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.

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 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.
what would be the problem? thanks
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.
Yes, I know server 2008 is ridiculously old; but it is a client machine we cannot do anything about. Got that out of the way.
The client has an application which we maintain, and the source code lives on that machine, which is also the only machine around with VB6 on it (did I mention this project is old?).
I would like to find a client for the VisualStudio.com TFS services which can run on Server 2008 (not R2). Is there such a beast?
I've tried
Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio Community
TFS 2010 Power Tools
2017 Team Explorer standalone
Sadly, none of them are compatible.
Visual Studio is a kind of client of VSTS. But to be compatible server 2008 system. You could only use versions under Visual Studio 2008/Team Explorer 2008 for source control.
When you install Visual Studio 2008/Team Explorer 2008 successfully, you could also use TF Command to do version control for your project.
I'm trying to connect my AX 2009 installation to VSO (recently renamed to VSTS).
After browsing some forum entries I know that I have to install the following:
Install Visual Studio 2008 (not the Express Edition)
Install Team Explorer 2008
Install Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (This will upgrade both VS2008 and Team Explorer 2008 to SP1)
Install VSTS 2008 Forward Compatibility Update
The installation order is important because the SP1 will update VS and Team Explorer, so I followed that order.
Then I created a project in Visual Studio Online.
Now I want to connect my AX 2009 with the repository in VSO. The VSO is hosting a TFS, so this should work.
As far as I could find out to configure the TFS settings you need to set the Version Control Parameters and the System Settings. I did both as shown in the following screenshots:
When I'm setting the Version Control Paramters the Internet Explorer opened and I needed to authenticate with my User and Password against VSO (so this seems fine to me).
The final step now would be to Create the Repository (Tools -> Developer Tools -> Version Control -> Create Repository. But when I try to do this I get the following error-log: Team Server connection error. [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
The settings in 7 could be wrong - I'm not really sure what values are to set there.
Any help is appreciated.
The plugin is trying to access a SQL Server database. As VSTS is hosted on Azure and uses multi-tenanting there is no access to SQL server on that URL.
I am pretty sure that this is not ever going to work. VSTS is NOT just hosted TFS and even if it were, Visual Studio 2008 is no longer supported as a client for either TFS or VSTS.
Install the following components:
Visual Studio 2010 with SP1 (can be installed side by side with, or as a replacement for VS2008).
Team Foundation Server 2010 SP1 Object Model
KB 2662296
KB 2736182
There's additional discussion around this on the Dynamics Community AX Forum.
I have a server that the team foundation server is installed on. I can connect to TFS from several computers, but I can't connect to its from my laptop through internet. I can connect to it from web, but I can't via team explorer.
Indeed I can't add server via team explorer in visual studio, and I receive following error.
I have connected to this server for 3 months. Then I deleted the team project from server and worked offline. Now I want to add my solution to TFS, but I can't connect to it.
Flushing TFS cache fixed this error for me. To do so;
Delete the contents from the following folders
C:\Users\<>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation
C:\Users\<>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio
C:\Users\<>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VSCommon
Go to the Visual Studio IDE folder in command prompt and run the following command "devenv /resetuserdata" from the Visual Studio IDE folder.
Typical location for 64 bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE
Typical location for 32 bit: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE
Also, not sure if it made a difference but I also deleted this registry key;
KEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VSCommon\12.0\ClientServices\TokenStorage

If you are using an older version of VS than TFS, make sure you install the forward compatibility packs.
