How to find all files a particular user has ever changed in Team Foundation Server

I know there is an easy way to do this with SVN so there must be a similar way with TFS.

Basically, I want to have a list of every file a particular username ever edited (IE: checked out & changed or added). This is on TFS 2008.

I know how to do this in VS2010 and I'm sure it works the very similar in VS 2008 --

In Visual Studio, open "Team Explorer" window.
Expand your main TFS branch.
Expand "Team Members" branch. Under this branch you will see the names of all TFS members.
Right-click a member, and select "Show Checkin History". This will list all the files changed (checked in) by the selected member.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

The answers so far return a list of changesets, not a list of files. Try:

Get-TfsItemHistory $/ -r -user username -all | Select-TfsItem | sort -unique path

Using the Powershell cmdlets also included with the Power Tools.

Bryan - the answer you provided is one way. You can also do this in fewer steps by installing the free Team Foundation Server Power Tools - October 2008 Release from MSDN. There are a number of great out-of-band updates to the Team Explorer feature set, but the one you are interested in is called the Team Members feature:

This will allow you to quickly search for all check-in's by a given Team Member. Look around at the other features as I am sure you will find some other handy things as well. Personally, I like the "Show Shelvesets" as it makes it much easier to use the Shelveset feature for code reviews, etc.

I found one way to do it:

  1. Go to Source Control Explorer in Visual Studio
  2. Right click on the project root
  3. Select Find in Source Control -> Changesets
  4. Enter the username you are looking for in the 'By User' field
  5. Click find

This returns a list of changesets from the user. You can then click the details button to expand the changeset.
