Change Team Foundation Server 2018 Website Settings - tfs

I've installed TFS 2018 in a machine.
In the installation wizard I had some options regarding the "Web Site Settings".
After the installation how can I change those settings? I need to change the Site Bindings.
Can you tell me how to do that please?

If you need to change site bindings after your installation, you should start up your IIS-manager on the machine you have installed it on.
Team Foundation Server 2018 has created a site on that, so you can change your site bindings on the site.

Microsoft added support to create virtual directories and virtual applications in version 2 (PreView) of the task. And it is working.

TFS 2017 Extranet Support

Is there a document on how to enable extranet access to TFS 2017? I have a VPS that I use and want to enable external access to TFS 2017 that is installed on this VPS.
Thank you
You can try below methods:
Maintain a connection between the client and the server by using a
VPN if you have to access Team Foundation Server from outside the
local intranet.
Through a Reverse Proxy
Locating TFS in an Extranet
Please refer to Chapter 17 – Providing Internet Access to Team Foundation Server for details. It's still available for TFS 2017 even though it's an old document.

TFS31002: Unable to connect to this Team Foundation Server

We just upgraded our TFS 2013 to TFS 2015. We use VS2015 to communicate with it(we were already using it with our TFS2013). The server was not available during the time our IT made the upgrade.
After the ugprade, everybody started to work again with the server but I was seing it as Offline and I finally decided to remove the server and add it again.
When I add it again(200% sure of all the settings), I get this error:
I finally tried to do the same on our "old" installation of Visual Studio 2013(same computer, same account), and it works. I was at least capable to commit all my changes to the server.
I tried to go on the portal and click on `Open in Visual Studio", and I got another error(TFS400324):
Now I'm trying to regain access to TFS2015 with my VS2015. I can access the web portal.
Here is what I tried after some research:
Do a Repair of Visual Studio 2015
Check that I've no weird proxy
Check that there is no available update(already at VS2015 UPD 1)
Clear the cache of all my Internet explorer
Cleared %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Team Foundation\*.*\Cache
Run VS2015 in admin
Disable my antivirus
Delete registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VSCommon\*.*\ClientServices\TokenStorage
Check that I've no proxy declared in: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v*.*\Config\machine.config
I did a windows update.
I ran the command devenv.exe /resetuserdata
Any clue what is happening and how to solve it?
VS 2013 can connect to TFS 2015, but VS 2015 can't. So the issue is on client side. Try on another client machine to connect TFS 2015 with VS 2015 to check the result.
Clean the client cache: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\5.0\Cache and C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\6.0\Cache. Make sure both 5.0 and 6.0 folder are cleaned.
Clean server cache on AT machine: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 12.0\Application Tier\Web Services_tfs_data, and C:\TfsData\ApplicationTier_fileCache
Remove all credentials in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Credential Manager.
Remove TFS server in Team Explorer: go to Manage Connections--Connect to Team Project--Servers, select TFS 2015, remove it and add it.
Connect TFS 2015 with it's IP address, not server name.
This answer will not please to anybody coming here for an answer, but I had to format my computer and do a whole clean install on it.
A little trick might help.
Change port 8080 to another port. I've changed to port 5000
I hope to be useful.

Team Foundation Service not available (TFS2008)

We have had an automatic Active Directory/Windows password change thrust upon us, and consequently our TFS2008 build server has broken. I have changed the password for the TFSERVICE account it runs under, and updated the Visual Studio Team Foundation Task Scheduler Service to use the correct password, and checked that the underlying Sql Server is running okay. However attempts to connect to TFS are now met with the message '..HTO Status 503: Service unavailable'.
What else needs to be started to get this up and running again?
You need to always change the password using the tools in the box. You can use the TFS Administration Console that you can launch from the start menu. Or you can use the tfsconfig.exe located in the TFS install folder.
This applies to all versions of TFS from 2010 on.
If you have TFS 2008/2005 you will need to use the tfsadminutil command: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb552178(v=vs.90).aspx
Note: You need to upgrade your TFS server as soon as possible. Both the OS, SQL, and TFS pre-2010 is not well supported.

SQL Server Edition included with Team Foundation Server 2013

I am trying to determine what SQL Server edition will be installed with Team Foundation Server 2013 if it is installed on Windows Server 2012 R2 using the Standard Configuration. The install guide is vague about this. Will it be Express or Standard? It appears to be different than with TFS 2012.
You can use the basic configuration of Team Foundation Server, automatically with SQL Server Express SP1.
or install manually other versions.
link : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/dd631889.aspx
Only the Basic Configuration of TFS 2013 automatically installs SQL Server and it installs the Express version. This from:
Sql Server Requirements
From the same article: You can pre-install one of the supported editions Sql2012.sp1+ or Sql2014
During installation, you are required to select a configuration (basic, standard etc). If you choose standard and the installer can't find an existing SQL Server instance you can not proceed.
