The workspace [workspaceName];[Owner] already exists on computer [OldComputerName]
To delete the workspace, open visual studio command prompt. First display list of workspaces for named computer giving workspace name and owner:
>tf workspaces /computer:oldComputerName /collection:”http://devsrvr:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection”
To delete:

Step by step instructions to enable and view logging information in an Azure Cloud Service (Worker Role) using Log4Net.
From Visual Studio 2013, create a new Project using the “Azure Cloud Service” template.
From the “New Microsoft Azure Cloud Service” dialog choose Visual C# and “Worker Role”.
Your solution should now contain 2 projects:
Once created, use nuget package manager to add the Log4Net package. From the Package Manager console:
PM> Install-Package log4net -Version 2.0.5
Open “WorkerRole.cs” in the WorkerRole1 project and add a private instance of log4net logger:
private ILog _log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(WorkerRole));
Modify the RunAsync method as follows:
private async Task RunAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
// TODO: Replace the following with your own logic.
while (!cancellationToken.IsCancellationRequested)
{
Trace.TraceInformation("Working");
_log.Info(" *********** log4net RunAsync *****************");
await Task.Delay(1000);
}
}
Add a new configuration file to the WorkerRole1 project called “log.config”:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<log4net>
<appender name="TraceAppender" type="log4net.Appender.TraceAppender">
<param name="ImmediateFlush" value="true" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%property{NDC}] - %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<root>
<level value="ALL" />
<appender-ref ref="TraceAppender" />
</root>
</log4net>
</configuration>
Note that the logging level is set to ALL.
In Solution Explorer click on “log.config” and in the Properties window set “Copy to Output Directory” to “Copy Always”
In the WorkerRole1 project open “AssemblyInfo.cs” and add the following line:
[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile = "log.config", Watch = false)]
Build the project, right click the cloud service project in Server Explorer and select “Debug” -> “Start new instance”
In the Output window you should see your log4net messages.
In Azure, create a new storage account for storing the diagnostics.
In your cloud service project open the “Roles” folder and right-click “WorkerRole1” and select “Properties”.
In the WorkerRole1 configuration pane, ensure that “Enable Diagnostics” is ticked.
Then click the “Configure…” button. On the “General” tab select “All Information” and close the dialog.
Then from the WorkerRole1 configuration pane, click the “…” button next to the storage account credentials text box. From the “Create Storage Connection String” dialog select your Azure account subscription and the storage account name you created at beginning of this section.
Right-click your Azure Cloud Service project and select Publish.
Go through the wizard and publish the service.
From Visual Studio open Server Explorer and connect to your Azure subscription.
Under the “Storage” node you will see the storage accounts one of which will be the one you have configured for diagnostics. Expand this node and then the “Tables” node.
The log4net messages will be written to a table called WADLogsTable. Right-click this table and “View Table”. Look in the “Message” column.
