Usage
You can use wiqadmin to directly administer your queries without having to use TeamExplorer. Since wiqadmin is a command-line utility, it can be used in batch files when you need such a file to make a custom update on a TeamProject (work item types and queries for example) and be able to execute it in your different environment (Dev, PreProd, Prod).
