Can't connect to the tfs

hi,

in our project we work (five users) with the team foundation server (RC). All is good and we haven't problems at all. In that time a colleague ask me, whether he could connect to the server. i said to him that the only thing he has to do is to install the team explorer and connect to our project server. He get the following error even though he works in the same domain.

Error:

TF31002: Unable to connect to this team foundation server: ServerIP

conditions:

Team Foundation Sever (RC) on Windows 2003 Server (Application and data tier on the same maschine)

Any ideas.

Can't connect to the tfs

Hi,

the property "Bypass proxy for local adresses" is enabled and the exception for the tfs server is added. The url test can be executed.

I take a view at the web server logs an found this:

2006-03-17 08:25:36 <ServerIP> POST /Services/v1.0/ServerStatus.asmx - 8080 domain\user <ClientIP> Team+Foundation+(devenv.exe,+8.0.50727.127) 500 0 0

500 --> Internal Server Error

Why

The log for a user it will be passed:

What does the output look like after you've run the tfssecurity.exe command as Sam suggested

Also, as a simple check, can your developer run this URL from his/her machine

http://<server-name>:8080/services/v1.0/registration.asmx

My guess is that the user is correct. Do you have any proxies on Can you bypass proxy's in your IE explorer and see if that works.

Did you say you've added the exception from the server I couldn't see it in your last reply....
Cesar Atoche

You can verify that the user is recognized by the system using TFSSecurity.exe (a command-line tool installed in the Tools folder on the AT)

TfsSecurity.exe /server:<AT name> /imx <domain\user>
Can't connect to the tfs
