Question

I am new to Team Foundation server and someone committed changes that they weren’t supposed to the night previous. I need to revert this changeset so that when people get latest version they will not get these changes.

I see no easy way to do this, does anyone have experience with this?

Answer 1

You can’t really rollback a changeset. What you have to do is:

1. Find the changeset number you want to get back to.
2. Perform a check-out of all the files that is in need of a rollback.
3. Perform a get specific version (different from get version) and specify the changeset number and select the options to overwrite your local copy with what’s in the changeset.
4. Perform a check-in which would overwrite what is on the server.

You have to do this separately for every file. There you can look at the TFS Power tools which has a rollback that kinda automates the manual steps listed above.

Good luck!
