I want to login to a remote TFS server from my Windows 7 PC.
I have team explorer 2010 and all the necessary tools installed to connect.
I can connect when I use the credentials from FIREFOX or IE (or any browser).
When I connect from VS 2010, I get the following error:

My guess is that the domain name needs to be changed from my PC's name: "MANISH-PC"
Please suggest a way to login to the TFS server from my PC!
You can to try adding the correct credentials to "Manage Windows Credentials" in windows 7: http://www.ewaldhofman.nl/post/2009/05/21/Automatically-connect-to-TFS-under-another-user-account.aspx

I'm trying to connect Visual Studio 2013 to TFS 2013 from a different machine, but it's giving me error:
(TF31002: Unable to connect to this Team Foundation Server).
The Server's IP is working, so the server is online, I've tried things such as turning off Firewall, starting VS as Administrator and it doesn't seem to work.
It's the first time I'm working with TFS, am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.
Try connecting via telnet, e.g telnet yourserver 8080 at the command prompt: this checks if the client has TCP/IP connectivity. Telnet client is not installed by default in Windows, so you may have to turn the corresponding Windows Feature on.
If previous check passes, open the Home page in a browser, e.g. http://yourserver:8080/tfs. If the browser is not configured for Integrated authentication, you will receive a prompt for credential. Insert a valid user and the home page should appear.
Consider which credential you are using: if TFS server is in workgroup, use an account defined on the TFS server; if TFS server is joined to Active Directory, use an account from the same domain. In any case the account must be part of TFS Valid Users group.
I've looked through existing Stack Overflow questions and haven't found anything that matches my situation.
I'm running TFS 2008 and am unable to connect using Team Explorer in Visual Studio 2010 (error message TF31003: Either you have not entered the necessary credentials or your user account does not have permission to connect to the TFS server at servername).
I am authenticating via a domain account and have confirmed that other TFS users cannot access the server with their credentials either. I have Team Foundation Web System set up on the same server and the same users can log in without problems. That tells me that the server is up and the data is accessible, just not via Visual Studio. I've also checked firewall states -- completely disabling all firewalls (my machine and the server) has no effect.
Is there something obvious I'm missing about why Visual Studio won't authenticate users? (Yes, I've tried restarting my development machine and the TFS server.)
SOLVED: Turns out the people not being able to access TFS via VS2010 were using laptops, I didn't put two and two together, and Symantec Endpoint was blocking the ports required.
Some users cannot get to the TFS 2010 server, secured by SSL, from team explorer but can via IE.
For example, I go into VS2010 SP1 and attempt to add a new server, it sits there for a while and then spits out a dialog that basically tells me "Unable to connect to the remote server". If I enter the exact same URL into IE I get access perfectly.
So
https://tfserver:8088/tfs (custom SSL port number) in IE and I get full access
The same detail entered into the add server results in
Any ideas?
Connect to tfspreview through VS2010, you need to install following things :

I'm trying to set up a remote debugger connection from my dev box on a domain to a web server (SERVER) in a workgroup with no success and I'm hoping for the some insight.
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Unable to connect to the Microsoft Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor
named 'SERVER'. The Microsoft Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor
(MSVSMON.EXE) does not appear to be running on the remote computer. Please see
Help for assistance.
At this point, I have done the following:
I've installed the x64 debugging components, but not as a service. The monitor is up and running.
I've created an account on the workgroup machine to match my domain account in name and password.
I've granted this account the "Debug programs" right in Local Security Policy.
I've added this account the "Administrators" group.
Still I get the same error message.
Any suggestions?
You also need to create a local account on your dev box with the same name and password as your domain account.
This account just needs to exist - you don't need to run VS with it.
I am trying to set up remote debugging from my development machine into a production environment running in a virtual machine, but no matter what I do I get the following error:
Unable to connect to the Microsoft
Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor
named . The
Visual Studio Remote Debugger on the
target computer cannot connect back to
this computer. Authentication failed.
Please see Help for assistance.
This is my setup:
Host Machine:
Windows 7 Professional x86
Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate
Virtual Machine:
Windows 7 Professional x86
Both computers are on the same domain, with the same username and password. The firewall on the remote computer is turned off and the firewall on the host is on, but turning it off produces the same error. The accounts on both machines are members of the Administrators group and running both msvsmon and visual studio as administrator or either/or produces the same result. When I put the server name in the qualifier field in "attach to process" and click refresh, I can see the log on the remote machine saying that the host is connected but that is followed immediately by the above error. Lastly, and this may be the most important piece of information, when the authentication fails, I get an entry in the even log that states that a user account was locked out:
A user account was locked out.
Subject:
Security ID: SYSTEM
Account Name: MyHostComputerName$
Account Domain:
DomainWhichBothMachinesAreOn
Logon ID: 0x3e7
Account that was locked out:
Security ID:
MyHostComputerName \ MyUsername
*(which is identical on both machines)* Account Name:
MyUserName
Additional Information:
Caller
Computer Name: MyVirtualMachineName
I have read seemingly every tutorial, help ticket and random bit of information regarding this problem and remote debugging in general and tried just about every "quick fix". I would be very appreciative of any ideas. I can provide any additional information if needed. Thanks in advance.
"MyHostComputerName \ MyUsername" seems to indicate the VM service is trying to authenticate with a local user, not the domain user
have you created the same user & password as local accounts on both systems?

I had this same problem running VS 2010 Pro on Windows 7 Pro accessing Remote Debugger 2010 on Windows 2008 R2. I had created identical accounts on the server running the debugger and on my domain. I was running under my identical accounts both visual studio and remote debugger with administrator rights and with the firewall turned off. on both systems.
the error I got was "... the visual studio remote debugger on the target computer cannot connect back to this computer ..." I found this issue with both VS 2010 and VS 2005 so I knew it was an issue with my system
SOLUTION - add a local user account to your system running visual studio as a domain account won't work (you can run visual studio under the domain account, you just need the local account to be present with admin rights assigned).
I know this answer is for an old thread but there are a number of threads out there on this issue with no solution.
Go to target computer (that you want to debug remotely), open windows explorer and visit computer from which you are debugging. It will prompt for username password. Enter credentials for account that exist on both computers and has relevant permission. After it authenticates you will be able to use remote debugger.
My config was BOTH COMPUTERS IN WORKGROUP.
In my case when adding mu local computers credentials to remote host problem solved.
The credential is the workaround for the case when you have a "domain admin computer with vs studio" machine trying to remote debug a "non domain admin computer" machine from different domains.
