To remove users completely from TFS server. You should remove the user from all the security groups.

UsE the command below to get this account has been added to which groups. Then check all those groups and try to remove that account from those groups.

TFS security imx:

tfssecurity /imx [domain\account] /server:[server url]

Besides, changes you make to local or Active Directory groups do not get reflected in TFS immediately. Instead, TFS will synchronize those groups regularly.

A periodic clean-up job that is executed removes people from the global groups. If you just wait, they will disappear in a couple of days. They will not have access to any of the TFS assets however.

You could look in http://tfs.mydomain.com:8080/tfs/_oi to see the sync job.

If you cannot wait for the scheduled job, you can try to do the force sync: http://msmvps.com/blogs/vstsblog/archive/2011/02/17/force-tfs-to-sync-with-active-directory.aspx
