Import Visual Studio TFS workspaces

Question

Is there a way to import Visual Studio TFS workspace, I have over 30 workspace and I need to import them to a TFS on new machine. Thanks

Answer 1

If you want to clone the structure of your workspaces but leave the old ones alone, run

tf workspace /server:yourserver /new NewName /template:OldName;OldOwner

If you want to permanently migrate your workspaces from one machine to another, run...

tf workspaces /server:yourserver /updatecomputername:OldComputerName

...then move all your files from the old box to the new one. If you're unable to use the same paths, you'll have to update the workspace definitions.

Microsoft has documentation on this.
