Open the Team Foundation Administration Console

You can configure and manage various aspects of your deployment of Team Foundation by using the administration console for Team Foundation. For example, you can add a server for hosting team project portals, create and modify team project collections, and change the service account for Visual Studio Team Foundation Server. This administration console is installed when you install one or more of the following components on a server:

  • an application-tier for Team Foundation Server

  • the extensions for SharePoint Products

  • Team Foundation Build

  • Visual Studio Lab Management

For more information, see The Team Foundation Administration Console.

Required Permissions

To perform these procedures, you must be a member of the Team Foundation Administrators group or your Edit Server-Level Information permission must be set to Allow. For more information about permissions, see Team Foundation Server Permissions.

To open the administration console from the Start menu

  1. On a server that is running one or more components of Team Foundation (as listed earlier in this topic), click Start, point to All Programs, and then click Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010.

  2. Click Team Foundation Administration Console.

    NoteNote

    If Team Foundation Administration Console does not appear as a menu option, you might not have permission to open it. You can try to open it at a command prompt, but you might not be able to access some or all of the administration console's functionality.

    The administration console opens. You might have to wait briefly for all the information to populate throughout the nodes of the console.

To open the administration console at a command prompt

  1. On a server that is running one or more components of Team Foundation (as listed earlier in this topic), open a Command Prompt window, and change directories to the tools directory for Team Foundation Server.

    By default, the tools directory is located in Drive:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 10.0\Tools.

  2. Type TFSMgmt.exe, and then press ENTER.

    The administration console opens. You might have to wait briefly for all the information to populate throughout the nodes of the administration console.

    Note   You can open the administration console at a command prompt even if you do not have all the required permissions to view or modify some or all of the information that the console shows.

DOH Finger-Boarding Web Shop From Finland
Hi,
This issue´s purpose should be integrate our web shop´s applications as our post offices "Prinetti" web tool and allthe different web sites as YouTube channel and forums as one in the Facebook and our email of course. Our first goal is to achieve interactive,secure and simple, easy going/finding our information/products/etc. We have a lot stuff in the Internet so our first step would be making our WordPress site as the port to all we have and will do in the internet future and get all possible applications working in our sites as well as possible.

We do not just sell items we also try to give our customers something back like competitions and sponsoring some great personalities who can also skate.

Best Regards,
Sami and Tomi Lempinen
