Undo checkout of another user in tfs
Here is a familiar scenario: someone does a checkout from a computer and forgets to check in. The computer is removed from network or the use is take off the project. Anyhow you end up with a file that is checked out to a resource no longer available. Luckily there is a commandline option if you are an admin in the tfs server i questions. The commandline : tf.exe undo /workspace: workspacename ; owner "$/xxx/Code/References" /server: servername /noprompt A real world example would be: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0>tf undo /workspace:PC-750328 ;eriei$/BizTalk/Utility/Library/Main/Utility.Library/MessageContext.cs /server :"tfs.eikeberg.com/defaultCollection" The output form this is: The operation completed successfully. Because the workspace PC-750328;Andreas H jelle is not on this computer, you must perform a separate get operation in that workspace to update it with the changes that have been made on the server.
