Remarks

Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010 automatically disambiguated users who have the same display name by appending the ___domain and account name. Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012 does not disambiguate display names. SetCustomDisplayName can be used instead to make a display name unique.
