I installed TFSE on my computer. Now I want to stop it from auto running from when I boot the computer, but I rather not uninstall it. I've checked the startup list in Task Manager but it's not there. Is there any way of stopping it from auto-starting?
First, just as Daniel says:It's not recommend to hold TFS server on your own desktop PC. If you really want it, you can install it in your Virtual machine. Install Team Foundation Server
If you just need the service and process of TFS not running. You can stop the service manually follow Stop and start services, application pools, and websites
If you want to prevent Visual Studio from connecting to Team Foundation Server on startup. Please refer this smilar question.

After cloning a 2010 TFS server, upgrading the clone's OS to 2012R2, upgrading SQL Server to 2012 SP2 (11.0.5343), uninstalling TFS 2010, and upgrading to TFS 2013 with update 5, we are running into issues starting the Build Service on the clone.
I've removed the agents and build controllers referencing the other original server through Manage Build Controllers, in Visual Studio 2013.
I've tried to use the TFS 2013 upgrade wizard and it fails when attempting to start the build service so I tried to unconfigure: "tfsconfig.exe setup /uninstall:TeamBuild" and reconfigure through the TFS 2013 upgrade wizard but it yielded the same result.
The TFS database server, Build Server, controller, and agent are located on the same box
For measure, I've even deleted the agents, controllers, and Unregistered and Registered the Build Service in the Team Foundation Server Administration Console as both the batch account used on the original server but that failed so to rule out authentication, I used my domain account (I'm a Local Admin, SQL Server Admin, and TFS Admin) but still had the same result with both accounts.
The Windows event log states “Service cannot be started. The handle is invalid”.
I'm not sure what else could be missed does anyone have any pointers?
There were over 100 Microsoft patches/updates applied over the weekend and the issue went away. Microsoft confirmed that the issue was related to the OS, not the TFS configuration or installation/upgrade.
Thanks for all your suggestions. Hopefully this will help someone else out if they are in the same situation and spinning wheels to find the answer. Keep your systems as up to date as possible!
Try to remove build service by going to Team Foundation Server Administration Console, select server name, and click Remove Feature, to remove build service feature, then re-configure it.
I have TFS 2013 Update 3 installed on a machine and I'm trying to configure the TFS Build service on another machine on the same domain. The registration of the build service completes successfully but the service, controller, and build agents go into an endless start/stop/restart loop. The event viewer on the build machine gives the following error in the Build Services Operational log:
Build machine 'x' lost connectivity to message queue tfsmq://buildservicehost-18/.
Reason: TF30063: You are not authorized to access http://tfs2013:8080/tfs/defaultcollection.
Things I have tried:
Both NetworkService account and a domain account for the build configuration
Unregistering/re-registering the build service
Uninstalling TFS on build machine and reinstalling
Creating a fresh server 2012 install, installing TFS build component on it
The domain account I tried to use was in the build service account group for the collection and I've even tried putting it in the admin group. I also tried running it as my own domain account which is a tfs admin and domain admin account. All with the same results. The fact that this occurred on 2 different machines, one with a completely fresh everything install leads me to believe the problem is on the TFS application tier itself but I have no idea where to go from here. Visual studio is able to connect to TFS just fine for all users.
It sounds like you have a TFS 2012 server that you are trying to connect a TFS 2013 build agent to. This is not a supported configuration.
It is recommended that your build Agents version of TFS matched the version on the server. This does not mean that you can't build with any version of MSBuild or VS that you want on that agent. That's configuration.
I ended up resolving this by doing the following:
Detach Collection
Backup Collection as a precaution
Uninstall TFS 2013 from the App Tier (which is also the Data Tier)
Re-install TFS 2013 and configure it for single server like it was without creating a collection
Attach the existing collection
Uninstall TFS on the build server
Re-install TFS on the build server and configure the service, controller, and agents.
This worked fine and didn't cause me to lose anything. I still don't understand why I was having problems in the first place but my only guess is that it was some type of remnant from doing a migration based upgrade from TFS 2010.
Hello i have a problem with remote debugging in Visual Studio (v12)
I Created windows azure account i published application to the cloud.
