I use Visual Studio 2015 and TFS 2013. Most of my projects are in TFS.

My latest project seem to have copy in TFS and one copy in .git. How can I remove .git and reconnect with TFS?

HI Team, 

We have TFS instance with data of 6TB in Data tier, i know that all collection DBs are depending on Tfs_configuration database.

Now, my question is what if all of sudden Tfs_configuration DB gets corrupted during production time ? will Microsoft Support team can help us  by doing any sort of repair ? the reason i am asking is because, recently one of the collection databases got corrupted and couldnt be fixed by me since it was on test server.

TFS 2015 v3 How to apply good product key to an installed trial version

Have found 3 possible solutions and not had luck with any of them

option 1

run tfsconfig.exe with the license parameter.  Tried this but says unrecognized command.  tfsconfig help works so I am in the correct place to fire the tfsconfig.exe.  License is not listed in Help

Documentation say license is deprecated but shows should work with tfs2015??

option 2

run tfs admin console on the server as admin. open the server and update the product ID but it does not show for me

Expand the name of the server, and review the information inProduct ID,License Type, andLicense Expires.

The number that appears inProduct IDis your product key.

  • (Optional) If you must change or update your product key, chooseUpdate License.

    The Team Foundation Server Licensewindow opens.

    Option 3

    reinstall with the product license key.  Not a great option because we are starting use to store code.  When this was tried there was no where to enter the key I was told by the installer.

    Seem to be stuck here

    had links and pictures in this but had to take out because my acct is not validated

    Thanks

    I have created a custom variable named "Test" in variables tab of TFS 2015 build definition.
    I can access the variable $("Test") and pass it as parameter to PS1 file.
    I can access the variable $Env:Test in ps1 file which is executed under the build agent context using "Run a PowerShell script" task.
    But i can't access the variable $Env:Test in ps1 file which is executed under the different server context using "PowerShell on Target Machines" task.
    Since i have more variables i do not want to pass all of them to the ps1 file.
    Please clarify. Thanks.

    Is there a way to batch move workitems between swimlanes in the boards in TFS2015? Its very time consuming to move workitems manually one by one when you have alot of workitems.

    We are running TFS2015 Update 3.

    Hi there,

    As I understand it, if I make a change to a piece of code and check it in, my checkin comment gets added as an annotation next to those changes.

    Imagine the instance where I'm making quite a large fix within the same file, and while I'm doing so, I uncover a bug that needs to be fixed in order for me to continue, but I'd like a different comment / annotation for that.  Is there a way I can add separate annotations to individual changes within a changeset?

    TFS Work Item Customization - Server Side Cache Problem

    Hi,
    I've customized the work item list of process template by using witadmin command line tool. While updating one of the work items, I've uploaded it with wrong work item name to the server ( by writing it with upper case ). It is listed with upper case. I've tried to update it by uploading one more time with right name, but it didn't work. ( By the way, I've tried to handle this issue by deleting and re-uploading the work item ) I mean it is still listed with the previous name. I suppose, there is a cache mechanism at server side. Could you please help me in this matter ?

    Thanks in advance,

    What data in the TFS Analysis Cube is useful for managers or development teams?

    I'm exploring the data available in the TFS Analysis cube via the "Get External Data" interface in Excel.

    While there's a lot of data in the cube, I'm wondering what data teams or managers find useful or interesting?

    The number of builds or code churn over time can be an indicator of activity on a team project, but I already know what projects we are working on.

    Does anyone use this data for any kind of analysis for team or individual productivity or quality?  Any tips for consuming or reviewing data in the TFS analysis cube are appreciated.


    Thanks!

    TFS Unattended Install

    My client wants to be able to do an unattended install of a TFS application tier. I have found how to use the TFSConfig tool in order to create the .ini file, but it seems that the .ini file is missing a bunch of optional parameters. For example, the .ini file has the parameter for IsServiceAccountBuiltIn:

    ; Boolean to determine whether the account is a built-in account

    IsServiceAccountBuiltIn=True 

    ; Account that the TFS web site will run as. …

    ServiceAccountName=NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE

    My problem is, we’re not using a build in service account. So, I can set that IsServiceAccountBuiltIn to false and I can specify the ServiceAccountName – but nowhere do I see what the parameter name would be for the service account password.

    I’d also like to set up reporting but the only parameter they give for reporting is:

    ; A Boolean to determine whether reporting is enabled

    UseReporting=False

    So, if I want to set the above to true, I have no idea what the other parameter names are to set up the rest of reporting – like the Report Instance Id, the SSAS server, the report reader account.

    If that all made sense, do you know where I can find these parameter names?

    Default Iteration for the "New Work Item" Widget

    We have TFS 2015 on premise, which we've have updated over the years from TFS2012 to TFS2015 update 3 (the newest at per Sep. 30th 2016)

    Some users use the "New Work Item" widget on the "Welcome" dashboard to report bugs. Those unfortunately always end up in the current sprint. We'd like the new items to have noiteration assigned (or the top-level iteration), so that they won't fill the current sprint with garbage.

    I've tried the instructions here https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/work/scale/set-team-defaults to set defaults. TheArea is defaulted correctly, but not the Iteration. However, if I use the "Quick Create Item" widget under theBacklog items items view, defaults are correct.

    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I have some test cases written in VSTS. I'm using VSTS for the build process, and it runs an automation test on build. The VSTS test cases represent the automation test cases.

    Is there a way to automatically link the VSTS Test Case with the build's automation test result? As it is now, I can't associate the test case with the automation build info. I see how to do this with the MS Test Manager stuff, but not for other testing suites.

    TFS State Machine Customization and Role Based Constraints

    Hi,
    As you know, there is a specific state machine for each work item defined in TFS. I should customize the state machine of each work item according to the related document provided.
    It seems easy to update state machine items and transitions via Power Tools. But, there should be constraints on role basis. A few samples which shows the needed constraints are as follows; 

    1. Only "Analist Role" can change state from Active to Closed.
    2. Developers can not change the state of Task type work item from Open to Closed.

    Could you please explain the way of applying these kind of rules on project template basis in TFS ?

    Thanks in advance..

    We created a development Hyper-V virtual server with both TFS 2010 and SharePoint2010 installed on drive C.  Well... the Business Analysts found out we had "SharePoint" installed and uploaded way too many documents. The server is now gigantic. We would like to add a  new drive D (on our SAN) to the server and move the all databases from C to drive D. Is this a  reasonable solution?

    I found this URL but don't know if it applies to our situation.
