Parameters

Description |
|---|---|
/ffilepath |
The path to the XML file where all global lists on the Team Foundation server will be exported. If you omit this parameter, the XML is exported to the server's display. .gif "Note") Note:
If you are running Windows Vista, you might not have access rights to certain folders. If you try to export the global list to a location where you do not have access rights, the registry virtualization technology automatically redirects the exported file and saves it to the virtual store. For more information, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=92325 and https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=92323. To avoid this redirection, you can export the file to a location where you have access rights.
