Renaming TFS2010 Team Project

Is it possible to rename a TFS2010 team project?

The project in question is based on the开发者_开发知识库 CMMI 5.0 team project template, but it has been modified with several custom modifications (new WITs and link types).

For a rename to be feasible, all history must be maintained.

In all: No, it can't be done.

Your only shot is to create a new Team Project named as you 'd like and then move everything to it. This involves serious work done by hand.
After that, you can't erase your old TeamProject - you will loose the history. You can lock it and make it unavailable to everybody.

After having done this a few times we think about the names of our Team Projects a lot. If at some point their name is(gets) wrong, I 'd say we 'll live with the mismatch.

Unfortunately, team projects in TFS are not able to be renamed in TFS 2005, TFS 2008, or TFS 2010. It's currently the #1 feature on the Visual Studio User Voice site for TFS. If this is something that's important, I'd recommend putting some votes on that feature: http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/suggestions/2037605-rename-project-in-tfs

As far as I know you can create a new TeamProject and move your sources while maintaining history. Not sure if work items are preserved even when you delete/destroy the original TeamProject though.

As per the other comments "No, you can't", when we do it here we create a new project and then migrate source and work items over using the TFS Integration Platform, then delete the original project
