Option Description

/server

Identifies the Team Foundation Server. This option is required if the command is invoked from a directory that is not mapped to a workspace.

Remarks

You can manage the following team project settings using the configure command:

  • Check-out settings can be used to determine whether multiple users can edit files at the same time.

  • Check-in policies provide controls that are invoked at check-in time, to make sure that defined criteria are met before a user checks in pending changes.

  • Check-in notes define custom fields into which users provide information during the check-in process. Check-in notes can be either required or optional.

For more information about these settings, see Walkthrough: Customizing Check-in Policies and Notes.

For links to other Team Foundation commands that provide additional information about the items in your Team Foundation source control server and all the workspaces that map to it, see Informational Commands.

Examples

The following example displays the Source Control Settings dialog box in which you can examine and modify the team project settings for the current Team Foundation server.
