Change computer name for a TFS Workspace

Question

My System Administrator renamed my computer. So where it was \"MyLaptop2\" it is now just \"MyLaptop\".

So now all my source control bindings and checked out files

Answer 1

To avoid get and map after creating new workspace

1. Run cmd

2. Navigate to visual studio IDE path. Something like this:

   C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE
   

3. Run this command:

   tf workspaces /updateComputerName:MyOldComputerName /s:"http://MyServer/tfs/MyCollection"
   

4. In "manage workspace", delete the added workspace (named as your current computer name), and rename the old one to your current computer name.

In this scenario you don't need any extra get and map.
