Microsoft Team Foundation Server Power Tools 1.20

Microsoft Team Foundation Server Power Tools is a free, optional add-on from Microsoft that enhances Team Foundation Server (TFS) and Team Explorer with productivity features for developers, build engineers, and administrators. It delivers extra commands, Windows shell integration, and Visual Studio extensions to streamline source control, work item customization, and server maintenance.

Key capabilities include:

• Command-line utilities (tfpt.exe) for advanced source control tasks such as annotate, treediff, rollback, unshelve with merge, and workspace cleanup (scorch).
• Windows Explorer integration to view history, compare files, and manage pending changes directly from the desktop.
• Visual Studio enhancements like the Process Template Editor for editing work item types and process templates, Find in Source Control, Work Item Search, Alerts Explorer, and Team Members presence integration.
• Administrative tools such as the Best Practices Analyzer to help validate and troubleshoot TFS configurations.

Compatibility and feature availability vary by TFS/Visual Studio version. While designed primarily for on-premises TFS, some tools may not apply to newer Azure DevOps Server or Azure DevOps Services environments.
