Unable to connect to TFS from Visual Studio 2017, getting TF31002: Unable to connect to this Team Foundation Server error


I wonder if anyone could assist me with that. I am unable to connect to TFS from Visual Studio 2017, I get the error specified below

TF31002: Unable to connect to this Team Foundation Server: http://tfs.**************** Team Foundation Server Url: http://tfs.***************************

Possible reasons for failure include:

  • The name, port number, or protocol for the Team Foundation Server is incorrect.
  • The Team Foundation Server is offline.
  • The password has expired or is incorrect.

Technical information (for administrator): The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.

Please note. I AM able to connect to this TFS server via the browser; thus, there is no issue with my credentials.

I did look all over the internet for the solution, got the latest update for the VS2017, removed all stored credentials multiple times, did everything possible that I could find

I vaguely remember that I dealt with the similar issue years ago but back then there was some sort of a hotfix issues by Microsoft, but now I am unable to find this hotfix

Maybe anyone could suggest where I could locate this hotfix

Thank you everyone in advance


Solution

  • The solution for this was quite simple, the URL I tried for the TFS server was

    http://tfs.some.domain.name.com:8080/tfs/foldername/SOMEFOLDER

    I had to remove the entire portion after the forward slash and use only

    http://tfs.some.domain.name.com:8080

    All worked like a charm
