Decommissioning a Team Foundation Server user

I was wondering what will happen to a user’s Team Foundation Server profile (on SharePoint) once the Windows account has been deleted.

Initially I wasn’t able to find this information on the internet.

However, I had a discussion with a developer of the TFS Administration Tool, and he revealed to me that TFS syncs hourly with the identity stores, and if a user GUID cannot be resolved, it will be marked as deleted.

That means, it’s sufficient to delete the user in Windows and Sharepoint.

The user will be automatically removed from TFS and SQL Reporting Services.
