I'm using TFS Release Management. In my deployment, I want to replace tokens in a file, but first, I need a task to rename the file (overwriting the one that is there already).

Seems like it should be super obvious, but I can't seem to get it to work.

Thanks in advance for any help :)

Possibly duplicate with this question: Visual Studio Team Services Release Definition - Task to rename a file?

Try this method:

1) Add the "Inline Powershell" task from the marketplace

2) Enter the following Powershell in the text area 

Param  
(  
 [string]$pathToFileToRename  
)  

Rename-Item $pathToFileToRename NewName.txt

3) Enter any required arguments in the arguments text box (you can use environment variables) e.g. 

pathToFileToRename $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/somepath/CurrentName.txt

How to run the task please refer this blog: Using the Inline PowerShell VSTS task
