TF30076: Confirm that the server name is correct

If you are using the command line TFS tools, you may have come across this error:

TF30076: The server name tfs-server provided does not correspond to a server URI that can be found. Confirm that the server name is correct.

Usually you'll come across this after you've rebuilt your machine or you're working on a build box or something.

Try specifying the full server url address, instead of just the hostname. For example:

tf.exe get . /server:http://tfs-server:8080

When you don’t specify the full URL, the tf command line tools will try and resolve the address using the registry entries in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\TeamFoundation\Servers.

If they don't find a matching key, they will throw this error.

You can also add this key by opening Visual Studio Team Explorer and going to Tools | Connect to TFS | Servers.. | Add.

Hi.

I developed a basic c# class. This class does basic TFS functions. (ex:checkin, check-out...)

and i use this class in two applications.

First application is a windows application. And second one is a windows service. (both uses the same class)

The windows application runs succesfully and versions the files but windows service does not work properly.

In windows service i get the following error

"TF30076: The server name 10.45.135.1 provided does not correspond to a server URI that can be found. Confirm that the server name is correct."

at third line in following source code.

NetworkCredential TFSCridential = new NetworkCredential(TFSUser, TFSPassword);

private TeamFoundationServer TFSrv = new TeamFoundationServer(TFSIp, TFSCridential);

TFSrv.EnsureAuthenticated();

@selcuk

You need to specify the fully-qualified address for the TFSIp parameter. e.g. http://yourserver:8080/

The windows service probably doesn't work because it's running under different credentials to your windows application. The user running the windows application would have the registry key set.
