Error creating connection with hosted TFS on Azure VM

Hi there

I have recently moved our Team City Server onto an Azure Windows Server 2012 Virtual Machine.
I have followed a number of tutorials and read a number of forums on how to create a VCS root on TeamCity using the hosted version of TFS(TFS online).
I had mannaged to get it working on my PC which we used as a build server, but when I try and replicate that on the VM I get an error:

Test connection failed in IQS Team Platform :: Build IQS Class Library. TFS failed. ExitCode: 111, command: C:\TeamCity\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\plugins\tfs\bin\tfs-native.exe @@C:\TeamCity\temp\TC-TFS-88-9780_450\command.params, in file: {https://ij.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection, /user:***** /password:***** /hash:S, /noProxy, C:\TeamCity\temp\TC-TFS-88-9780_449.result, ConnectionTest, $/IQS Source}, completed in: 0 second(s)

Things that I have done(as suggested: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18446930/conecting-teamcity-to-tfs):

1.) Set up alternate credentials for TFS account (http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/2012-aug-27-vso)

2.) Enter TFS settings like so:

3.) I have installed Team Explorer 2012 with and updated to update 4
4.) I have created firewall rules for ports 8080 and 9191(From other articles I read)
5.) Installed Team City version 8.0.3 (build 27540)

Why can I not access TFS? Even after all of these steps?

Hi Micheal,

I'm facing same issue on Amazon EC2. Did you find a way for this issue ?

Thanks in advance.

I think you guys need to clean TFS caches. TC uses TFS native client to connect and this is its error.

Do you have Compat GDR installed as suggested here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/dd997788.aspx?

Yes, I've installed Team Explorer 2010, Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and Compat GDR as suggested on MSDN site on Amazon EC2 server

Note: I can connect to TFS via Team Explorer on Amazon EC2 server but TeamCity cannot connect ...

It looks like a general issue with supporting hosted TFS. I filed and issue for this: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TW-36694 Add support for TFS online (visualstudio.com)

- Visual Studio 2012 Premium with Update 4
