I migrated TFS from an old server "OLDMACHINE" to a newone "NEWMACHINE". TFS is shutted down on OLDMACHINE. Now I want to update my different URLs on developpers computers.
For my git clones, the command is :
git remote set-url origin https://NEWMACHINE/...
I don't find the corresponding command with tf workspaces. I've search in the Visual Studio's window Workspaces..., but I can't open it anymore because my old TFS is down.
The next command show me my workspaces :
tf workspaces
Is it possible to update the URL with
tf workspace ?
There are many documentations about renaming computer, moved folder, username, but I didn't find any in my direction.
EDIT : I found this key in regedit, with subkeys. I want to give it a try, has anyone ever done this manipulation?
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0 or 14.0\TeamFoundation\Instances\OLDMACHINE
There is no this kind of related command for TFVC. Each TFS server has a unique identifier(GUIDs) that is used to represent each collection and is not dependent on the server "name." The upgrade/migration does not modify the TFS GUIDs.
For that reason, all end-users have to do is connect to the TFS server via Visual Studio and can resume work, including any pending changes. No need to update the "collection name" for their local workspace.
Besides, if you have problems with workspaces, TFS Sidekicks is a really useful tool because it gives you a nice GUI tool to list, check, delete and manage all workspaces defined in your TFS. (Need Administrative privilege)
