• Visual Studio Team System Publishing test results fails - not sure why...

  I ran a unit test and wanted to publish the results back to the "operational store" to see what would happen and if I could do something with the data - however I got the following error: EndPublishRun: Server was unable to process request. ---> A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. The help is vague on what exactly is going on behind the scenes and I haven't found anything yet in my searches through the forums and various blogs. Any help to this error would be appreciated, and if someone coul ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Moving from one TFS to another

  I've been running TFS and VSTS for one very large project, and it's been great, except for the fact that our server was a free workstation that really wasn't up to the task.  So, we got a new server.  Now, I need to move the project from the old server to the new server.  It seems like there is no tool, which I'm OK with - if I need to do a lot of manual steps, that is fine.  I was just hoping someone had done this, and could offer any help.  Right now, it seems like the easiest solution is just have one person check out everything , and then add these projects to the new server - but we'll lose our history, and I re ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System What is the best way to get our CSR's onto TFS?

  We really don't want to buy more licenses for .NET for our CSR's to access our TFS Work Items, reports etc. Currently, all members of staff: Sales, CSR's, Secratary, CEO, Managers are able to enter issues in our current Product Tracker system. We want to keep this with TFS, however we do not want to purchase additional licenses for people that might only input a few issues a month. Is there some sort of client that can access TFS We do not want to use our office licenses to put excel on all these computers. Nor do we want our sales people looking at MS project because they will get confused... very quickly... I remember heari ...Show All

• SQL Server Decoding Decimal Form of HRESULT from ErrorCode

  I have an OLE-DB Command transformation that inserts a row. If the insert SQL command fails for some reason, I use the "Redirect Row" option to send the row to another OLE-DB Command transformation that logs the error on that row to a "failed rows" table. In this table I log the ErrorCode and ErrorColumn values that come with the error path from the first OLE-DB Command. OK, that's all working great. However, here's the kicker: there's no error description value. The ErrorCode value, naturally, is the decimal form of an HRESULT--for example, -1071607696. Without some further information, however, this code is not useful f ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation Server Access over Proxy

  Hi I'm wondering if it's possible to authenticate to a TFS (Beta 3 refresh) over a web proxy server I do a lot of onsite work with the repository, and some customers have proxy servers set up which I authenticate with to get to the outside world. VS keeps saying that it cannot contact the server. Thanks very much. Mat With a standard installation, the server is set up to use Windows authentication (NTLM), which won't work through proxies.  You would need to change it to use HTTPS and HTTP Basic Authentication.
