM 4/CRM 2011) and rollup.
Sadly, no other browser than IE is supported for the full webclient (yet). See the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web client software requirements.
However the mobile front-end "Mobile Express" which is part of Dynamics CRM 2011 is accessible with other browsers. Simply append /mto your url, for example https://crm.foobar.org/m
Still need IE, however you can use IE9 (which does legacy support).
Or can do what I do, use Chrome, but use the IETab plugin (which mocks IE). Then I don't have to have 100 thousand CRM windows open.
Cross browser support wont happen until HTML 5 is used.
I think this is planned for CRM 2012 or CRM 6.
They mentioned this in the CRM statement of direction which you can read about here

Ok first of all what is the difference between these two products?
Secondly are the development skills interchangeable between Server 2010 and Foundation 2010?
And lastly in terms of job market, when HR department writes "Looking for Sharepoint developer" do they mean developer for Sharepoint Server (MOSS) or Sharepoint Foundation (Services)?
Note: Working with SP Foundation would be better in my case because Sharepoint Server 2010 brings my computer to its knees with only 3GB RAM. Sharepoint Foundation is it a good starting point or would you suggest going with Sharepoint Server?
Strictly speaking, SharePoint Server IS SharePoint Foundation with additional features. Therefore, all your SharePoint Foundation development skills can be used in SharePoint Server as well. What you should/could use depends on the requirements of your project. Some projects require features that are only available in SharePoint Server, so that narrows your options.
If your PC is not powerfull enough to run SharePoint Server, there's always the option to install it on a development server and connect to it remotely. That is... if you have a development server available.
Side note: the term MOSS is only used for SharePoint Server 2007. Microsoft decided to change the name of the product from Microsoft Office SharePoint Server to Microsoft SharePoint Server.