Then i connected to this account through remote desktop. Address of remote computer is f.e Iron.app.net
Then i downloaded there and run remote debugger. I started msvsmon.exe and it created server named:
RD0015555E2:555
And now i would like to remote debugging in my host.
i know i must attach to process. And i do it.
From Visual Studio: Debug->attach to process->Qualifier:RD0015555E2 and it cannot resolve host name.
i also tried Iron.app.net but then it shows error that it seems that msvsmon is not installed.
I dont know what should i type into Qualifier (as remote machine)?
Remote debugging is tricky to configure Windows Azure Cloud Services. Other options that you have are:
Intellitrace (in case you've got Visual Studio Ultimate)
Intensive (verbose) pro-active code instrumentation (logging) from the beginning.
Profiling Cloud Service
Chose either, and watch your logs/traces.
Or deep dive into Remote Debugging Cloud Services. I would, however use Remote Debugging as a final option, when everything else does not work and does not help me. Typically most of the issues that would pop in the cloud will also pop in when debugging locally. And if role is just recycling, you will not be able to attach debugger at all.
I have recently started to received this message.
Unable to start debugging on the web server.
The IIS worker process for the launched URL is not currently running
Does anyone know what this means?
I created my virtual directory via Properties on the project, and clicking Create Virtual Directory. ANd in IIS I can see it, I run VS 2010 with Admin Privs.
The Application pool in .Net 4.0
Any help really appreciated
Thanks
EDIT
I managed to get it working but its a good workaround really. Basically there was another website setup i.e. Default Website where all my apps goes which was started and running.
And there was another website (which was stopped!) that was for installanywhere.. But it was stopped! ... I removed the site completely and now it works
Can vs 2010 not figure out which one to connect to or something?
I presumed if its stopped then it wouldn't try and connect..
Very confused, Anybody know of alternative work around?
I got the same error message after reinstalling VS2010. In my case all application pools in the IIS where remapped to run 4.0, so VS2010 was unable to figure out which pool to attach its self to during debugging. The solution in my case, was to manually delete few pools and remapping my older pools back to .net 2.0. I finally ended up, only having 2 pools pointing towards .net 4.0 (integrated and classic) and 2 pools running .net 2.0 (integrated and classic).
I'm debugging a vb.net windows program which I've upgraded to a VS 2010 solution, targeting Framework 2. I need to step into a webservice's code. The web service is framework 3.5, also vb.net, running on a windows 2003 server on our LAN. I've seen a ton of crap on the Net about it, mostly other people who couldn't get it working either.
The error I get in VS2010 is the exact same one I got before upgrading the project from VS 2005:
Unable to automatically step into the server. Connecting to the server
machine [servername] failed. The Microsoft Visual Studio
Remote Debugging Monitor (MSVSMON.EXE) does not appear to be
running on the remote computer. Please see Help for assistance.
So I did what Help said to do and ran the VS 2008 remote debugging wizard on the host server. I have verified that the remote debugger is running as a service on that machine. And it still fails.
Little help? THANKS
Just in case anyone comes here looking for this answer, here it is. No goofy 'Attach to Process', no weird bad instructions
from websites going off on a million stupid tangents. This answer has been FALKENIZED.
When on the same LAN and on the same domain, remote debugging from Visual Studio 2010 works when you do the following steps.
on web service host machine, share the web application folder where the web service lives; give yourself 755 permissions.
oops, give yourself wrxr permissions.
on local development machine, map a network drive to the [web service host machine][web app] folder you just shared.
copy the Visual Studio 2010 remote debugger folder (containing msvsmon.exe + support files) to web service host machine.
Make sure you get the correct platform for your host server, e.g. x86, x64, etc. Remote debugger is found here:
C:\Program Files\Visual Studio 2010\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger[platform]
on web service host machine, drag a shortcut from the newly-copied debugger to the desktop, then start the remote debugger
on local development machine, step thru code. when reaching a call to the web service, you'll be prompted to navigate
to the location of requested web service code file, which will then be available in your mapped path. Do it.
Finally after 1000000 headaches, you may start debugging your web service. CONGRATULATIONS
