Manually Update TFS Warehouse Utility (with C# Source)

Eric Lee - A Humble Blog - Updating the TFS Warehouse

"...The Team Foundation Server Data Warehouse updates itself every couple of hours by default....

However, there are times when you want to update the warehouse on demand. Maybe you’re giving a demonstration, or maybe you’re debugging an adapter you’ve written or maybe you just need the most up to date method.

There have been times where this could have come in handy... Plus it’s a cool example of using the TFS API to get the registered servers and calling the TFSWarehouse to get the status and to kick off an update.
