Nothing would suit me better than to migrate all of my source to the cloud as I’d be able to work remotely then without needing to VPN into my home office but I cannot see a way to migrate such that I can bring all my history with me

Allow git users to associate commits and branches with Team foundation service work items. Right now there is no way to do this.

It is possible to pre-create a database when creating a new project collection. But it is not possible if you do upgrade e.g. from TFS 2008.

I think their should be an option to upload new custom process templates at the server level. so that if any of team member irrespective of collection should get this custom template while creating team project.

currently we have an option to upload process template at collection level. if want to enable for all TPC's i will have to do this upload procedure to all TPC's

Many other project management systems provide the ability to view all activity of a specific user within that system. For TFS, this could be taken even a step higher since it also controls source control.

This would essentially allow you to, at a glance, view your (or a specific users) source control history (check-ins, merges, etc) and modifications to work items/tasks, ordered by the date they occurred.

When adding a user e-mail that user should receive an e-mail notification that they have been added to TFS. The e-mail should contain relevant links and instructions on how to login. Also if the e-mail address isn't a Live ID the e-mail should provide a path for making that e-mail a Live ID or allow logins with arbitrary e-mail accounts not bound by Live ID.

TFSPreview is able to build SharePoint components using the hosted build agents. In fact you aren't able to create WSPs. When using OnPremise Build Agents I can pass /p:IsPackaging=true as MSBuild argument.

When doing so with an hosted build agent, you receive the following exception for each SharePoint project sitting in your solution.

C:\...\Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.targets(411,5):error: Illegal characters in path.

But in fact the path looks good.

Install latest version of Sandcastle Helpfile builder with all needed components to the default Hosted Build Server of Team Foundation Service.

It would be nice in the Team Explorer for 2011 if you could mark a build definition as already running in the "All Build Definitions" area. So if someone queues a build, and then someone else goes to queue a build, they will see that one is already running an not queue it.

In the team foundation server tasks, the description is a very small window and doesn't have a print or export feature. I put a lot of stuff in the description, sometimes a list of 20 little things to do rather than make 20 tasks.

This functionality used to be there in previous versions and is sorly missed by our non techy administrators. Yes we could waste a lot of time and effort creating bespoke reports using the data tools etc but it used to far easier in the good old days just to dump this info into Excel and pass it on. Frankly the current style and theme of 2012 is just a mess and looks very amatureish.

It would be helpful have the ability to add a table to a work item as a standard or custom control with the ability to roll up dimensions and measures on a per-column basis. Currently, we need to implement this on a per-cell basis. I don't see serialization into XML as an option for this as I would like to be able to run reports against these fields in SSAS. Avoidance of a reference for each cell like Company.Type.FieldName.1, Company.Type.FieldName.2, etc. is preferable, as it makes a mess of the cube.

As a TFS Administrator I want to be able to manage all of the various security settings (Project, Area/Iteration, Source Control, Build) in one place so that I do not have to navigate all over the place to implement strategy.
