I have TFS Server 2010 installed on a remote server.
I have some Windows users on this server for different members of our team.
I connected to the TFS Server using Visual Studio 2010 (installed on my local PC) and am trying to set up security permissions for some of the TFS users.
However, I am unable to do that, as from Team Explorer plugin in Visual Studio, I can see only the local users on my PC.
It seems that I need to install Visual Studio 2010 (or Team Explorer 2010) on TFS server! This seems a bit inconvenient. Are there other ways to solve this problem? Can I do without installing Team Explorer on the server?
Have you added yourself to the Project Collection Administrators group?
Go to the Team Foundation Server Console on the server, 'Server Name' > Application Tier > Team Project Collections > select the Team Project Collection > select Group Membership on the right
Double click the Project Collection Administrators entry and add your user account.

Source Control Explorer is what I have used in the past to manage my Team Foundation version control (TFVC).
In Visual Studio 2019 (and earlier verions), you could open Source Control Explorer by navigating to View | Other Windows | Source Control Explorer. However, this window can't be found here in VS2022.
Has this functionality been completely removed or is there still a way to access Source Control Explorer using Visual Studio 2022?
Follow below steps to add the TFS server:
Manage Connections -> Connect to a project option in the Team Explorer (use View -> Team Explorer if not available) and connect to the project.
Click Add Azure DevOps Server, input tfs server URL and choose Add.
Then the list of projects you have access will be listed below, select a project and connect.
Then the Source control menu option will be made available in the usual place View | Other Windows | Source Control Explorer.
These are the steps from Visual Studio Professional 2022
Use Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2022 only when Visual studio Developer not installed.
You're probably looking for the Team Explorer.
See also Compatibility:
Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2022 will connect to Azure DevOps Server 2019, Team Foundation Server 2017, Team Foundation Server 2015, Team Foundation Server 2013, Team Foundation Server 2012, and Team Foundation Server 2010 SP1.
Yes, Cloud Explorer which is in Visual studio 2019 as shown below, has been retired in Visual Studio 2022
Instead, we can use the following alternatives mentioned here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/azure/vs-azure-tools-resources-managing-with-cloud-explorer?view=vs-2022
Go to File > Clone Repository > Team Explorer > Manage connections.
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.

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.
How can I implement TFS in Powerbuilder 2017 ??
Do i need VisualStudio?
The goal is to use TFS for version control
Steps in brief
Setup the team explorer 2013 (use this link if you do not have visual studio subscription to download team explorer 2013 ) in the machine you are running PowerBuilder to get the TFS connectivity capability to your machine. You do not need to install Visual Studio.
Install MSSCCI provider in the machine to allow power builder to access TFS version control
Create a team project in team foundation server
Connect Power Builder workspace to TFS by going to Properties of workspace and source control. Set the TFS as source control and provide the credentials to connect.
For more details you can follow the instructions in https://community.appeon.com/groups/powerbuilder/using-powerbuilder-2017-tfs-source-control
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 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).
