TFS + Jenkins job

I have a project on local TFS server. This project has a PowerShell script which creates the build.
I need to create a correct JOB in Jenkins, which will start when any change happens in the project (TFS). This job will automatically start PS script on project directory.
Please, help me with this task.
Based on your description, you just need to integrate Jenkins with TFS and set CI/CD to trigger the build/release in Jenkins.
To run PowerShell in Jenkins you can refer this article: Running Powershell scripts using Jenkins
For the Jenkins integration and CI/CD, you can reference below articles:

Build fails on VSTS with error connect ETIMEDOUT 52.173.242.81:8080, on jenkins build is successfully executed

I'm trying out DevOps with VSTS, Docker and Java and I'm stuck with failing builds PFA screenshots of the same.
VSTS build failing while Queue Jenkins job task
Job is successfully executed on Jenkins and .War file is also produced.
This has been setup on Azure following document

Another approach is to have the commit to VSTS trigger the build in Jenkins. Then have Jenkins trigger the release in VSTS. Setting up CI/CD with the TFS Plugin for Jenkins This would not require using VSTS for build.
I was able to resolve the above issue.
My guess worked out correct.
Changing the Public IP from Dynamic to Static caused this issue.
Looked into Jenkins configuration(Manange Jenkins > Configure System > Jenkins Location > Jenkins URL) This was containing dynamic IP and now I've changed it to new static IP and voila it works fine. Build Succeeds and status updated on VSTS as well :)
Thanks for sparing your time in looking to my issue #Starain-MSFT & #Donovan

Trigger jenkins build on tfs pull request

How do i get TFS to trigger a jenkins build when a pull request is created? it would be a smoketest, to make sure everything works before merging with main.
You can use Team Foundation Server plugin for Jenkins. Integrate TFS as a git repository.
check the checkbox next to Enable Push Trigger for all jobs in the Jenkins global configuration

TFS and Jenkins automation

I am doing continious Integration between TFS and Jenkins.I am using TFS as a repository server.I am able to create workspace from TFS in jenkins and building of application successfully.I need automation build after TFS checkin.
IIRC Jenkins polls tfs to see if there's been a checkin, when there has it does a build (as opposed to TFS kicking off the build).

How to setup TFS2010 to use Jenkins build server

We use Jenkins as our CI build server but have moved over to TFS to do all the project management stuff (user stories, dev tasks, test cases, reporting, automation). How do I setup TFS2010 to use our Jenkins build server?
it's actually more like the other way around. You need to configure the TFS plugin for Jenkins, telling it to use TFS as your source control system. below is a link to the jenkins TFS plug-in...
