Yes that method also works very well.

Subject: RE: [OzTFS] Overriding a check-out lock



I thought that delete a user's workspace would also get rid of their locks, 
pending changes,etc?  It also has the benefit of removing an unnecessary 
workspace.

Adam,

 

The only way to release a lock is to use the command line utlity tf.exe.

 

The syntax is:

 

tf undo [/workspace:workspacename[;workspaceowner]] [/server:servername] 
[/recursive] itemspec [/noprompt]

 

You will need to gather the name of the user and the name of the workspace they 
checked the file out to (right click the file in the source control explorer 
window and select properties/status).

 

NOTE: On success you will likely receive a message along the lines of .. 

The workspace ... is not on this computer. Run get (...) on the computer 
hosting that workspace to update it....

 

This is just a warning informing you that the file residing in the users local 
workspace does not match the server and should be replaced by that user via the 
get method. i.e. by unlocking the file you are effectively discarding any 
changes.

 

Cheers,

Raj

Hi,

 

Our TFS server has a file checked out to a user who no longer works for the 
company. Does anyone know how to override this check out?

 

Thanks again,
