The Write-Host command is not recognized by TFS by default. This is because TFS uses a different version of PowerShell than the one that is installed on your local machine. To make Write-Host recognizable on TFS, you can redefine the command in your PowerShell profile.

Here is an example of how to do this:

# This redefines the Write-Host command to use Write-Verbose
function Write-Host {
    Write-Verbose $args
}

Once you have saved this code in your PowerShell profile, you will be able to use Write-Host in your TFS scripts. The output of the command will be displayed in the TFS console window.

Here is an example of how to use Write-Host in a TFS script:

Write-Host "This is a message from Write-Host"

This will display the message "This is a message from Write-Host" in the TFS console window.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind when using Write-Host on TFS:

  • The output of Write-Host will not be colored in the TFS console window.
    • If you are using a version of PowerShell that is older than 5.0, Write-Host will be a wrapper for Write-Information. This means that the output of Write-Host will be displayed in the information stream, which is not the default stream for TFS.
