Help - Do you have a wiki for each page or form?
Loading last updated info...
In agile development; updates, changes and bug fixes happen all the time and an issue that a user encounters today might already is fixed or have a workaround. That is why each page or form should link to a wiki page with any common problems that a user might encounter (and workarounds for them) and planned changes.
This saves the end user from resorting to crawling the web for solutions.

Hi Mr Northwind,
There was a bug in Beta2 (fixed in upcoming RC release) wherein even if you have no lab artifacts in a host group, it did not allow you to delete host group from a Project collection in Team Foundation Admin Console UI until you delete the host groups explicitly from all the associated team projects.
- Run the following commands to project level association (make sure that there are no Lab environments in this Host Group).
**TFSLabConfig.exe DeleteTeamProjectHostGroup /Collection:<CollectionUrl> /teamProject:\* /name:"Testing Host"**
- Delete the host groups from Team Foundation Admin Console UI
There was a similar issue with the Library shares also, and has been fixed now.
Regards, Tech Support

I accidentally (on scvmm) created a folder called "Testing" under by All Hosts group. In TFSAC I added the AllHosts\Testing host. This led me to other problems so I tried to remove this host from TFS. Guess what? I can't remove any hosts from TFS at all! Even after I deleted it from SCVMM. The error I get is:
TF259085: Team Foundation Server could not delete the environment location because the following All Hosts_Testing is currently in use: TeamProjectCollectionhostGroup. Delete the resources at this location, and then try the operation again. (type SoapException)
I have no idea what this is telling me. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks! Mr Northwind
❌ Figure: Bad example - The user encounters an issue and has to email someone about it
✅ Figure: Good example - The 'Wiki...' link in the bottom left, takes the user to a wiki page with common issues and workarounds for this form (e.g. Creating a Project Portal)
