Looking at this for setting up SharePoint extension for TFS 2015:
https://www.visualstudio.com/zh-tw/docs/setup-admin/tfs/install/sharepoint/setup-remote-sharepoint
I have remote SharePoint servers. I'm just looking to update the extension installed from the TFS 2013 version to the TFS 2015 version.
It mentions the following, but I can't find the EXE:
Tip:
If you don't want to install all of Team Foundation Server on the server that is running SharePoint Products, launch the tfs_sharePointExtensions.exe file from the SharePoint Extensions folder to install only the Team Foundation Server Extensions for SharePoint Products.
Really don't want to install the Full TFS Admin console if I can just install the extension alone.
This is not work with TFS2015 any more.
With TFS 2015 the installation media no longer includes the
SharePoint installation bits nor a separate
tfs_sharePointExtensions.exe installer.
To integrate your Team Foundation Server with SharePoint, you must
run the Team Foundation Server installer on the SharePoint server and then configure TFS Extensions for SharePoint. The integration
process itself remains the same.
More details you can refer the Scenario 2: [TFS integrated with remote SharePoint Server.] in this blog Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2015 – SP integration.

in my setup each project in tfs 2015 has own project portal. But group permissions are different in tfs and sharepoint. Is there some approaches to synchronize them?
There isn`t standard tools to synchronize users and permissions between TFS and SharePoint. I think you may try to use next ways:
Common active directory groups. Create separate group for readers and contributors (for each project), add them to SP and TFS. Then add and remove users from these groups.
Use Team Foundation Server Administration Tool as centralized tool. This tools was created for TFS 2013. But TFS 2015 supports TFS 2013 object model. You have to (on your local workplace) install Team Foundation Server 2013 object model, download archive, rename last release to TFS AdministrationTool.zip and install it.
I have TFS 2015 Update 3 configured with SharePoint 2013 integration. I am planning to upgrade to TFS 2018 in new hardware, which does not support SharePoint integration.
According to MS documents I should upgrade and disable the SharePoint integration post upgrade.
In my case I am upgrading and moving to new hardware at the same time. When I am moving to a new set of hardware, I do not want to bring the OLD SharePoint along.
So before even upgrading to TFS 2018 I want to decouple SharePoint sites from the existing TFS 2015 Update 3 configuration.
Is there a way to achieve this? or my approach is wrong?
If you don't need SharePoint anymore, you could remove SharePoint extension in your TFS 2015 by going to TFS Administration Console, click SharePoint Web Applications, click Modify against your server connection and choose Remove.
If you still need TFS SharePoint sites, you should follow the document you mentioned to disable SharePoint integration.
It's suggested have a full backup of your database, and do a dryrun upgrade before using in production environment.
I don't have SharePoint installed in my machine.
I have installed VS 2013 Ultimate and have Office 365 developer site. And I want to develop Sharepoint 2013 apps without SharePoint installed in my machine.
When I open VS I can select template as Sharepoint 2013 apps and give URL of the site and select the hosting option. After do some smart coding I build the solution and then deployed.
When I navigate to Office 365 developer site I couldn't find the deployed app.
What is the issue? Anything I have missed?
First check output in Visual Studio to ensure that the app was indeed deployed successfully.
Second go to your Office 365 development site where it's supposed to be deployed. It should appear in "Recent" section in the side menu on left side. Alternatively go to Site Contents and your app should appear as a tile there.
If that still gives you trouble, try with a sample app project - open it and deploy it and see if that works.
I recently upgraded from Team Foundation Server 2010 to Team Foundation Server 2012, after the database was restored and the Team Foundation Server 2012 was running on the new machine, i recognized that my new TFS 2012 is linking to my old TFS 2010 Sharepoint, so i installed the Extensions for Sharepoint on my new machine and Linked the TFS 2012 with the new Sharepoint.
To be sure that it doesnt link to my old machine, i shut it down. So my new Sharepoint is reachable on tfs:8080/tfs but I can't add a Team Project, and if I want to add a new collection, it adds it on tfs:8080/sites/DefaultCollection.
On adding a new Team Project to a upgraded Project, i get following Error Messages:
TF218017,TF250044
To upgrade I used http://blog.damianbrady.com.au/2012/06/03/upgrading-tfs2010-tfs2012-rc-done/
Does anyone know how I'm able to configure the Sharepoint site on tfs:8080/tfs?
Thanks for your help!
Those specific errors occur when the user who is creating the TFS Team Project does not have the appropriate permissions on that SharePoint site collection to create sites. Add the user who is trying to create Team Projects as a Site Collection Administrator on the Site Collection you are using for TFS.
I am new to sharepoint online. At first I need to know the difference between sharepoint online and office 365 preview.
Preview site: https://portal.microsoftonline.com/Admin/Default.aspx which looms like below.
I have also the below site
Now what is the difference between the two. My goal is to create apps and webparts. Which one shall i choose? I have not installed sharepoint 2013 server/ sharepoint foundation. Can i create apps and webparts without installing server2013/foundation2013?
The Office365 Preview is running on the new SharePoint 2013 platform. If you want to build and monetize apps/web parts, you would need to go with this option, as it is the
latest and greatest.
Go to http://dev.office.com to get all of the resources you need including links to the software, tutorials, documentation, etc...
Microsoft provides a free Office365 portal specifically for developers who want to build apps on the online platform. With this, all you would need is Visual Studio 2012 and the SharePoint/Office SDK installed to build apps. You would deploy and debug directly on the online portal without needing SharePoint installed on your environment.
I hope this helps.
