I renamed my computer name, and now my TFS workspace is broken in Visual Studio 2012.
When I type:
tf workspaces /computer:ABOTONJIC-PC /owner:* /format:
In
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE>
run in CMD as admin this command
tf workspaces /collection:https://SERVER_NAME.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection /updateComputerName:OLD_COMPUTER_NAME
Look at this link
Vaccano said :
This command did the trick:
tf workspaces /updateComputerName:MyOldComputerName
/s:"http://MyServer:8080/tfs/MyCollection"
It had to be run from the computer I wanted to assign the workspace to (that is how it gets the new computer name. >
tf workspaces /updateComputerName:REPLCATEOLDCOMPUTERNAMEHERE /collection:REPLACETFSURL
example:
tf workspaces /updateComputerName:DESKTOP-42CLO97 /collection:https://testuserxx.visualstudio.com
VS2017
I had the same issue, also a VisualStudio.com account.
I've tried what the prompt told me :
Like so :
tf workspaces /updateComputerName:MyOldComputerName
but I got back :
The /collection option must be specified whenever /updateComputerName or /updateUserName is specified.
In order to get the collection name I ran :
tf workspaces
which listed my collections and I got the name of my collection (...myusername.visualstudio.com...)
Then I ran :
tf workspaces /collection:http://myusername.visualstudio.com /updateComputerName:MyOldComputerName
Didn't work as I got this:
TF31002: Unable to connect to this Team Foundation Server: http://myusername.visuals tudio.com/defaultcollection. Team Foundation Server Url: http://myusername.visualstudio.com/defaultcollection.
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.
Then I noticed that I've typed http
instead of https
, corrected, retried and it worked!
What worked for me was typing
tf workspaces /updateComputerName:MyOldComputerName /collection:"anything".visualstudios.com/DefaultCollection/
I installed Sidekicks. It did not work for this issue, but this did:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE>tf workspaces /updateComputerName:OldComputerName /s:"https://tfsServerName"
