Tweet In my previous post “ Teams and Team Members ” I talked about new Service in TFS API called – TfsTeamService. Using this service we can control Teams and Team Members under TFS.

Tweet I did some cool things lately with TFS Lab Management API, from connecting it to TFS Web Access and allow REST access to the lab (if you want to ask why – The customer is always right ).

Tweet First, what is the Build Service Host or IBuildServiceHost ? The BuildServiceHost object represent the physical location of the Controller and/or Agent objects. The name property is usually the machine name that the Controller or Agent lives on. In earlier versions, this was simply the Machine Name property on the Agent. Now, I’m working with a customer works with Lab Manager and after upgrading the SCVVM and perform some port changes we faced an issue – The Build Service Host stuck in your...

TFS API Part 29 – TFS Impersonation What is TFS Impersonation? TFS Impersonation is a feature that was introduced in TFS 2010 in order to allow a process running as User A to make web service calls to TFS in such a way that TFS thinks the actions are being performed by User B.
