I have a TFS project that can be found at http://machinename:8080/tfs/tfs.project
I can get to the web interface via http://machinename:8080/tfs/web.
I have SQL Server Management Studio 2008 installed with Visual Studio Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider and Team Explorer 2010.
However when I go to add a TFS server to the list I am presented with a very restrictive window that will only allow me to put in the server name and a port number. With that in place I am unable to connect to my TFS server can anybody offer some advice on how to get round this??
I keep getting a HTTP 404 error because it is looking at the root - http://machinename:8080
I ran into the same problem with the same exact parameters. I discovered that if you enter the full URL in the server textbox it resolves. Example: http://machinename:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection
Nothing explains this clearly.

When i try to connect to the server in Microsoft Management Studio 2014 i get this error.
The error that is being shown:-
I have followed many articles in order to eradicate my problem but i am unable to resolve it. Whenever i browse for more servers nothing appears in the local servers.
No options are available in the local servers:-
I have checked if 'SERVER' is being run in the Services section aswell.
Kindly assist me with this issue. I thought there is some issue with the installation so i tried both the version Management studio 2012 and 2014.
I have a very fundamental and basic SQL question. Using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express, how do I create my first Server? For that matter, how would I create it using any other required software tool?
I took a look at Sql Server Configuration Manager and I saw SQLEPRESS running as a SQL Server. But when I added that in to the start up widow for MSSM Studio Express, as the server name, it threw an error saying it cannot be found or does not exist. It seems that this is not the right kind of server.
To connect to the local instance of SQLEXPRESS, you will need localhost as the server name.
This is a fairly comprehensive guide on how to create a database once you have connected. All the steps won't apply to using SQL Express, but the gist of it is there.
In Object Explorer, connect to an instance of the SQL Server Database
Engine and then expand that instance.
Right-click Databases, and then
click New Database. In New Database, enter a database name.
To create
the database by accepting all default values, click OK; otherwise,
continue with the following optional steps.
Based on this comment:
Trying .\SQLEXPRESS in SQL Server Management Studio Express throws an error that says that "This version of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express can only be used to connect to SQL Server 2005 servers". So this is the problem, I think.
.\SQLEXPRESS is the correct server name, but you have the wrong version of client tools (SQL Server Management Studio). To find out the version of SQL you are connecting to, there are a number of suggestions here: https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1140/how-to-tell-what-sql-server-version-you-are-running/
But since you can't connect yet the easiest thing to do is go searching for sqlserver.exe, right click, properties, version. If you have multiple version you need take note of the folder that it's in and check the SQLExpress one. You can also check in services.
Once you've worked out the version, download and install just the management tools for that version.
I installed VS2013, VS2010 Shell (for the BI-Tools) and SQL Server 2012 on Windows 8.1 Pro. I configured the SQL Server and attached the AdventureWork2012 database successfully.
I created datasource > dataview > cube from the db above.
However, I got an error saying
"The project could not be deployed to the 'XX\DBT2' server because of
the following connectivity problems: A connection cannot be made to
redirector. Ensure that 'SQL Browser' service is running. TO verify or
update the name of the target server..."
I've checked the SQL Server and SQL Server Browser and both are running. (checked from SQL Server Configuration Manger)
I also checked the db connection I set up on the VB project. It said Test connection succeeded.
I think I missing some user permission thing but not sure which one is it so here is a little more info about the user right. The user I am using is the account that setup with the windows installation. I also followed some other article online that they said added a few more admin right (user, group) will solve this issue which it didn't for this case.
I also go into the SQL Server Management Studio and check the database permission. And the user right as well but I can't seem to find any problem.
I recently installed Visual Studio 2010 and SQL Server 2012 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine - (including all updates/Service Packs).
When attempting to work on a SQL Server database from within Visual Studio, VS throws the following error:
This server version is not supported. Only servers up to Microsoft SQL
Server 2008 are supported
I recall getting this same error a while back (on a different computer) when I updated a SQL Server 2008 instance to SQL Server 2008 R2. The fix, back then, was to install (or reinstall) Visual Studio 2010 SP1.
Now that I'm receiving this error again (on a new computer), I thought it reasonable to reinstall VS SP1 just like I did a while back. However, doing so did not fix the problem.
It appears as though Visual Studio may need another update to support SQL Server 2012 instances.
For clarity, here are the steps that I did to produce the error: (using VS 2010sp1 and SQL2012)
Using VS, create a Windows Forms application
Right-click the project and choose, Add > New Item
Select "Service-based Database"
Cancel out of the "Data Source Configuration Wizard"
A Database will appear under your Project in Solution Explorer. Double-click the new database
The Database will be added to Server Explorer's list of Data Connections
In Server Explorer, open the database, right-click the Tables directory, then select "Add New Table"
The error "This server version is not supported...." is thrown
Screenshots for whatever its worth..
My question is, is there a fix for this? If so, what is it?
Maybe get SQL Server Data Tools, which work with SQL Server 2012? I believe there are some good tutorials and other materials in the Developer Training Kit. I don't think there are any tricks yet to make an older version of Visual Studio / Data Dude compatible with SQL Server 2012.
Following MSDN blog link discusses about the issue that you are facing with local SQL Server database instance in Visual Studio 2010.
Using LocalDB in Visual Studio 2010
My problem was that I couldn't get VS2012 to work right with SQL Server 2012. I installed the latter product first, but after installing VS2012 and attempting to open an existing project, my existing data file just would not work. I know the software is supposed to automatically take you through a wizard to update your database in the project, but that didn't happen, and I couldn't find a way to make it happen. I'm on the point now of getting rid of SQL Server 2012 and going back to 2008. I'd rather use the most current releases, but I can't spend any more time on configuration issues.
I tried reinstalling the SSDT as well, but kept getting the same error you mentioned Jed, this seemed to let me get around the error message:
http://forums.asp.net/t/1721552.aspx/1?Working+with+Denali+SQLEXPRESS+in+VS+11+Database+issue
This error could also occur if you use the wrong provider. A recently came across the "This server version is not supported...." error and after changing the provider from sqlClient Data Provider to SQL Server Native Client 11.0 in the connection string for the Data Source configuration the problem was solved.
For me, the error arises whenever I try creating a new database. So after unsuccessfully attempting all methods advised, I bypassed the error by clicking on "Add connection" and putting my server name in the dialog box. After adding the non-existent database name, it notifies that it can't find such database and asks whether to create it. Voila! Database created (even though server version is supposedly unsupported).
I've SQL Server 2008 Express installed. I've just download and installed SQL Server 2005 Express, but I changed the name of instance into SQLEXPRESS2005 (I added 2005 at the end to avoid conflicting names).
Unfortunately, when I try to access the 2005 instance either using the SQL Server Management Studio or the VWD 2008 Express (Database Explorer window), I don't see it.
I just disk-recovered my system, so I lost many of my files. But, before that, I had both versions, one having 2005 as instance name.
So here are the summary of the issues:
I was able to download and install successfully the Express 2005
When I try to connect to a server, I only see.\SQLEXPRESS as option (there's no SQLEXPRESS2005)
When I try to connect from the VWD, I get the Server not found ERROR!
I can see the SQL SERVER 2005 icon on the Control Panel window. But, when I try to
uninstall it, I get a error message telling that this program is not found
When do Start -> All Programs, I can see the The Microsoft SQL Server 2005 folder
It's really strange as I was successfully able to install both versions before I experienced problem with my system.
Thanks for helping.
Do you see the service for the SQLEXPRESS2005 instance? If it isn't there then the instance doesn't exist and you'll need to reinstall.
