We have TFS 2012 installed.

I want to enforce check-in policies (Code Reviewer name, Work Item association and Comments) for each check-in.

All these settings are performed and are working fine. But still users have option to override the settings and check-in.

I want to setup email alerts so that whenever user check-ins without filling all check-in policies, there must a mail sent to user.

I tried Event subscription Tool and TFS mail alert options but both of them work for current user.

We have more than 200 employees and I cant ask each of them to subscribe for mails.

Is it possible to write custom code or some tool available which will be triggered when user check-ins overriding policies and send a mail to user?

You can create a TeamAlert for CheckIn events where Policy Override Comment is not empty and Commiter = [Me]. This will sent a mail to the developer that checked in overriding the policies.

Another option is to write an EventHandler plugin for TFS, which completely denies checkins that try to override the policies.

Finally I found solution. TFS Plugin Suite This plugin is really awesome. Once the plugin is in-place, it will be called before check-in and will validate the required fields and block check-in unless all values are correct.
