What is the best way to have one admin setup alerts for the entire team. Especially those users who may not be using VS2010? I have read about the command line tool: BisSubscribe.exe, but is there an easier tool for command line novices? Thanks

The TFS web interface is pretty decent for setting up alerts. No Visual Studio required.

To add alerts via Team System Web Access:

  • Open the Settings dropdown (far right side of screen).
  • Choose Team Project | Alerts
  • Custom Alert Subscription (halfway down the page). From there you can setup what kind of alert and who it should go to.
