MS Project 2013 Error Loading Saved Query for TFS Integration - tfs

I am trying to set up an integration with MS Project 2013 with TFS 2017 I have not tried this before. so i am not sure if there is a problem with my pc setup or the addin configuration.This is the error i get when trying to open saved query:
Error Converting Value "System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity;xxx" to type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Identity.Services.IdentityDiscriptor'.Path 'authenticatedUser.descriptor'. line 1 postion 168
I am able to load it from Visual Studio 2015 in the workitems load the Query and then click "Open in Microsoft Office" then choose MS Project. this loads successfully. but i do get errors that I can't publish changes. It asked to restart Project and try again

I cannot reproduce this issue with project 2013 and TFS 2017.
Check Addins’ key in registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\MS Project\Addins), change newest addin (e.g. TFCOfficeShim.Connect.5) LoadBehavior to 3 and others to 0, then try to open saved query in Project 2013 and check the result.
If still don’t work, try to repair your project product.

I have uninstalled Office 365 and Project 2013. Restarted my PC and installed Project 2013 and this fixed this issue.

The issue came back and did some more google searches. I found the answer as part of a bug kb
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3181963/excel-or-project-cannot-connect-to-tfs-2010-or-tfs-2012-servers
After installing this update and rebooting it works.

Visual Studio 2013 Team Explorer is not working

Having installed VS 2013 Premium Update 4 on my VDI going along with Team Explorer for VS 2013 and TFS 2013 Power Tools Update 2 there is a problem with missing Team Explorer extension. While opening VS error occurs as on attached screenshot:
Honestly I have no idea, what causes the problem. I tried to reinstall VS, TFS and several oder hints like clearing Team Explorer cache folder. With no result. And it seems to be VS problem, because from command line I can call TFS and my workspaces are listed properly, so It is installed for sure. As a clue there is kind of error, which occurs while opening solution, and 2 from event viewer:

How resolve error "TF84021 - Could not create the work item list" with TFS Office Integration?

I opened an excel file generated with TFS Office Integration (TFS 2017 update 1 on premises). I obtained this error "TF84021 - Could not create the work item list". How resolve this error? What caused this error?
How resolve error “TF84021 - Could not create the work item list” with TFS Office Integration?
To use that extension, you need make sure you have installed the requires Microsoft Excel and one of the following clients to be installed:
Visual Studio 2017 or later
Team Foundation Server Office® Integration 2017 or later
I have installed that extension and tested the "open work item query result in microsoft excel" through the excel extension with below process:
Click the “Open in Excel” in Query Results after I installed the
Excel extension for my organization:
Click the “Open TfsProtocolHandler.exe” button in popup dialog
Now we can see it in Excel opened automatically:
Hope this helps.
You can also get this error if you're not authenticated to the TFS server. I installed the prerequisites, created the Excel file, etc. Put it away for a couple of months (during which I had changed my Windows password). Tried to open the Excel file and got this error. I opened Visual Studio and hit a Git repo on the server and was prompted for my password (VS 2022). Once that got resolved, the Excel file opened successfully.

Upgrading to TFS 2013. Parameters tab is blank when queuing up a build

I'm trying to migrate from TFS 2012 Update 2 to TFS 2013.
Following the documentation I installed TFS 2012.2 on the new hardware, backed up/restored the databases, then installed TFS 2013 as an upgrade.
I can see the Team Project and the builds. The problem is when I right click a build to queue up a new one and click on the Parameters tab I just get a blank panel. My best guess is there was an error loading the parameters. Note those builds worked fine in TFS 2012.2.
If I create a new build from scratch and I use their new default template (TfvcTemplate.12.xaml) I still get the same error.
I don't see any errors in the output window or the event log.
It turns out it's a known bug with VS2013 connecting to TFS2013
The VS2013 hotfix has been released. Taken from here.
For future reference, this was fixed in Visual Studio 2013 Update 1 (see KB 2911573).

"TF14045: The identity <guid> is not a Recognized identity" after atach project collection from TFS 2010 to 2012

I am not able to access both the Source control in Visual Studio 2010 as in 2012 when I try to access this error is shown: "TF14045: The identity is not a Recognized identity". This error started after I detach the project collection from TFS 2010 and attach on Team Foundation Server 2012, anyone knows how to fix this?
I guess you have TFS 2012 with Update 1 installed? If so you have to wait for the upcomming patch that will contain a bugfix for this error. Have a look at Microsoft Social:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfsadmin/thread/238cad96-8e74-4f14-869a-3bb5e0629fd7
Never had this error, because the migration is planned for January, but I found this entry with some suggestions and answers from MS:

Just be sure that you have not opened two instances of Visual Studio & trying to connect two TFS servers which needs two different credentials/ domain.
I was facing that issue & after closing one of the instances, it started working fine.

Can't connect to upgraded TFS 2008 Project Collection in TFS 2012

I have successfully installed TFS 2012 and migrated my TFS 2008 databases into TFS 2012. From within Visual Studio I am able to connect to the new TFS server through my source control plugin and can see all of the projects that were imported from TFS 2008. The problem is that when I click 'Connect' I am getting an exception that an HTTP 500 error has occurred. On the server I am getting a warning in the Event Viewer because of this URL:
http://[servername]:8080/tfs/tfs2008projectcollection/services/v3.0/locationservice.asmx/TeamFoundation/Administration/v3.0/LocationService.asmx
If I manually go to the above URL minus '/TeamFoundation/Administration/v3.0/LocationService.asmx' the page loads fine. Additionally if I remove '/tfs2008projectcollection/services/v3.0/locationservice.asmx' and navigate to http://[servername]:8080/tfs/TeamFoundation/Administration/v3.0/LocationService.asmx the page loads fine.
Thing is this only happens with the project collection that I imported from 2008. I created a new project collection directly in TFS 2012 and I can connect to that project just fine within VS 2012. Has anyone ran into this issue and, if so, what is the best way to correct it?
It is unclear what caused / is causing this problem but after a TFS server reboot the issue is no longer manifesting itself.
I'm am also having this issue. I have Update 4 and this is a fresh machine. I see the issue here, have tried the fix and no luck. I've also tried a reboot with no luck. I see the issue here and it appears that Microsoft's only suggestion is to 2013. Unfortunately they do not supply a migration path directly between 2008 and 2013, so I have to cross my fingers and hope that upgrading the machine after importing from 2008 even with the error will solve the issue.
Can anyone confirm the issue is actually resolved in 2013?
