TFS Release Notes and work items within Builds

I am running automated builds each night which are working fine.

I am trying to get a report of which Work Items have been completed as part of the over night build.

I am currently using TF.EXE history * /recursive /v:d$.......

Which is greate for Change Sets, but these change set are of no use for the release team, as they need to know the workitems.

Any ideas on how I can get the Work Items report?

If you're using TFS in the right way, it should provide this information for you automatically. If you make sure all checkins are associated with a work item then, when you run the build, you will see a list of work items associated with a build.

That list of items is maintained separately for each build type, so if you make sure that your "nightly build" is a different build definition to (for example) your CI build, you should find that you get the list you're looking for.

Extracting that information for reporting purposes may be more difficult - but I'd imagine it's possible to either extract this from the build log or insert a custom build step to write the information out to a file.
