tfs2010

Multiple TFS 2010 MSBuilds are not triggering Web Deploy to publish the web application to the IIS website. This is for multiple different software products, multiple different build configurations, 2 different build agents (on 2 different servers), multiple IIS web site instances on multiple different servers. 3 different continuous deployment setups were previously working. So hopefully this rules out miss-configuration of the build/build servers/hosting servers/web deploy and IIS. According to the network manager nothing has changed on the network (all servers are local), and port 8172 is

TFS 2010 exposes a "Build Number Format" property, which contains $(BuildNumberDefinitionName) and $(Rev:.r) variables (among other things). Two and a half parts to my question: What are all the available variables that can be used here? Where does the value for $(Rev:.r) come from (where is it stored)? a. Can it be reset or changed? http://www.richardmaxwell.name/blog/2011/5/5/force-tfs-build-revision-to-a-specifc-value.html Anytime you change your Build Number in a TFS build, the revision resets to 1, which is what it should do, most of the time. But sometimes, you want to start at revision

I am using TFS 2010 and writing a script to enable a simple get of specific version label of our software. Since this is only a simple get, is there anyway to just perform a get without having to use the current workspace settings or change the workspace settings to the desired path? There is no reason to link the files to CM after the get, so I have no reason to preserve this 'workspace'. I just want to be able to create a directory anywhere I want and get TFS to give me a copy of the current version labeled files at the current directory, or to a directory I supply 'on the fly'. There seems

I asked this question originally on ServerFault.com , but there seems to me more activity regarding TFS 2010 on StackOverflow.com, so I decided to re post it here... It is my understanding that "Project Collection Valid Users" TFS group can no longer be modified directly. However, I would like to grant all of my domain users (Windows group called "DOMAIN\Domain Users") a "reader" level access to TFS project Collection... I know I can go to each Project and add "DOMAIN\Domain Users" to [Project]\Readers group but I am wondering if this is possible to achieve in "one shot" so that future

I'm interested in getting the contents of a shelveset at the command prompt. Now, you would think that a cmdlet such as Get-TfsShelveset, available in the TFS Power Tools, would do this. You might also think that "tf.exe shelvesets" would do this. However, unless I've missed something, I'm appalled to report that neither of these is the case. Instead, each command requires you to give it a shelveset name, and then simply regurgitates a single line item for that shelveset, along with some metadata about the shelveset such as creationdate, displayname, etc. But as far as I can tell, no way to

I'm trying to change our build scripts from using SourceSafe to TFS without using MsBuild (yet). One hiccup is that the workspace directory is renamed and archived by the scripts, which makes TFS think it doesn't need to get any files. Even with the /force flag it just gets the directories without getting the source files. I am currently using TF.exe get "Product/Main/Project1" /force /recursive /noprompt To save me managing workspaces in the scripts or using intermediate directories, does anyone know of a command that can get directories and code without needing a workspace? It's not possible
