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

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,

During the development we came across this issue, which wasted a lot of our precious time. So I decided to share its solution with everyone. We have Project and Sub-Project Structure i.e. we have a root project and several sub-projects. The ROOT Project is entitled as TEMS8 and all other subprojects have been configured as per the image below. (Click on the image for large size) Now after setting up everything on a new Machine, we came across the Error as The virtual path maps to another application, which is not allowed Finally after investigation, we figured out that we have created multiple virtual directories which mainly causes the issue.
