TF31002: Unable to Connect to this Team Foundation server

Question

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.

Howbeit

Is it with the same user as on the other computers? Probably it is going to be an issue with rights of the user if it is a different one. – Flicker

Answer 1

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.
