What’s next for the TFS Administration Tool?

Since the release of Visual Studio 2010 and Team Foundation Server 2010, many users have contacted the team asking for a version of TFS Administration Tool which is built on top of the Team Foundation Server 2010 object model. We have looked into this and it looks like is should be fairly easy to recompile the the tool to use the Team Foundation Server 2010 object model. We are hoping to release an updated version of the TFS Administration Tool within a month. Please keep an eye on the project web site for updates on the next release.
