TFSLabConfig CreateTeamProjectHostGroup Command

Use the CreateTeamProjectHostGroup command to assign a host group from a team project collection to an individual team project in the collection. Host groups specify one or more physical machines that are the deployment targets for virtual environments in Visual Studio Lab Management. Host groups are created in System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) and assigned to a project collection by Visual Studio Lab Management. Use separate CreateTeamProjectHostGroup commands to assign multiple host groups to a team project. 

Note

You can automatically assign a host group to all the projects in a team project collection when you assign the host group to the team project collection. See TFSConfig Lab /HostGroup Commands and How to: Change the Host Groups for Your Team Project Collections.

Required Permissions

To use the CreateTeamProjectHostGroup command, you must have the Manage Lab Locations permission at the Team Project Collection Host Group level. By default, the members of the Team Foundation Server Administrators and Project Collection Administrators groups have this permission. For more information, see Permission reference for Team Foundation Server.
