I am trying to set up Team Foundation Server for my official visual studio projects, and we have set up TFS 2015 - Basic Server setup.
I have been working with Visual Studio 2012 in my development machine and trying to connect to the TFS and add projects to it.
When I go to File -> New Team Project, I got an error saying 'TF0172: You are trying to create a team project either without required permissions or with an older version of Team Explorer. Contact your project administrator to check your permissions or to determine how to upgrade Team Explorer'.
I have admin rights in the TFS server as well as in the development machine so the error machine does not look like it is a permission issue.
So trying to see if VS2012 is compatible with TFS 2015, or is it possible to make both compatible?
I have also updated my Visual Studio 2012 with the update 5.
Creating a team project requires a matching version of Visual Studio. So, to create a team project in TFS 2015, you need Visual Studio (or Team Explorer) 2015.

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 am working on Xamarin with Visual Studio 2017. My organization has its own domain base TFS server, Now I need to configure that server to my Visual Studio 2017 Mac version projects.
I found the Visual Studio code is capable to connect the TFS, but it's connecting the Visualstudio.com server, I need to connect to the server which is my organization.
For visual studio Mac, TFS isn't supported for now. There has been a uservocie, you can vote up and monitor it.
TFS Version Control

However as a workaround, you could use Visual Studio Code to connect on-premise
TFS server.
TFVC
You can connect to TFVC using the Visual Studio Team Services extension since version 1.116.0 (2017/04/12). This extension allows you to connect to Team Services and Team Foundation Server.
Note: You need Team Foundation Server 2015 Update 2 or later.

I am using Visual Studio 2012 to work on my ASP.NET Projects.
Currently, I am trying to add my projects to Source Control preferably Team Foundation Server.
Installed TFS 2015 on a server and tried connecting from Visual studio 2012 to add a team project, which is not successful. Please let me know which version of tfs is compatible with VS2012 and details would be appreciated.
I was trying to get TFS 2012 but I got a response from the technical support that 'Based on the search results, the only versions available on the VLSC site are 2013 and 2015.' The techical support person from my workplace was trying to download TFS 2012 as per my request for me to work on the set up.
Please provide any help links available.I haven't done anything on the admin side and this confuses me a lot.
Thanks in advance!
TFS 2015 requires latest Visual Studio 2012 update. Supports Git with Visual Studio Tools for Git extension.

Based on your comments, you're trying to create a new team project in TFS 2015.
In order to create a Team Project, you need to be using the same version of Visual Studio as you're using TFS. So, to create a team project in TFS 2015, you need to use Visual Studio 2015. This can be done from VS2015 Community or Team Explorer 2015.
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.
I install TFS 2012 and I have visual studio 2010. I already create team collection but I can't create team project. Error message {you don't have permission create team project} but I give all permission to current user.
Some of the Administration activities will not work when you are using lower version of Team Explorer client. You need to install Team Explorer 2012 or Visual Studio 2012 to create new team projects.
