How to set up TFS 2008 SP1 to use TSWA links
Published On Buck Hodges & bharry's blog.
In TFS 2005 you can configure work item hyperlinks that are sent from Team Foundation Server or Team Explorer to link to Web pages in Team System Web Access - Link between Team System Web Access to TFS notifications
But in TFS 2008 SP1 it's easier, you can use tfsadminutil util
Open a Command Prompt window and move to the following subdirectory:
\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server\Tools
Type tfsadminutil configureconnections /tswauri:http://TSWA computer:port
TFS 2008 SP1 had a bug that caused checkin notifications to fail when you've used the new tfsadminutil configureconnections options to configure the URL to your Team System Web Access
You must install the following fix (QFE) in order to use the feature: KB957196 - Checkin event e-mail alert notification doesn't work (download).
