How to update VSTS 2008 Team System Web Access to VSTS 2010 - tfs

Is there something like VSTS2010 Team System Web Access (TSWA), if yes where is it located(web page, package with VSTS2010 installer), I'm searching for it but Microsoft pages directs me to VSTS2008 TSWA
I try to upgrade VSTS2008 to VSTS2010, after the upgrade I tried to access it through Team System Web Access and I got an error The type 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WebAccess.DefaultPage' is ambiguous:it could come from assembly 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team System Web Access\Wiwa\bin\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WebAccess.Server.DLL' or from assembly 'C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WebAccess.Server\10.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WebAccess.Server.dll'. Please specify the assembly explicitly in the type name.
Do you have an idea what should I do?

When you do a clean install of TFS 2010, the Team Web Access is created to connect to the SharePoint portal. This of course happens when a team project is created. There's simply a "Team Web Access" link in the left navigation pane of the portal.
Try to right-click a team project in Team Explorer, and choose "Show Project Portal". See if you have that link in the right nav.

"No repositories available" in Visual Studio 2017 when connecting to TFS

When I try to connect to TFS 2015 from within Visual Studio 2017, I get the message "No repositories available". The tfs server is listed, but I cannot connect.
No problems in Visual Studio 2015.
Do you have an idea, what I could do?
Thank you
This is a new UI design changed by Visual Studio 2017.
In Visual Studio 2017, we changed the behavior of the Connect page. We
now populate the Connect Page list with only the items you’ve
selected.
If you select a project and click "Connect", you will see only the project node in the Connect page. To get your repositories to appear
on the Connect page you need to select the repository node in the
Connect dialog and hit Connect.
This change was made in response to feedback from folks who had large
numbers of repositories in their team projects and wanted to not have
them all added whenever they connected to anything in said project.
More details please refer the visual studio team's comment in this similar question: Team Explorer does not show the repositories within a multi repository project
I had similar issue ,for me TFS is using Kerberos authentication. I changed the authentication to NTLM by running command from Developer tools under TFS server.
TFSConfig Authentication [/provider:NTLM|Negotiate] [/viewAll] [/siteType:ApplicationTier|Proxy]
Reference - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/server/command-line/tfsconfig-cmd?view=azure-devops#authentication
We also did IISRESET after this.
After this i am able to view the Repos under visual studio.

Create new project option not showing in TFS Web Access

We recently moved our on-premise TFS server to a new server and we are able to access our projects on the new server.
However, I am unable to see the option to add a new project, only to browse to existing projects:
I have checked my permissions and my permissions include:
Team Foundation Administrator
Project Collection Administrator
This should give me enough rights to add a new project. I'm sure I am missing something, but I cannot see what it is.
In Visual Studio Team Services (formerly Visual Studio Online) you can create your projects from the web interface.
But in TFS you need to fire up a matching version of Visual Studio (in your case 2013), and create new projects from the Team Explorer window.
From Team Foundation Server 2015 update 2 onwards you'll be able to create team projects using the web interface. With all older versions of TFS you need to follow these steps.

Unable to see documents in Team Explorer 2013 after upgrade

We have upgraded TFS2008 to 2013 on a new server and source control/workitem tracking is okay - we can use all that from within VS2013 Pro.
We have also upgraded Sharepoint (containing all the project documentation) to a new database server and using the TFS 2013 Adminisration Console we can see the Team Projects listed there.
However although from the VS2013 Team Exlorer we can add the team projects and open the 'web portal' for each team project, we cannot see any of the documents nor can we (seemingly) view in a browser the portal that in VS2008 shows the document libraries.
Are we missing something in the unfamiliar interface, or can anyone advise what the cause might be and how to fix it?
You need to "wire up" the Team Projects to the Sharepoint sites. It sounds like they have been detached through the order of the upgrade.
Sharepoint needs to be upgraded and available during the upgrade process or this happens
You can however easily wire them back up. In the Team Project in Visual Studio go to the Team Explorer and do "Settings|Portal".
You should have a dialog for wiring up The existing Sharepoint to the Team Project.
If you don't you may have Tbeen disconnected at the collection level. In which case you can open the TFS Administration Console and follow: http://nakedalm.com/integrate-sharepoint-2013-with-team-foundation-server-2013/

Work Item Only View in TFS 2013 Express

How do I set up a work item only view in TFS 2013 Express?
There is no such a group built in.
"Work Item Only View" has been replaced by a "Limited" view in Team Web Access.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj159364.aspx#how_to for more information on how to change it.
If you're not seeing it, it could be that you're not at the root administration page for TFS, or you're not an administrator. Try going directly to http(s)://[server]/tfs/_admin/_licences.
I suggest you to access Team Explorer, included in Visual Studio
You must connect by entering Server Url , Team Project Collection & Team Project
You have also easy solution by Add In On Excel (Add In Excel is installed with Team Explorer), Open WIQL query writetd on your Portal for example
On 2013 you have new organization on your Team Explorer, if you don't find you can use search engine

Team Foundation Serivce (TFS) and running visual studio instance

I have created a repo using TFS (cloud) on www.visualstudio.com
I created my repo as on something as myproject.visualstudio.com and when trying to run or click on following link:
Open new instance of Visual Studio it throws an error as
Cannot open file vstfs:///Framework/TeamProject/..... Verify that the
file still exists and then try again
I searched here on SOV and also on MSDN and found a thread on MSDN forum but it was about some services pack and updates.
Has anybody ever used this service?
Thanks.
I assume that you already created project on yourAccountName.visualstudio.com
Then, if you are using VS2010, install recommended update SP1 VS2010 SP1
After that (it might take a while as long as 30 min), just start VS2010, on start page just click Connect To Team Foundation Server, then on "Select a team Foundation Server" click on "Servers", then "Add", and in "Name or URL of Team Foundation Server" just paste URL of your AccountName such as: "https://yourAccountName.visualstudio.com" (withouth quotes). then you jsut click OK and that's it. Your VS2010 should be now connected with your account at visualstudio.com
This is a bit of a manual method but it works :)
You can find more about it in this MSDN blog Team Foundation Service Preview – Connect Visual Studio 2010 to Your TFS Preview Account
there is a solution I just found which walks me through IDE.
Run VS2012 Under "Start" in VS 2012 click on "Connect to Team Foundation Server ..."
It will popup a dialog so then in bottom of dialog/form there is link as "Sign In", click on it
Enter your user-name and password Now, you are connected to the server and can view
all your Repositories
P.S. don't forget to add your server URL on the list TFS in your IDE provides.
