I have a private Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (Version 15.117) running in my network.
When I look at the history of a Git project (like https://tfs.local/tfs/»Collection«/»Project«/_git/»Repository«/history?_a=history) in the author column there are avatars shown.
TFS automatically(?) retrieves authors Gravatar image through URL https://tfs.local/tfs/»Collection«/»Project«/_api/_common/IdentityImage?id=&email=»none%4example.net«%3E&defaultGravatar=mm&__v=5 that 302 Found redirects to https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/»md5-hash«
With this behaviour, Gravatar (and possible entities in between) know my project and repository names, which is not acceptable.
How can I prevent the webinterface to display Gravatar (and other 3rd party) images? Locally upladed images are okay.
(Visual Studio 2013 GitHub avatar not being displayed is not related as this is a setting for Visual Studio and "Enable 3rd party source" already is un-ticked)
There is no such setting in TFS to prevent TFS from showing images. I've submitted a uservoice at website below, you could vote it:

In solution explorer new Team option is also not visible
TF206018: The items could not be added to source control because either no team projects have been set up, or because you do not have permission to access any of the team projects in the current collection.
This is a known issue. Please find more detailed information in this ticket: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/690875/cannot-create-a-new-team-project-from-within-the-t.html.
According to the workaround from the product group, please use the "New Project" button on the home page of the org / collection in the web experience.
If you are using an older version of TFS that does not have this option available in the web, you will need to install an older version of Visual Studio that has that option available.
Visual Studio Team Explorer 2017 is a great option. It is free, installs side by side with VS 2019, has minimal footprint, and installs in less than 5 minutes. Download page is here.

We have upgraded TFS2008 to 2013 on a new server and source control/workitem tracking is okay - we can use all that from within VS2013 Pro.
We have also upgraded Sharepoint (containing all the project documentation) to a new database server and using the TFS 2013 Adminisration Console we can see the Team Projects listed there.
However although from the VS2013 Team Exlorer we can add the team projects and open the 'web portal' for each team project, we cannot see any of the documents nor can we (seemingly) view in a browser the portal that in VS2008 shows the document libraries.
Are we missing something in the unfamiliar interface, or can anyone advise what the cause might be and how to fix it?
You need to "wire up" the Team Projects to the Sharepoint sites. It sounds like they have been detached through the order of the upgrade.
Sharepoint needs to be upgraded and available during the upgrade process or this happens
You can however easily wire them back up. In the Team Project in Visual Studio go to the Team Explorer and do "Settings|Portal".
You should have a dialog for wiring up The existing Sharepoint to the Team Project.
If you don't you may have Tbeen disconnected at the collection level. In which case you can open the TFS Administration Console and follow: http://nakedalm.com/integrate-sharepoint-2013-with-team-foundation-server-2013/
I know it is possible to drag and drop files or for example mails from Outlook to Attachement tab in VS (if VS was started as Administrator Outlook should also run under this account).
But I was not able to find out if this is also possible with web Access...I tried but it was not successfull. I could drag and drop an email to a text box (text is added) but not to attachment control...is this not possible?! We are running TFS 2015 as on premise.
Greetings,
Daniel.
This doesn't appear to be implemented yet in Visual Studio Online, so I can't think it would be in any of the on premises versions of TFS.
I've just tried in Edge and you get an overlay on the image showing it's not allowed:
You could suggest this on the Visual Studio User Voice or ask Aaron Bjork who's the Program Manager for Work Item tracking.
I have recently setup TFS 2010 and am trying to access the reporting feature. TFS is installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 and I am accessing TFS using Visual Studio 2010.
From what I have seen on the web, I should have a reports option in Team Explorer or from the Team menu in Visual Studio. I don't have this option at all. I have seen MSDN articles saying the option may have a red cross next to it, but I don't see at all.
From the TFS Admin console, reporting seems to be setup. All three options (Warehouse, Analysis Services and Report Server) have a green tick and say "Configured".
If I access the reports URL, I get a web interface but there are no out-of-the-box reports.
Thanks in advance for your help.
The problem was that the default reports folder location had not been set. I only noticed by clicking through all the screens in desperation.
Open the TFS Admin Console, go to Application Tier > Team Project Collections. Then in the Reports Folder tab at the bottom make sure you have set a value. I just used the default example which was /TfsReports/DefaultCollection.
You don't see the folder "Reports" in this view?
Do you have a screen like this?
I'm looking for a way to add work items into tfs from the project portal that it creates. Basically we want our helpdesk to be to raise workitems inside of tfs, so we can then track the build etc that there fixed in.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Microsoft released the Visual Studio Team System Web Access 2008 Power Tool.
Base download
Service pack 1
Team System Web Access SP1 lets you do all the things you can do in Visual Studio in your browser. You can view, create, and edit work items, associate work items with each other and with changesetsand view source, diffs, changeset contents, and branches.
SP1 also includes what was once called TFS Work Item Web Access. Work Item Web Access lets users without TFS licenses submit and view work items through the browser.
With a little SharePoint magic you should be able to frame Team System Web Access within your existing team sites.
