Scott,
That's awesome - I'm particularly pleased that you create an AD group and then do all the operations against that, makes it much easier to maintain membership correctly, definitely the best way to go. My only bit of feedback is that you might want to consider talking about the licensing implications upfront. Obviously, you need to pay Microsoft for a TFS CAL for every person that you connect into your TFS instance. When dealing with external folks, there is also the TFS External Connector License which allows you to connect an unlimited number of folks from outside your organization. However, many people are not aware of the licensing implications of doing what you propose (the same implications are true if you expose an external, hand written ASP page that collates a bug report and automatically adds data to TFS). From our point of view, it is the license implications in TFS V1 that has prevented us from exposing our TFS WIT data directly to our customers in the past as we would have trouble absorbing the 500 USD required for each customer CAL or the ~ 14000 USD required for an external connector license. Therefore, it may be worth warning folks about the licensing issues upfront in your doc just so anyone reading it doesn't forget. That said - nice work on the document. Martin. Martin Woodward.
