Howto: undo another users check-out as a TFS admin

  • Article

Although its a task you seldom would want to do, it might become a necessity when someone leaves the team on hurry/short notice. The way out is aptly described by Matthew at https://blogs.msdn.com/mrod/archive/2007/01/08/undoing-a-checkout-that-belongs-to-another-user.aspx , and I just thought I would mirror the command to give it more live search-ability :)

tf undo /workspace:OtherUserWorkspaceName;OtherUserName $/Project/..../FileName.cs /s:https://yourtfsserver:8080
