Correct Ewald,
Support for changing user's names - One of the support issues we get from time to time is that administrators want to change the names of some of their users (in Windows or Active Directory). What they find is that TFS doesn't cope with this very well and your work items, event subscriptions and a few other things get left behind with the old user name. This release of the Power Tools contains a new tool called TFSUsers that enables you to update TFS's understanding of user name changes. Ideally this would just be automatic (and we plan for it to be in our next release) but until then, the TFSUsers tool will help you. "TFSUsers update" takes a mapping file and will update the user names as described in the mapping file. "TFSUsers computedelta" can generate a mapping file for you by comparing the current Windows/Active Directory user names to a previously captured baseline set and automatically generate the mapping file needed for "TFSUsers update". http://blogs.msdn.com/bharry/archive/2008/07/08/july-08-tfs-power-tool-preview.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=00803636-1d16-4df1-8a3d-ef1ad4f4bbab&displaylang=en -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ewald Hofman Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 5:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [OzTFS] RE: TFS Migrations cross domain [Sec: Unclassified] Christian, Microsoft did release the July Power Tools for VS2008, which do support changing user names. I didn't have the change to look in it into detail. Maybe that will help you.

But I see that you say you want to manipulate user references before migrating. Does that mean changing user names? Because if it does, then don't! Don't change user names, or don't migrate. Take your pick. I can't stress that enough. Don't try to change the usernames!!! If the usernames in the old domain were something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] and that is going to change to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the new domain then find a workaround. Even if it is a nasty workaround it will be less painful than trying to change the username as part of the migration. A workaround might involve going to the newtork admins of the new domain on hands and knees begging for two logons: jsmith and john.smith. The second john.smith logon would purely be for accessing legacy info in TFS. Logon with that account once and assign all work items to the other login and never use it again if you can. That might be ugly, and nasty, and painful. But it is preferable to changing the login as part of the migration process. Good luck PS. Did I advise against trying to change the usernames as part of the migration? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christian Gram Sent: Monday, 21 July 2008 4:17 pm To: [email protected] Subject: [OzTFS] TFS Migrations cross domain Hi all Do anybody have experience with TFS to TFS cross domain migration? The Company is going to split into two companies and the development needs to be moved into a separate domain. There are no trust between domains. We have looked at http://www.codeplex.com/tfstotfsmigration and OnePulse TFS Data Manager. But so far without success. Somehow we need to manipulated with user reference before importing into the new TFS server.
