We have updated our On-Premise Team Foundation Server to 2015. A couple of year ago, I had created Default Team Project, but I forgot how I created it.
In TFS 2015, I could not find New link next to Browse which we normally see in Visual Studio Team Services (was Visual Studio Online).
Our server administrator said I have Administrator access. Could you point me to the right direction?

TFS Version
If you're using TFS 2015 Update 2 or later then you can create a
team project from the web as well.
More detail info please refer the link from MSDN: Create a team project
So for your TFS version, you should either update it to TFS 2015 update 2 or you may have to create team project through Team explorer.
Go to collection administration page, you'll see "New team project":

I'm using TFS Express 2015 and Visual Studio Community 2019. When I try to add solution to source control, I'm getting an error message:
"TF206018: The items could not be added to source control because either no team projects have been set up...".
There's no option of adding team project either in Team Explorer in Visual Studio or in TFS Express Admin Console!?
Is it even possible to work with TFS Express on local machine with VS Community?
It seems it's an existing issue that there is no "New Team Project" option in VS 2019 connecting TFS 2015. Check the following case:
There is no menu to create "new team project" on visual studio 2019

Since it's supported to create and delete Team projects from the web experience in TFS 2015.2 and later, you need to check your TFS edition to see whether you can create a team project from web protal:
As a workaround, you may need to use other versions of VS or install high version TFS.
I'm looking for a way to do administrative tasks such creating new team projects having installed Team Foundation Server 2015 previously without having to install Visual Studio Community 2015. In older versions of TFS, I could use Team Explorer for creating team projects but now which version of Team Explorer can I use to do it on TFS 2015?
The Team Explorer is gone for 2015 "wave": "we are not going to ship a Team Explorer 2015 stand-alone GUI".
To create a new team project you have to use Visual Studio 2015:
"Only the latest version has "full" compatibility with the latest Team Foundation Server, because this will be the only client that contains components that can interface with new features for that release, and will also be the only client from which you can perform certain administrative tasks such as creating new team projects" link
You need at least Team Explorer installed. There's no way around it. The problem is that Microsoft isn't shipping Team Explorer 2015 as a stand-alone package. You can install Community and use that.
Once you have Team Explorer available, you can use the Team Foundation Power Tools to create a Team Project from the command line, though.
If you don't want to install Visual Studio 2015 (8GB across all drives) for Team Explorer only you can follow the workaround explained in that article : http://www.sqlshack.com/wheres-my-team-explorer-2015/ basically by using an older version of Team Explorer and the Excel add-in
I'm using TFS 2013 and Visual Studio 2012 and I'm trying to edit the process template.
On the following page it says: "You must be a member of the Project Collection Administrators group".
Even though my account is in Project Collection Administrators group I cannot download, edit nor upload process template from Visual Studio, as you can see from image below:
Any clues?
I've figured it out. For TFS 2013 in order to be able to edit and upload process template, you have to have Visual Studio 2013 installed. VS2012 isn't going to help you up with this. Here is the source and citation:
To create a team project or manage process templates on an on-premises TFS, you must connect using the same version level of Visual Studio or Team Explorer. That is, to create a team project on TFS 2013, you must connect from Team Explorer 2013.
I have Visual Studio Ultimate edition and need to add a project in TFS.
I want to make my local desktop as the TFS server.
My desktop specs:
Windows 7
Visual Studio 2010 Utlimate
I have no idea how to go about it and add a new project in TFS. I read a lot of blogs but didn't find any that lists something from scratch.
As in when I try to create a Team project in TFS, i get the server section as empty. How to configure my local desktop to act as a TFS server??
First things first, read this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd997788.aspx (Compatibility between Team Foundation clients and Team Foundation Server)
Second, you need to decide which version of TFS you are planning to run. Is your company paying for a version of it or are you planning on using the express edition available (2013)?
If your answer to that is TFS Express 2013, then I suggest you navigate to this link and download the installer. Run it and follow the instructions.
If you are planning a full licensed installation, you should familiarize yourself with the various components that come with it (Report server, Sharepoint, etc).
Here is a link to install and administration: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29035
Follow the following steps:
1.
If you haven't already, connect to your Visual Studio Online account and create your workspace folder.
2.Move the code you want to upload to the workspace folder.
3.Open your solution in Visual Studio.
I am having below issue while creating team project.
TF30172 : you are trying to create team project either without required permission or with in older version of team explorer.
VS2010,SP1 & TFS 2012 installed.
Please let me know how to fix this issue.
You need to install Team Explorer 2012 to be able to create Team Projects.
It is not supported to create Team Projects for TFS 2012 from Team Explorer 2010 regardless of the Service Pack version. If you restrict how Team Projects are created (recommended) then you could just have Team Explorer 2012 on the TFS server. You would need to make sure that you update both when updated are available.
