Is it possible to connect Visual Studio 2017 to a Team Foundation Server 2005 SP1? Version of microsoft.teamfoundation.server.dll = 8.0.50727.762
I tried to connect with http://servername:8080/ (by using the server url servername//) and with http://servername:8080/tfs (by using server url servername)
Both give an error TF31002: Unable to connect. The remote server returned an error 404.
Using Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 the connection goes without a problem.
I can't find a compatibility overview of Visual Studio / possible TFS versions.
It might be possible but is not a supported scenario according to TFS Requirements and compatibility, see section about Client compatibility where Team Foundation Server 2008 is the oldest mentioned as supported partly/fully by Visual Studio 2005-2017.

I was watching tutorial about connecting Visual Studio with Firebird database server.
But the next step is the problem. I can't find Provider for Firebird:
Any suggestions?
I have a small issue that is driving me crazy.
I'm trying to install TFS 2015 on a VM with Windows Server 2012 R2 and SQL SERVER 2016.
Everything is ok but my on Analysis Services Settings I get an error.
TF400069: When your configuration includes Reporting features on a
remote machine, you must install the "Client Tools Connectivity"
feature from SQL Server.
As you can see on the following screenshot "Client Tools Connectivity" is installed.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
Please check the TFS requirements and compatibility, the supported SQL Server version is:
SQL Server 2014
SQL Server 2012 (minimum SP1)
SQL Server 2016 is not in the list yet. You need to use compatible SQL Server version.
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.
i was able to install tfs 2010 on window server 2008 and through team explorer in visual studio 2010 the server came right up no problems. However when i installed it on vista ultimate - first the options were slightly different to install but the wizards worked fine but when i tried to access the url on team explore in visual studio 2010 - i constantly get
500 error. I also noticed the window server 2008 hat "nt authority\network service" which
tfs uses, however window vista sp2 only has "nt authority\local service". (i even tried
to simulate this account on vista in a similar fashion as window server 2008 but to no avail)
Please help. p.s. this is on x86 version of the software.
HELP, HELP, HELP.
A Google search turned up this, where someone was having a similar issue.
I haven't seen anything that says SQL Express 2005 is not supported for use with Team Foundation Server 2005.
However, when I attempt the installation I get all sorts of errors "SQL Agent service not installed", "SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services service is not installed", etc.
Is SQL Server Standard or higher, required?
Yes, SQL Server Standard or higher is required for current versions of TFS. When you purchase a full copy of Team Foundation Server it comes with a restricted use SQL Standard Edition license under the following terms:
You may only use the SQL Server
software with Visual Studio Team
Foundation Server; you may not use
it for any other purpose.
You may
only install SQL Server on one
physical device per Visual Studio
Team Foundation Server license.
Try SQL Server Express Advanced edition ... ( I don't remember if it has analysis services)
Analysis services are required to generate reports. Also after installation of 2005 remember to start SQL Agent service.
