One of the absolutely must have tools for Team Foundation Server administrators is the TFS Administration Tool powertoy. This powertoy allows you to easily configure security for your TFS Team Projects across the three locations (TFS/SRS&WSS) using a single convenient UI.

For those people who have used v1.0 of the tool, you won’t see any drastic change when looking at the UI but it seems a lot more reliable and it handles the occasional error much better. (Had a small issue already – caused by my environment though – not the tool). The panels are now resizable which also helps when trying to use the tool through a terminal session.

What I would really like to see added to this community-based tool? Well it’s just one thing that I really want to see…The ability to browse for a user or group rather than typing each group longhand.

Release 1.1 of the TFS Administration Tool can be download from the CodePlex site.
