I wann to Upgrade from TFS 2013 to Azure DevOps Server 2019. I am unable to uninstall the old one, the only thing i can do is to unconfigure the Application Server. But then the installer tells me that an installation is not possible without uninstalling the TFS 2013.
You can uninstall TFS 2013 from the Control Panel, go to Control Panel->Programs and Features->Uninstall a program.
Before go to control panel to uninstall, you need to remove the configured Extensions(eg. SharePoint Extensions), go to Team Foundation Administration Console->Extensions for SharePoint Products.

We have upgraded our TFS server Azure DevOps Server 2019. I am having some issues getting my 2015 XAML build server connected to the new URL. I need to completely uninstall the 2015 XAML build server so that no settings are left and pre-populated when I restart the install. Doing an uninstall of Team Foundation Server from Control panel does not seem to do it. What else do I need to clear out after the uninstall?
I'm unable to connect TFS 2008 URL from VS2017; Is there any patch or providers needs to be installed
Googled alot about msscci provider,
but there isn't anything specific for 2017!
I keep a blogpost with the most up-to-date information on which versions of Visual Studio connect to what and which things you need to have installed. TFS 2008 has been out of support for a while now (April 2018) and Visual Studio 2017 can't connect to it anymore as a result. Team Explorer 2010 is the last version that officially supports connecting to this old TFS version.
In order to work with TFS 2008, you need Team Explorer 2010 or lower installed and use that for your interactions with TFS 2008. This does mean that you won't have any working Team Explorer or Source control integration in the Solution Explorer.
It's highly recommended to upgrade TFS 2008 to TFS 2018 or the soon to be released Azure DevOps Server 2019. Or, take away the maintenance burden of having to run your own servers, by migrating to Azure DevOps in the cloud. The process to migrate does require an intermediate upgrade to TFS 2018 though, so I'd start with that regardless.
What to download and install for:
Team Explorer 2010
Correct TE 2010 download location
Team Explorer 2008
I'm trying to import modified WITs to a existing project. But, It was showing the below error:
Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Server.ProvisioningImportEventsCallback
Earlier it was working fine. But, now the issue started.
What could be the possible solution for this? I just wanted to upload WITs through Command prompt(witadmin.exe) only. Any hints/information would help
From your description, you are trying to use VS 2015 to connect to TFS 2017. Please check documentation Import, export, and manage work item types:
If you are connecting to TFS, you must use the same version of Visual
Studio or Team Explorer as TFS. For example, if you connect to a TFS
2017 instance, you must connect from Visual Studio 2017 or Team
Explorer 2017.
TFS 2018 and TFS 2017
Visual Studio 2017 or Team Explorer 2017 client:
%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer
or, TeamExplorer, Professional or Enterprise in place of
Community, depending on the version you've installed.
You should install VS 2017 or Team Explorer 2017 to run this command. Although VS 2015 could run witadmin command against TFS 2017 sometimes, there would have unexpected issue.
However, I found the solution for this issue by myself.
Clear the Team Foundation cache from your server and the user system from the below path:
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\7.0 (or 6.0)\cache
Delete everything from the cache folder and restart the server\system. Then Login to the server. Now, you won't get any error for uploading [WITs] using command prompt.
Follow the procedures as given in Microsoft Site.

We've got a server with TFS2008 that we do all our builds on. I need to get an install of TFS2010 running. Can I run it on the same server (windows 2003) or do I need it on a seperate one?
This is not possible.
The exact question was asked before in the MSDN Forum and you can read all the answers here.
As Arun said TFS 2010 installer checks
if previous version of TFS is
installed on the computer and will not
let you install TFS 2010 if previous
version is detected.
There are many reasons why it is not possible to
install TFS 2008 and TFS 2010 side by
side. One of them is the fact that
both are creating an IIS web site with
the same name - "Team Foundation
Server".

I am installing TFS 2010, and it does not install SQL and sharepoint automatically. I am assuming I need to manually install this.
Do I need a serpeate license ontop of the TFS license?
TFS 2010 gives you a license to SQL Server 2008 Standard edition for the sole purpose of using it as a TFS Database. The database must also be installed on the same server as TFS application tier. This is explained in detail in the Visual Studio 2010 licensing whitepaper.
It is best to install SQL Server and Sharepoint (Foundation or MOSS) before you start TFS install and then TFS can be configured to use this in post-install steps. The TFS installation guide is extremely useful. I have just gone through this process myself.
