How to remember username/password when calling tf.exe?

Question

I use tf.exe command to get the latest codes but it keeps asking for username/password - is there a way to make those credentials remembered?

I've looked at the tf.exe argument list but no options allowing to pass-in username/password. What can I try next?

I think what you need is adding the parameter /login, i.e. /login:DOMAIN\Username,YourPassword, to your TF.exe command.

Example: TF.exe get $/Path/To/Source/On/TFSServer /recursive /login:DOMAIN\Username,YourPassword

Hope that helps!

If you define an environment variable named TF_AUTO_SAVE_CREDENTIALS, then you only need to provide login credentials once per session. Source: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh190725.aspx – Will Bickford Dec 20 '12 at 16:29

You can store the credentials in the Stored Windows Credentials.

Thank you Hofman! Though, I'm looking for a parameter syntax. – Nam G VU Dec 16 '10 at 04:10
