[#~TFS11] Friendly Names

Good,

Thanks to Brian Harry gives us small brushstrokes of the next versions of Visual Studio with Team Foundation, you can comment on some of these developments. One of which they most appreciate is the ability to work with Friendly Names to identify users. This is somewhat related to the post I wrote a couple of days, where it said some ways of knowing with what user I am connected to a Team Foundation Server.

Initially, the way in which we work in Team Foundation 2010 is to keep the user with format [DOMINIO\USERID], so in friendly domains, one can be represented by [AVANADE\Bruno], but there are domains where used obfuscation techniques advanced to create a user id and you get to take in the history of a file, changes made by [VALMAR\C 12FF4] or [VALMAR\Z-99KR3]If that you used to analyze the historical because you have been fried.

In Team Foundation 11 (name still pending) because we have the ability to link these IDs of users to “Friendly Names” which can be very useful, as [VALMAR\Valentino] and [VALMAR\Martina] is much more descriptive than the previous examples.
