Unable to connect to TFS Server 2010 - Team Foundation services not available from server

Image
We commonly encounter this problem, that VS is unable to connect to TFSServer 2010. There are many resolutions and reasons for this problem. We encountered this issue due to the following reason. Problem Reason - Our Administrator changed administrator password of administrator. - Application poll start and stops again when it was accessed. - whenever we start the application poll, it automatically stopped whenever someone access it. - This administrator password was in the application poll to run it. When password changed, the service was unable to connect. Resolution Simple resolution is to provide the correct username and password. Try to give administrator passowrd to run things normally. Identify server-name\administrator enter 3 dots and you will see the last screen shot screen Enter correct username and password on this screen This will resolve the problem Hope this will help you Thanks and Regards,
