I am an administrator on TFS. If I am in the office (connected to the domain directly) I can change the build definition easily, but when I use VPN it says "Downloading Custom Assemblies" and never finishes downloading. What is the problem with that? Does anybody encounter this issue?
Is it the same machine? If not make sure you have upgraded VS 2013 to at least update 2, I've seen this problem with vanilla VS 2013 installations.
If it is the same machine you could try adding the URL for the TFS server to the trusted sites in your internet options.
If that doesn't work then it's probably a proxy server preventing the download of binary files. You need to speak to your network team and ask them for some help

I want to connect to TFS through the Team Explorer in Visual Studio 2015.
So, my problem is that I cannot connect because of a wrong authentication (valid username and password, valid privileges).
I think the reason for that is the Domain but I never joined one because I use a normal version of Windows 10 Enterprise. Could it depend on installed features like WCF? I did really intensive research but I'm not able to find any information to solve my problem.
Here is a screenshot of the Login-Dialog:
On premise TFS only supports Windows auth (either local or domain).
If your TFS server and VS are installed on the same machine, you could use your local account with enough permission to connect TFS server directly.
If your TFS server and VS are installed on the different machine, and since you haven't joined domain. Suggest you to join domain : This is the easiest to setup, user-wise. All you have to do is be a member of the domain and a member in a team project. Another option is using Visual Studio Team Service (TFS in the cloud) for this. It's currently free and uses Microsoft live accounts instead. Which you can access it everywhere on the internet.
First I want to thank you for your support.
I'm sorry that this comes late but I already solved my problem.
I obviously just forgot to put a Backslash in front of my username so that I don't use the domain of my local computer.
I've found quite a few posts of similar issues, but I still am having trouble getting this resolved.
I have a TFS repository I know I have access to with my Microsoft account. I'm currently using it on my laptop as I'm typing this, and if I go there via chrome, I am having no issues.
I finally got my desktop up and running again, and after a fresh windows/VS 2013 install, I am getting unauthorized when trying to connect to team projects. I'm using the same credentials that are being using through Visual Studio on my laptop, and in chrome.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
Please use below ways to narrow down the issue.
Try to disable the Antivirus software on your desktop
Try to disable your firewall on your desktop and try again
If you are using VPN on your desktop, please disable it.
Clear TFS and VS cache in your desktop.
Clear the account info from the Credential Manager (Control Panel) both in
your laptop and desktop, then try it again.
Team -> Manage Connexions... -> re-select your project
Close Visual Studio > Reboot all servers in the Topology.
I have Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 and SharePoint Designer installed on my local machine. I have a SharePoint installed on a server farm that i have full read and write permissions on. My problem is when i try to create the project the wizard to connect to the SharePoint will not show up and it says i need it installed on my local machine. I have read many forums posts such as

along with others these are just the ones still open in my browser. I would love some help or a proper tutorial because the ones i am finding are no help and im not seeing anything besides a error message saying i cannot create a project until i install foundation or server for sharepoint
This is a case where the error message means exactly what it says. You must install SharePoint on your development machine in order to use Visual Studio for local SharePoint development. You can develop on Windows Server 2008/2013 (most common solution I've seen), install SharePoint on your Windows 7/8 machine (which is painful to do but possible), or set up a remote environment for development after signing up for an Office 365 Developer Site.
After hours of searching I found a work around for anyone who is running into this problem... You need to make a web reference to the SharePoint site then you can access the XML and do it that way. Microsoft hides the option its under service reference then you click web reference add the URL and a easily called name add it and your good to go.
Please help me with my noobish problem
I have laptop at home. I installed MS Windows Server 8 Beta on it, Visual Studio 11 Beta and MS Team Foundation Server 11 only for version control of my application, which I want to change at home (where my laptop-server is) and at work (where my another Visual Studio 11 Beta is).
So my major problem is that I can't easily expose my [home] TFS Server on Internet that I can see it from my work computer :(
I installed TFS Proxy, which generated a proxy URL for me like this: http://win-jnkseeeq4rl:8081/ (which works on LAN)
But of course, I can't get it to work on another (work) computer through Internet, because it doesn't resolve this kind of host.
At home I've got WiFi-router through which my laptop connected.
I think I must expose some ports on it, but I don't know how and is this a main problem really.
Thank you everyone for answers!!!
I run a TFS at home to support my consulting and have setup Remote Access Services using the PPTP protocol to run my inbound VPN. You generally just have to enable PPTP passthrough (GRE protocol) and forward TCP/1723 to your RAS server.
I also use Dynamic DNS to help find my public IP if it ever changes.
But I have to be honest, have you considered just using the TFSPreview.com service instead? I haven't switched over completely yet because I've already built my infrastructure and it's still a beta service but I could see myself doing it in the future.
Have you looked at the walkthrough here => http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb668967.aspx
There is a similar question here, How to access VS 2010 TFS over the internet from remote office
My company is interested in better integrating our investment in VMWare with our TFS deployment. Currently the company is running TFS2005 SP1, VS2010, and we have a sizeable SAN that we would like to use in environment reproduction similar to what is offered in TFS2010 Lab Management.
Of the features offered by TFS2005, we are currently leveraging only TF Version Control--work items and build automation are handled by separate systems. However, we would like to use the TFS-integrated Symbol/Source server in order to accurately debug the different versions of our product, and that's where we're running into difficulty.
The VMs deployed in VMWare are not joined to the corporate domain, and this means that we run into difficulty when attemping to grab source code information via Source Server and the "tf.exe view" command.
If devenv is run on the VM, it can't authenticate a domain account, and tf.exe view fails when grabbing source info.
If devenv is run on the developer desktop and debugging is done with remote debugger, the vm's local user account fails to access the share exposed by Symbol Server and can't load symbols to begin with, much less retrieve source.
Has anyone done this before?
Yes - You can still do this. If you are using Windows 7 (and I believe Windows Vista) you can always add the domain credentials to the "Credentials Manager" in the Control Panel. This will help it authenticate for the TFS URL whenever it needs to talk to TFS.
BTW, I have a blog post discussing the Symbol Server and Source Server features of TFS 2010 available here: http://bit.ly/SymbolServerTFS
