How to change Team Foundation Server 2010 urls for use externally
* Please take the time to comment or digg this post if this post was helpfull*
In our company we use TFS for internal use, but our developers also work from home. Please note that this tutorial was done using a “Standard Configuration” in TFS (Everything on one box). Should be very much the same for advanced also. Achieving this is considerably easier than it was in tfs 2008, but there’s still no magic change urls button.
So here’s how to do it:
In our company, we use the following urls which resolves internally and externally:
TFS Main: http://tfs.mydomain.com:8080
Sharepoint: http://sp.tfs.mydomain.com
Reports: http://tfs.mydomain.com/reports
To start off, this

I have a two machine TFS 2010 deployment. My first machine TFS 2010 Application Tier, SharePoint Server v3, and SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services. My second machine has SQL Server 2008 Database only and it has TFS, SharePoint, and Reporting Databases. My current TFS port is the default( 8080) port and the SharePoint Port is default (80) port. I would like to change the TFS port to 80 and yet keep the SharePoint port also 80. Can I do that?

hmmm Sylwia, are all tfs services running? and the report server service?
Hi, I followed the steps, but I cannot change the report urls, when I click Populate urls I’m getting exception: TF255050 TF255050: A connection cannot be made to the Report Server WMI provider. Verify the following:
1. You have entered the correct name for the server, including the instance name.
2. The Windows Management Instrumentation service is running on vs2010rcdemo.
3. The service is not blocked by Windows Firewall.
4. You have the required permissions to connect.Details:
server RPC is not available. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA )Do you have any idea why?
Thanks,

Thanks alot for that info Dean, I’m pretty sure I did the same, I just didn’t remember doing it.
Hi Everyone,
I also had the same problem as many of you above. Here is the solution…
Open Regedit
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
Create a new DWORD called DisableLoopbackCheck and set it to 1. You may need a restart, but it worked right away for me.This disables a new security feature that is designed to prevent reflection attacks and authentication fails if the FQDN for the custom host header you use does not match the local computer name. The TFS Admin console needs to do exactly this to check that the url is correct.

When i try to verfy path in sharepoint web application setttings i get the message last in this message.
I dont know if it has anything to do with the fact then when i try to acces http://sharepoint.SITE.com/ from outside of the domain i correctly gets probpted for username and password. But when i try to connect from the server i also gets probpted but it woant accept my username and password.
TF255329: The following site could not be accessed: http://sharepoint.SITE.com/. The server that you specified did not return the expected response. Either you have not installed the Team Foundation Server Extensions for SharePoint Products on this server, or a firewall is blocking access to the specified site or the SharePoint Central Administration-

Ok what happens when you just try and browse to the sharepoint site from a browser? Does it load up? did you edit the alternate access mappings correctly?

A client of ours is using this on Windows Server 2008 x64. They are not using SharePoint or the reporting services. We have changed the IIS binding and the URL in the application tier. I can connect to the URL, can authenticate and log in. However it is still looking at the wrong URL, not the one I changed it to. Do any services need to be restarted or anything?
“TF31002: Unable to connect to this Team Foundation Server: http://SERVERNAME/tfs. Team Foundation Server Url: http://SERVERNAME/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 request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.”

After adding a fqdn host header to the Team Foundation Server website and then attempting to match that url in the TFS admin console and clicking Test in the dialog I get nothing but an error stating that I don’t have the credentials to connect to the site. Any idea of how to fix this? This is a clean installation of TFS on Windows 7 x64 Ultimate.

Thanks for a great write up on a somewhat tricky bit of config. One question, In your write up there seems to be some confusion about port 8080. You begin with saying your tfs url is: http://tfs.mydomain.com and in the IIS site binding you show port 80 for that url. However in subsequent screen shots you show port 8080?

Hi,
First of all want to thank you for an amazing article. It helps a LOT!
I’m just having a small issue with Web Access Portal. When I login to my project dashboard and click to “Team Web Access” link on the left site redirects to a local address, not the external url. However, in Team Server Console I see that Notification URL and Web Access URLs point to the external url.
Do you have any ideas what can the reason be and how to fix it?
Thank you very much!
