Remarks

Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010 automatically disambiguated users who have the same display name by appending the domain and account name. Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012 does not disambiguate display names. [SetCustomDisplayName] can be used instead to make a display name unique.
