I installed the Team Foundation server 2017 on my PC. But unable to add another member to a team.
Should I install the Team foundation server on server computer?
TFS can be installed both on a Windows server or client operating system. Note: TFS 2017 only supports 64-bit operating systems.
While TFS supports installation on client OSes, we don't recommend
this except for evaluation purposes or personal use. TFS installations
on client OSes don't support integration with SharePoint products or
reporting. The TFS proxy can't be installed on client OSes. If you
need to use any of these features, install TFS on a server OS.
More details please refer the Requirements and compatibility doc.
To add another member to a team, for TFS, the first time you add an account you must enter the full domain name and the alias. Take a look at this tutorial: Add team members.

Recently we have upgraded our TFS server to the latest 2019 version.
As the Admin, I was trying to install the downloaded Test Manager extension just like we did in TFS2017 and TFS2018.
However, I was unable to install it even with full access and TFS test plan subscription.
This extension does not support the version of the Server you are
currently using. See Works With for supported Server versions.
What should I do, am I missing something? Why it not work with TFS2019? Appreciate your help.
This is the expected behavior when you try to install the extension in Azure DevOps Server 2019. You do not need to install extra Test Manger for Azure DevOps Server 2019.
The official link is also clearly: This extension does not support the version of the Server you are currently using. See Works With for supported Server versions.
It only work Works with
Team Foundation Server 2017
Team Foundation Server 2018
Note:
Manual testers do not need this extension and can execute tests as a
Basic user in an Azure DevOps organization/collection. Read more on
this here.
This extension is available out-of-the-box in Azure DevOps Services and Azure DevOps Server (2019 onwards) and hence doesn't need to be acquired for them.
We strongly recommend you to use Azure Test Plans or the Test hub in Azure DevOps Service/Server (a fully featured Test management solution) over Microsoft Test Manager for all your test management requirements. There will be no new versions of Microsoft Test Manager.Microsoft Test Manager 2017 (which shipped with Microsoft Visual Studio 2017) is the last version.
More details please take a look at our official tutorial here.
Besides, to use Azure Test Plans in Azure DevOps service you need some License requirements
Azure Test Plans uses an access level called Basic + Test Plans, which is available from Azure DevOps.
For the Manual testing permissions and access suggest refer this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/test/manual-test-permissions?view=azure-devops#license-requirements
Hope this helps.
As mentiond in the Extension page:
This extension is available out-of-the-box in Azure DevOps Services and Azure DevOps Server (2019 onwards) and hence doesn't need to be acquired for them.
So you don't to install it, it's exist :) just go to the "Test Pans" tab in the left menu (maybe you need give permissions in the settings).
I have installed visual studio mac on my mac.
I have installed the tfs extension on visual studio mac.
I have connected to the tfs server in our server in office.
It successfully connected and it display the collection.
BUT it says it has 0 projects. there should be 4 projects in that collection.
User has admin permissions so it shouldnt be the case. Also it does show projects in tfs browser and vs in windows.

Make sure you match the requirements:
Requirements :
Visual Studio Community, Professional, or Enterprise for Mac version
7.5 or later.
Visual Studio Team Services, or Team Foundation Server 2013 and later.
A Project in Visual Studio Team Services or Team Foundation Server, configured to use Team Foundation Version Control.
TFS Authentication:
To connect to TFS, enter the server details and your account
credentials. Enter a domain to use NTLM authentication, otherwise
leave blank to use basic authentication. Select Add Server:
And for your specific issue -- I do not see any / all of my projects ：
After authenticating you should see the list of projects. By default,
only TFS projects to are shown. To see other types of projects, check
the "See all projects" box.
Keep in mind that projects that are on the server will not appear if
you don't have the correct privileges.
Please see Connecting to Team Foundation version control for details.
UPDATE:
Just try to uninstall the vs for mac, and install it again with the latest version, installed the latest extension. That should be work.
My customer is installing Team Foundation Server Office® Integration 2017 tools on their isolated environment. for the similar environment, which is windows 7 sp1 64bit, some succeed, some failed. for the failed, An install window just flash before it disappears. how to check it? is there any place we can find the installation log file? thanks.
and where can I find the requirement document for Team Foundation Server Office® Integration 2017? does it require the similar environment as Visual studio 2017.
Try to log on to the TFS server with the setup user’s account and open the user’s temp folder. Typically this folder is C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Temp. And find TFS installation log file name should resemble “dd_tfs_{}_{}.log”.
In addition, you need to check Requirements and compatibility for TFS installation at website below:

I have the error tf31002 when i'm trying to add a team foundation server with vs2008. Errror says unable to connect to this Team Foundation Server.
I have installed all in the order that I have found out in the forum:
Visual Studio 2008 Professional edition.
Team Explorer 2008.
Installed Service Pack 1.
install the Visual Studio Team System
2008 Service Pack 1 Forward Compatibility Update for Team Foundation
Server 2010.
I have done that 3, or 4 times, and I still can not connect to a TFS 2010 server.
I'm working with a Windows 7 OS. I have readed all along different forums and I have tried a lot of things but nothing have worked.
Make sure you install the components in the order you listed.
Make sure you can access the TFS from Web Access.
Try to go to the TFS AT machine and connect it from VS to see whether you can connect it.
Make sure you are using the http://tfsserver:port/tfs/ProjectCollection url format.
If you use TFS server name in the URL, try to switch to TFS IP address. If you use IP address, try to switch to TFS server name.
Clean the Cache folder on your client computer. The folder path is: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\x.0\Cache.
Visual Studio/Team Explorer 2008 and Visual Studio 2005 are no longer
officially supported. To connect to the server, these clients must
interface through the MSSCCI provider instead. MSSCCI support only
includes support for source control integration and MSSCCI commands.
Check this site of TFS 2010 support notes for Visual Studio/Team
Explorer 2008:
Version control officially supported with MSSCCI provider. Version
control unofficially supported with SP1 and Compat GDR.
We are in the process of the installing and configuring TFS 2015. Part of it, I am installing SharePoint 2013 on the same box as TFS. I don't want to create all service applications given by Configuration wizard as it slows down the server. I just want to create bare minimum which are required by TFS.
Anyone knows exact list which service apps used by TFS?
