Following a recent tfs upgrade we have notice that the "estimate" field in the details section of a task is no longer there. "Remaining work" is still there but I was using the "estimate" field to show any scope increases on a burnup chart by keeping track of the total amount of estimated hours.
Thanks,
Dan
Hi, I have tested my template customization changes in the test server and going to move these changes to the existing TFS and make it to new upgrade also. Please share your experiences on things that need to be taken care in importing these changes ,precautions need to be done and proper procedure to follow.
The most important changes that we did are:

I tried changing the reporting field back also, but still this problem is not solved. I need to be confident on avoiding suchtype of errors and should care on the precautions need to be taken.
Hi All,
I am working on Agile project, I have existing test cases, related to PBI's.
In TFS web portal, I wrote the custom query to get the test cases related to each PBI.
Now I would like to create a chart on status of each test cases (Pass/ Failed / blocked).
I gone throw all the 'Available Column' options, but i am not getting the status of the test case.
Could anybody advise how to get the status of the test cases.
Thanks

Hi together,
we've setupped an Online TFS to organize our Powershell Scripts in our Team. After that we've installed the Source Control Explorer for checking items in and out. From within the Source Control Explorer this works flawless.
Some time ago i've worked with TortoiseSVN for Source Control and there were a Windows Explorer Integration which was super easy to use for making new local repositorys, checkin and checkout, is there something similar for TFS? Because we only write Powershell Scripts, we don't need Visual Studio and it would be easier to work directly in the Windows Explorer.
Thanks for any tips and tricks!

Our TFS production server is 2013 and the update is 12.0.21005.1 version. How to get the latest upgraded process templates to apply our customizations. Can we get the process templates as a separate download or need the TFS to be upgraded to latest 2013 update 4. If update is needed, then do we need to take TFS backup or it will just update the changes to the existing server?
Somehow the Creator Owner of queries has lost delete permissions of their own queries in our central work project and I am trying to restore it. I have tried the below command line:
tfssecurity /a+ WorkItemQueryFolders [Shared Queries GUID] DELETE "Creator Owner" ALLOW /collection:http://tfsserver:8080/tfs/collection
This returns:
The target Team Foundation Server is
http://tfsserver:8080/tfs/collection.
Resolving identity "Creator Owner"...
[G] CREATOR OWNER
Adding the access control entry...
Verifying...
Access Control List on object [Shared Queries GUID]:
Done.
Not sure what I am doing wrong but the ACL should at least return the permissions I just set.
Thanks in advance for your assistance

As an example, I like to avoid updating the web.debug.config by source control.
Also i like to avoid the x.debug.config files to end up in source control at all.
Is there a way to achieve this?
Hi guys, I hope you're doing well. I have a client using tfs (on-prem deployment ) and I'm experiencing very strange behavior, so I just wanted to ask if anyone of you have ever experienced something like this before.
Here's the case:
My account has been added to the “Project Collection Administrators” as well as to Team Foundation Administrators groups of TFS, however the issue that
I’m having is – I'm unable to create/edit existing build definitions, when I try to do so inside Visual Studio Team explorer, I get:
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Team Foundation Error
TF214008: No build definition was found with the URI vstfs:///Build/Definition/176. Either the URI does not exist, or does not have permission to
access it.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Using TFS 2013 update 4
Any thoughts/ideas, are greatly appreciated?
Best,
Rado
I'm pretty new to TFS, so forgive me if I don't use the right words to ask this.
I created a workspace that put copies of the files in a network location to be used later by something else.
I need to find a way to do the equivalent of "Get Latest Version" to that location once a day using any kind of scheduled job. Is this possible? PowerShell? SQL Agent Job? Bat? Anything.
Also, I don't know if this is relevant, but I'm not loading the entire repository at that network location. Just from a particular "directory" and down.HI
I have tried the following method to get the report server attached to the tfs instance. but this returns no details. Please help on this.
UritfsUri =newUri(uri);
TfsConfigurationServerconfigurationServer =
TfsConfigurationServerFactory.GetConfigurationServer(tfsUri);
ReadOnlyCollection<CatalogNode> collectionNodes =
configurationServer.CatalogNode.QueryChildren(new[] { CatalogResourceTypes.ReportingServer,CatalogResourceTypes.ReportingConfiguration,
CatalogResourceTypes.SqlReportingInstance}
, true,CatalogQueryOptions.IncludeParents);
Thanks

HI All,
I am using WorkItemType object of this package Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client to access work item type of project.
I am dispalying each work item of specific project by first getting project work items then using name propery of WorkItemType object.
foreach (WorkItemType wiType in project.WorkItemTypes)
{
wiTypeList.Add(wiType.Name);
}
Scenario after renaming one custom work item type these snippet started showing the GUID of renamed work item instead its new name

Hi,
We are developing an application that requires user to select a folder only and it should not allow user to select file within a TFS project's source control (VersionControl TFS API).
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Is there a way to get the date when a project is created throught TFS Api
I have a work item change alert set up to alert me any time a work item assigned to or created by me is changed, but this is causing me to get alerts when the Stack Rank field is changed. See the note below from our sys admin team.
"Any new item in TFS is assigned a number (globally unique to all items in TFS). When we sort our backlog to prioritize deployments based on date, it changes that global number. Since this satisfies the email alert condition that an item has ‘changed,’ it sends an email."
Is it possible to prevent alerts from being sent if only the Stack Rank field is changed? Is there something else I'm missing here?
Thanks.

We have TFS setup using SCRUM templates, but would like to be able to include bugs into our planning and burndown, basically as a part of tasks. I'm new to TFS, but unfortunately we no longer have a TFS guru on staff, so I'm learning as I go here. I've tried following MSDN instructions for modifying the templates, but keep getting errors that Bugs can't be included in 2 portfolios and other issues. Below, I have copied and pasted the categories and processconfiguration XML for your review. Any help is greatly appreciated.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>Hi,
When you purchase Visual Studio with MSDN, you get a TFS cal.
When your MSDN subscription expires, you have a perpetual license for the software you downloaded from MSDN.
My question is:
Does the TFS cal require an active MSDN subscription to be valid or does it fall under the "perpetual licensing" and the user can keep connecting to TFS with their Visual Studio?
Thanks,

I am setting up access control on a TFS 2013.2 TFSVC project
To deny access by default I added the Contributors group in the root of the source tree and set all permissions to deny, then on individual source folders I set the permissions for specific groups. So far so good, members of those groups can see the code I want them too and only that code.
The problem is for project admins.
All teams are members of the contributors group so that they get team functionality such as team email alerts. If someone in the Project Admin VSO group is added to a team they therefore become part of the contributors group due to inheritence and their code access to the top of the source tree is denied by default.
Is it so that project admins canot be members of teams? This would be a problem because often the project admins also are the leads who define and administer the teams in TFS. If no-one is able to see the top of the source tree, whould be able to create a new sub-folder?
