    Hi,

    I have recently set up TFS for my company, and I have a problem whereby I cannot change the user that I connect to TFS with on my machine.

    I have (during installation) authenticated with the server under another username, which I no longer wish to use, but it seems that whatever I do I am always authenticated as this user instead of as my windows account.

    Do you have any suggestions on how I can force visual studio to "forget" who I have previously connected as

    Hello Steve,

    Could you please try the following

    1. Login on the client with the current domain account you want to use.

    2. Right click the VS 2005 icon. Select 'Run as..' . Select 'Current User'.

    Good luck.

    Rightclick the Visual Studio icon you're using to launch it -> Run As.

    Hi Richard

    Thanks for answer. It's early days for me with tfs but is it possible to create users for tfs that don't map to domain accounts, like it can be done with vss

    Regards

    Ok, so I managed to get around this by disconnected VS from the TFS server, disabling the user account which it was trying to authenticate me with on the server, and reconnecting. This forced it to ask me for credentials, and I could put in what I wanted.

    I'd be interested to see if there was a way to do this properly though.

    Not in V1. All users must be valid NT Domain or local accounts on the Application Tier.
