Where's the log?


We just installed Team Foundation Server Suite.

On the server, logs are available in the event viewer.

I think that you have to take a look in the security log for this problem.

Have you alreader change some security configuration on TFS before connecting the server?

rwg,

Were you ever able to resolve your issue of connecting from another machine?  I am experiencing the same issue; I'm able to connect via VS2005 on the server itself, but cannot connect from other machines using VS2005. 

My situation is that I just upgraded to RTM from B3R, using a single-server deployment.  I was able to connect prior to the upgrade, and also as part of the upgrade.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Chuck

I just read through Rob Caron's blog regarding the error 31002. It appears that we are already/still using NTLM for security. Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks,

Chuck

The easiest way to test for basic connectivity is to open IE on the client machine and navigate to: http://<server>:8080/services/v1.0/serverstatus.asmx. You should see a description of the Team Foundation Server Status web service.

The Application event log on the TFS AT is the first place to look for problems.

The IIS logs are a good place to look to try to understand connectivity issues. You can take a client machine IP and map it back to the traffic exchanged between the client and server. You will see the resource a client requested and the username was presented to the server, among other things. You can find the IIS logs as follows:

  1. Open IIS Manager on the TFS AT
  2. Expand Web Sites
  3. Select Properties of the site of interest (Default Web Site for SharePoint, Team Foundation Server 2005 for general TFS connectivity issues)
  4. Click on the Web Site tab to get the log file location and name details

Have you had a chance to examine the event log for relevant entries?

Hi,

We have exactly the same issue. How did you solve it? We were able to access the asmx sites directly trough IE, but still got this anoying error when we try to connect from team explorer.

Any hints?

Chris,

Please check your application-tier's event log for entries. They should be in the application log and have a source beginning with TFS.

If you post the contents here, we'll be able to help determine the cause(s).

Thanks,
