It would append the domain account like so: * John Smith (MYDOMAIN\jsmith) * John Smith (MYDOMAIN\johns) Are you using TFS 2005, 2008, or 2010?

From the returned identity object, you can get the account name and/or SID. IIdentityManagementService identityManagementService = tpc.GetService<IIdentityManagementService>(); TeamFoundationIdentity identity = identityManagementService.ReadIdentity(IdentitySearchFactor.DisplayName, "display name here"); If TFS2008, you don't have a lot of options. To narrow the users down, you can check both usernames/sids and see if one of them doesn't have access to TFS. Use IGroupSecurityService.ReadIdentity() Grant From: oztfs-boun...@oztfs.com [mailto:oztfs-boun...@oztfs.com] On Behalf Of Kazmi, Syed Ali Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2010 5:27 PM To: 'ozTFS' Subject: Getting the WorkItem.CreatedBy via TFS API Hi guys, Just wanted to know if there is a way to get the lanid and/or the SID for the user assigned to the "WorkItem.CreatedBy" via TFS API. All I am able to get is the "Display Name", I can query the AD to get the user information using that; but in case there are two or more people having the same name how can I identify who was assigned to the "WorkItem.CreatedBy" field.

Good to know the logical reason behind the log4net.dll not being copied : ) Cheers, Brian.

I really hope this isn't the case and I think it's not as structure map is in fact copied and is referenced the same way. I had previously asked our build master if there was any chance log4net.dll was in the GAC and he promised me it wasn't... turns out it is.... So waiting for a new clean CI server to build on before I can make any more progress on this. Sorry for wasting your time everyone.
