Connect to TFS server in SQL Server Management Studio

Question

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

Answer 1

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.
