I can login to TFS ( now called visual studio online 2013 ) from my existing machine. Recently I got a new machine. I am trying to connect from this machine for the first time. I get "Unable to connect to the remote server" error. I think my port number may be incorrect.
What command can I issue on my working computer to know the correct port number used? ( I have tried 8080 already).
I am using "team" -> "connect to team foundation server" and then adding server.
You have to install Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Team Foundation Server Compatibility GDR (and don't forget to install SP1 first)
Then just specify your VSO account URL in the Connect dialog e.g. https://testaccount.visualstudio.com/
You don't need to add a port number, it should work without it

I have tried to install service pack1 as well as team foundation server with GDR compatibility on Visual Studio 2010 but still when I try to connect to dev.azure.com it throws error unable to find TFS server Can somebody please suggest how to resolve this issue.
Double check you have installed the following two software updates for VS 2010:
Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 (KB2736182)
TFS 2012 compatibility update for Visual Studio 2010 (KB2662296)
And try to clear the cache folder on your client machine. The folder path is: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\x.0\Cache. Make sure you type the correct server URL.
If the issue persists, you could add some screenshots of how you connected the server.
I want to be able to connect to Team Server 2008 r2 to the Visual Studio.net 2012 that I installed on my workstation today. So far I am having problems.
I am making this change since I want to upgrade all my .net applications to using Visual Studio 2012.
Right now all my solution files have TFS attached to them since I loaded the solution files into TFS previously using Visual Studio 2010.
I have downloaded the plugin for Team server to install on my computer and I am advised that the plugin is installed on my computer. When I am in visual studio 2012 and I click on toos-->options-->source control and I get no options to select.
Thus can you tell me what you suggest that I do to solve my problem?
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.
More details please take a look at my reply at this question: Connect VS code with TFS on mac
Here is an alternate way of doing the same.It is working fine for me
How to use TFS on a Mac
Steps to be followed:
Step 1: Install Eclipse
Step 2: Download and install the TFS everywhere plugin
Step 3: Checkout your solution using the eclipse to a local folder
Step 4: Open the solution in Visual studio and make the code changes
Step 5: Open eclipse and commit your changes.
I'm using TFS Server 2013 en Visual Studio 2013. I want to make the TFS Server available via the internet so that (only) certain developers/ipaddresses can work at home.
My question is: What port does TFS Server use to connect to Visual studio? In other words: What port must I open/forward in my firewall for this to work?
There is no communication from TFS to Visual Studio as all traffic flows the other way.
Visual Studio connects with 8080 by default and 443 if secured.
I would however recommend that you leave everything to Visual studio online (http://tfs.visualstudio.com) as It is already secured and does not need any firewalls to be opened.
I am trying to connect to my TFS 2010 RC server. When I try to connect I get a error message.
Here is a screen shot:

This is the path I am using to connect: http://tfs2010test:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection
I have Team Explorer 2008 SP 1 installed.
I have read this question: Visual Studio 2008: Can't connect to known good TFS 2010. That is how I got my path that I tried.
I can connect just fine using Visual Studio 2010.
What am I missing?
Have you installed the forward compatibility update from here? Further details can be found here.
Here was my solution to get Visual Studio 2008 Team System to connect to TFS2010: (Beware convoluted).
Install Visual Studio 2008 Team Explorer
Uninstall Office 2007 (because of an incompatibility between Visual Studio 2008 SP1 installer and Office 2007)
Run the Microsoft Install Clean Up utility to remove all references to Office 2007 that did not get removed when uninstalling)
Re-Install Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1
Install Visual Studio Team System 2008 Service Pack 1 Forward Compatibility Update for Team Foundation Server 2010
Reinstall Office 2007 or go to OpenOffice
Access TFS2010 repository...
When I have added TFS servers before, I could not add the port in the URL. Have you tried this without the port, and allow discovery?
A few things to try:
Have you tried connecting with Team Explorer 2010?
Have you tried creating a new project collection?
On your server, open the TFS admin tool and confirm that you have permissions to use that collection.
Be aware, some options are just not available in Team Explorer 2008.
Let me know if you need help with the security/groups on the server. It was very confusing to me when I first tried to work with it.
