Is there a way to select multiple work items and set there state to "closed" all at once?
Scenario: I perform a team build as a "smoke" test and decide to mark it's quality as rejected. The team makes changes and the second "smoke" team build is successful. Since the changes are logged into Version Control, I don't need the first build hanging around. How do I delete it? There ...
Hi, Is there any way to delete a workItem created by mistake? Thanks
Wow this strikes me as odd. If I want to "lock" a branch, say a checkout lock, I then have to "checkin" that checkout lock. That's a tad confusing. I would have guessed that applying a lock was an immediate action like applying a label.

Hi all,I'm not sure whether this question should goes into VSS2005 or TS, but we have high requirements on security.Let's assume we created Team Project, and 5 developers are working on it. However, only 2 senior developers are authorized to access some core source codes, and the rest should ...
Merging when the source branch solution is loaded into VS and the target branch isn't throws you off for a moment because you know there should be pending changes but there aren't any. At least not until you load the target branch solution. This is a rough-edge IMO. What if I merge branches ...
How do you back out of a changeset? I was experimenting with branches and merging and I made on a change on a branch when I intended the change for the trunk version. BTW, I can see this being a problem because the VS editor MDI tabs only give a filename (not directory) and so does the solution ...

I am using VS Team Server 2005. It installed fine on a 2003 Standard Server box.I created a workspace and mapped it to a local directory on my development machine (XP SP2) called c:\imaxwell projects.When I open Source Control Explorer and I click on the new folder button. Nothing appears to ...

Tried downloading the spreadsheets in the project management section of the portal site. On an XP PC without any VSTS bits installed, they download empty.Is this due to some Excel/TSFS integration missing on the client PC? A sharepoint user would not normally assume they need to install ...
Is there any way to change the root directory used by the Source Control. I was trying to fetch one of my Team Build Configurations, and I was prompted to select a directory (because it said it didn't have one mapped). I thought I was picking a directory for that specific Build, so I went and ...
Whenever I try to run a Team Build that contains a test suite, the Build operation fails. When I look at the result, it says "An error occured during publish operation." What does that mean, and how do I rectify it? Thanks in advance. David Mullin
It would be nice if TF provided some suggested naming guidance for various nameable items like: Workspace Branch Shelveset Label It might also be nice to provide guidance on suggested directory structures like: $/Branches/Rel1.0 $/Trunk/Docs $/Trunk/Src
We make extensive use of pre- and post-build event scripts in our Visual Studio solutions. In those scripts, we make extensive use of the pre-defined macros that Visual Studio provides, e.g. $(SolutionDir), $(ProjectDir), etc. Team Build fails to build our solutions correctly because those ...
When I try to unshelve one of my shelvesets I get: "Error - No changes unshelved." Any ideas what might cause this?
I made it to almost the very end when I recieved an error in the Beta 2 Team Foundation install. I believe I followed the install notes closely but received a very long error message referring to SQL reporting App pool. However, now I can't run the install again? I get the following ...
After installing TFS, I installed VSS 2005 on the server (seemed the obvious thing to do). I'm now confused as to whether TFS has SCM built in, or whether it just uses VSS 2005.
So one policy we usually follow is to lock down source at code freeze so that developers can't check in code changes willy-nilly. What is the prescribed method for doing this with the TF VCS? I'm guessing I would go to the project directory in the Source Control window and go to its ...
So I created a shelveset that I called Bug-56-Fix. It contained a couple of files that were edited. I then logged in as a different user and unshelved Bug-56-Fix and tweaked one of the files in the original shelveset and another file that wasn't in the original shelveset. Now if I want to get ...
I have added three users to the team foundation server (adm, but only 2 can connect to the server. The thing is, that the one that can not connect was added to Permissions and now I cannot remove it from Permissions, but I can remove the user from the adm: ...
When the December CTP shipped I asked about the availability of forms to allow users to send bug reports and have them inserted directly into a bug database that could be allocated to workers.I was told that they would be in Beta 2 but I can't seem to locate them at all. Could someone direct ...
Which databases are VSTS used in SQL Server? Could I just need to backup those database? Or there are other files or settings should I backup at the same time? Thanks!
I can't find any document on this in MSDN Library. Is there any article on this? Thanks!
OKI'm probably being dense here. Installation is a single server with reporting services, sharepoint, SQL all running. I can get to the relevant pages.The client can see the server and ping it over the network. Both are in a W2K3 domain and the DC is running SP1 as is the VSTF Server.tfssetup ...
I was asked yesterday about controlling how code is checked in. With products like TeamStudio, I can validate code during the check-in process and reject it if there are obvious anomolies.This led to a discussion as to what we could achieve with VSTF. Can I, for example, create a test under the ...
All folder names are greyed out in the source control explorer when I view it.At first it seemed that the greyed-out status was meant to indicate which folders have mappings and which don't, but it doesn't correspond to that.In the repository I have two top-level projects, both of which are ...
It seems I could only connect to the TFS to work with work items such as bug, task, etc. Could I work off line with the Server? Sometimes I have to work at home. Could I make a dial-up connection to the remote server in company, see is there any bugs related to me, then disconnect from the ...

Just wondering because it just makes more sense and is easier to explain to people. tf.exe = team foundation whereas h.exe = hatteras, huh? :-)
Somehow I was surpised to see that the changeset version numbers are per repository and not per team project. With this in mind, I just don't see us typically having more than one team project per repository. That is, when I'm looking at changeset history and I'm working product Foo, I ...
I have a team project with an associated native C++ solution. I created a team build for this project, but when I tried to build it, it failed because the PSDK files are not present on the build machine (only TFS, Team Client and Team Build are installed).That's no problem - I can install the ...
I created a team project, created a distributed app in that project and checked it in.I then created another team project, created a native C++ app in that project and checked it in.Doing the above broke Team Build since both projects were associated with a single source control workspace. So I ...

The Team Foundation Server installation is way too convoluted, complicated, and prone to error. I sincerely hope that it will be streamlined when the RTM release occurs later this year. What do you think?
My installation failed and now I can't seem to find a way to remove TFS &/or repair the installation. I am using Server 2003 enterprise, SQL Server 2005 CTP April, latest Sharepoint Services, have the necessary accounts and all required services are running. I installed this on a clean ...
I created a team project called Foo. Then I created a workspace via the command line called Main that mapped $/ to C:\Projects\Foo. It turns out that mapped the root of the repository which I discovered after I added some directory not to $/Foo but to $/. So I remapped $/Foo to C:\Projects\Foo. ...

Hi, is there any way to delete a Team Project created by me? From Team Explorer exists the remove option but I couldn't find one to delete all the different parts of a Team Project (SCC, Project Portal, Work Items, etc). Is it possible? Thanks a lot LucasC
