I renamed my computer name, and now my TFS workspace is broken in Visual Studio 2012.

When I type:

tf workspaces /computer:ABOTONJIC-PC /owner:* /format:detailed


Workspace  : ABOTONJIC-PC
Owner      : [email protected]
Computer   : ABOTONJIC-PC
Comment    :
Collection : netuse.visualstudio.com\DefaultCollection
Permissions: Private
Location   : Local
File Time  : Current

But I need to have :

Owner      : [email protected]
Computer   : NEW-PC

Then I try:

tf workspaces /updateComputerName:ABOTONJIC-PC /collection:netuse.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection


No workspace matching *;[email protected] on computer NEW-PC found in Team Foundation Server netuse.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection.

So my question are :

  1. How to update computer name in my workspace?
  2. Why TFS still shows "[email protected]" in workspace although there is new email registered as "[email protected]"?

I installed Sidekicks. It did not work for this issue, but this did:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE>tf workspaces /updateComputerName:OldComputerName /s:"https://tfsServerName"
