The investment that organisations make in VSTS and TFS is often quite significant, not just the big dev shops but also the little ones where the cost of the product suite is often more hard felt. Once the decision to go with the technology is made it is always very important to be able to quantify adoption of the product and how well it is performing. Brian Harry has been creating a fantastic little utility over time that provides a wide range of information about your TFS Servers and TFS Proxies. While he states it is not really a management tool, I’m sure people in quite a few roles would find various bits of the data very useful.

The tool is not publicly available yet, but Brian’s interesting in hearing from the community as to how valuable we’d find the PowerTool and based on feedback he’ll adjust the priority. Read Brian Harry’s blog post (TFSServerManager PowerTool) and make sure you leave a comment to let him know if you’d like to see this PowerTool.

My feedback for Brian… “Yes Please – Bring it on!”
