I have my project already added to the online TFS server of Visual Studio. Now I want to unbind the project from the online TFS server. I have already tried unbinding the Project from the advanced options of Source control.
When I try to add the project to the source control after unbinding, the server name of the TFS remains the online TFS server. How can i change the name of the TFS server?
I have tried most solutions given on SO and internet. But nothing could help me to change the name of the tfs server
You didn’t completely remove TFS Bindings.
There is a tool to remove Source Control Bindings from Visual Studio Solutions and Projects from msdn: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/saveenr/archive/2012/08/11/a-tool-to-remove-source-control-bindings-from-visual-studio-solutions-and-projects.aspx
More ways and more information for you reference: How can I completely remove TFS Bindings
Moreover, If the online TFS mean Visual Studio Team Services(VSonline), to change your server name(server account), please refer this link Change Visual Studio Team Services account owner from MSDN.

I just created visual studio online account and selected the option of Git instead of TFS. But i want to change it to TFS after creating it.There must be some option of settings and configuration to modify that setting but could not found it. Can anyone please help me on that. Please note that i've not yet created any visual studio project.
Thanks,
Khurram.
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.
We have a project source-controlled by local TFS installation (both are 2013 version).
The scenario that we want to accomplish is:
Developers located in the company use the local TFS as usual.
When they finish they check-in the code to the local TFs and Visual Studio Online.
Developers working from outside the company, get latest from the Visual studio Online.
When they finish, they check-in the changes back to Visual Studio Online.
The target is to have local and online code repositories that can be synchronized either manually or automatically. Is this possible using Visual Studio Online? If not, are there any workaround to achieve this scenario?
You can synchronise the work using the TFS Integration Tools. They are complicated to setup and will be painfull to run. There are commercial options that are ridiculously expensive, like OpsHub, and I would suggest you just pick a server.
Either have your local server with remote users on VPN, or have a VSO server that everyone accesses. I would recommend VSO with local Build servers.

It is about vs2010 but i guess the second answer is for you.
I have problem with bad url to TFS 2010 server in Visual Studio.
First I have TFS 2010 on machine zeus... TFS url was zeus:8080\tfs
Then changed location, now is TFS on machine hades...TFS url is now hades:8080\tfs
In visual studio I changed source control to hades:8080\tfs.
Then I created Team project in Team collection.
When I am trying add some solution to source control Visual Studio still use old TFS url (zeus:8080\tfs).
I don't know how can I change it. I search in Visual Studio some settings when I can configure TFS url.
But actually I am connected with good TFS url. I can add Team project to TFS collection but when I am trying add solution Visual Studio use old URL.
Any advice.
Did you try to clear your cache?
Did you follow the steps in the MSDN article: Move Team Foundation Server from One Hardware Configuration to Another?
I have setup teamcity in the past with Subversion, no problem. I have never used TFS before. We have TFS 2010 running and I can connect to via Visual Studio 2010. How do I find the URL for TeamCity? I am using TeamCity 6.
You can find the configured TFS URL from within Visual Studio by picking View -> Team Explorer, then looking at the top node. (I'm assuming for a second that you have only one TFS server set up; otherwise, there should be multiple top-level nodes.)
If you right-click on it and pick Properties, it will show you the full URL including protocol and port.
This is for Visual Studio 2008, but I'm pretty sure it's the same in 2010.
