How to rename a project in the Team Foundation Server 2008? What are khown issues?

Best Answer

The Team project cannot be renamed in TFS v1

You may use the following workaround (sort of workaround, because you won't really end up with renamed project with identical contents):

  1. Create new project with desired name
  2. Copy work items from old project to a new one (one-by-one, as there is no bulk copy option).
  3. Move all source control folders from under old project folder to a new project folder Sharepoint portal documents cannot be moved in bulk (as far as I know), so you do that manually
  4. Move of source code will retain the files history, and work items will also have partial history, but overall I would say the workaround does not worth the labour (and Sharepoint docs will not have their history). At any rate, selecting right name in the beginning beats any workaround by far.
