Global Options
The following options can be applied to all Team Foundation commands:
/noprompt
/noprompt is used to suppress any comments or errors that would otherwise be displayed during the completion of this operation.
Note
If you specify a command file switch ("@"), the Team Foundation commands that follow it are non-interactive. Therefore, you do not have to include the /noprompt option for commands that appear in a command file.
/login
/login is used to specify the user name and password to authenticate the user with the Team Foundation Server. The usage is /login:username[,password]. If /login:username is supplied but /noprompt is not, the user is prompted for the password. If /login:username,password is specified, Team Foundation Server uses the supplied parameters.
Specialized Options
You can use the following option to perform command line operations:
Option |

@filename.tfc |
