I just moved my tfs 2013 in one server to tfs 2015 update 1 on another server, and I also changed the DB server behind.
Everything worked perfectly fine on the migration except for the sharepoint integration, unfortunately during the migration, the sharepoint content database where it was pointing to had physical errors on its content database (wss_content).
However I created another webapplication http://portaltfs, where I want to make the integration with tfs.
However, when I click on change or add, I get this error
Check this blog to see whether your upgrade process is correct. And try try to remove SharePoint extension and re-configure it.
Also, since you would attach the content database which migrated from TFS 2013, after creating new web application with the web site name and port number, go to
Manage Content Database from Central Administrator site, and select the web application created and check Remove content database. Then open SharePoint 2013 Management shell and use Mount-SPContentDatabase to attach the old content database. Refer to the blog for more details.

Problem summary:
I have just built a new TFS 2013 environment for my organization. On my first attempt\test creating a new team project using Visual Studio 2013, I receive the following error at the final stage (Finish button):
"TF218017: A SharePoint site could not be created for use as the team project portal. The following error ocured: Server was unable to process request. ---> The user does not exist or is not unique.---> The user does not exist or is not unique."
I have found several other posts with folks encountering this same error but the proposed solution seems to always be to change the authentication mode in SharePoint to classic which is not available in SharePoint 2013.
The error message implies that this is permissions related. However, it is a little baffling due the fact that when I created a new TFS Project collection using the TFS Admin console it created a new site collection in SharePoint with no issues. I don't understand how my permissions would allow me to create a site collection but not place sites under the site collection.
Here are some details about my setup:
TFS 2013 running on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
SharePoint 2013 Foundation (separate server within same domain as TFS
server)
TFS Service account is a Site collection admin on the SharePoint site
collection
My AD account is a Site Collection admin on the SharePoint site
Collection
TFS Service account is a Farm Admin in SharePoint
My AD account is a Farm Admin in SharePoint
The TFS2013 Server is also a Farm Admin in SharePoint
No problems were encountered during installation of TFS 2013
TFS Server is used solely for TFS - nothing else is hosted here.
TFS Extensions For SharePoint have been installed on all servers in
the SharePoint 2013 Farm
TFS Server fully updated as of 1/17/2014
workstation fully updated as of 1/17/2014
Details on what I have attempted/researched so far:
Confirmed with my networking staff that there are no firewall\blocked ports
issues between TFS Server and SharePoint Servers
For the time period in which I was trying to create the new team
project there are no errors\warnings in the event viewer on my local
machine, SharePoint servers, or the TFS Server
When running Fiddler on the TFS server while trying to create the new
Team Project - I am seeing no traffic at all between the TFS server
and the SharePoint server.
my workstation has no open connections to any of the servers in question when trying to create the Team project
Cleared cache on my workstation at: C:\Users\username(Team Explorer user name)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\4.0\Cache and C:\Users\username(Team Explorer user name)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\5.0\Cache
Verified nothing in cache on TFS Server at: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Team Foundation\Web Access\Cache_v12.0
Performed IIS reset on TFS Server
Re-start on TFS Server
Team Foundation Server Best Practices Analyzer (it says "SharePoint products is not installed", I'm suspecting this is because SharePoint is installed on another server)
Installed Visual Studio 2013 Update 1.
I apologize if this is in bad form but I have also posted this on the msdn forum: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/0758f52d-bf03-44e4-96aa-b60468395914/tf218017-cannot-create-sharepoint-2013-site-from-tfs-2013?forum=tfsgeneral
I am reaching the bounds of my skill set on this one. Any help\ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Update:
Well, unfortunately I had to break down and call tech support from an un-named large tech company for assistance on this. Some changes were made to our SharePoint environment in the process which coincided with the SharePoint farm "going down". I am not sure if the problem on the farm was a coincidence or related to my changes but the end result is that my SharePoint people are now skeptical of my TFS integration etc... so I was forced to do a default install of SharePoint on the TFS box. I will leave this post up for others with similar issues to discuss unless that is in bad form. Thanks to all who tried to help with this.
Here are some additional items I would check:
Make sure you start VS 2013 elevated (Right-click when opening and choose 'Run As Administrator') when creating a team project.
If possible, see what happens if you try from a different computer or the server itself using Team Explorer.
Ensure that the user that you are attempting to create the team project with has enough permissions in SharePoint (you can make the account a site collection admin on the site collection in question).
The user should be a TFS Server Administrator or Team Project Collection Administrator.
Make sure that user account has Content Manager rights in the related Reporting Services folder as well, just in case.
Go to the your SharePoint site collection and attempt to create a site in it manually as the account that you are trying to create the Team Project with; when you perform this, make sure you create it with one of the team site templates that TFS installed (like the Agile or CMMI); If you encounter errors this way it may help you narrow down the problem.
Don't forget to review the event logs on the machines involved.
Okay, I finally go to take another crack at this against my SharePoint enterprise environment and got it to work: The key was to simply remove Anonymous Authentication from the SharePoint web application and it worked!
Access the SharePoint web site collection (for example server/site/DefaultCollection) and add your user or group on Site Collection Administrator.
Good day all,
We recently migrated from TFS2008 to TFS2010. We migrated our TFS_name databases and our WSS databases. We followed the migration steps and our upgrade was successful, except for a single piece regarding the project sites.
Whenever I go into a team project portal, I receive the following error when trying to access the "Reports" site.
TF250016: No access rights have been granted for the following site: http://<tfsserver>/Sites/<project portal site>. You must grant access rights between the SharePoint Web application and Team Foundation Server. You must also associate this site with reports and dashboards for a specific project in Team Foundation Server. For more information, see the Microsoft Web site (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=147580).
I have gone through the TFS upgrade steps and made sure we followed every step and we are running of ideas. Can anyone point me in the right direction? We didn't notice this error as we are not using reports at this time, but it's something we would like to implement in the future.
Thank you
Edit
(to read in the comments)
You did a move from one server to another and upgrade your TFS Server.
It's most likely you didn't follow the "how to move a TFS from one hardware configuration to another" procedure, then you'r SQL Report Server is down or incorrectly configured (the SQL Connection strings in the Data Sources configuration are incorrect).
Follow the procedure I gave you for the SQS Server Resport Service part and you should be fine.
I've just completed an installation of SharePoint Foundation 2010 and I can't get searching to work.
In Central Administration, there is no service application listed for search.
When I go into the Manage Content Database Settings page, the option "Select Microsoft SharePoint Foundation search server" is greyed-out.
In the Services MMC, "SharePoint Foundation Search Service V4" is listed as disabled. I can get this service running for a short time, but eventually it stops and automatically reverts back to the disabled state.
What did we do wrong to make searching completely unavailable in our SharePoint Foundation 2010 installation? How do we get it fixed?
EDIT--->
I changed the log on account for "SharePoint Foundation Search V4" service. The service now starts automatically and is no longer disabled. However, when I go to Central Admin->Manage Service Applications, I still don't see a search service listed. I also still cannot assign a search server to the content databases.
I've tried repairing the SharePoint installation and rebooting the box. I feel like I'm one step closer - but I still don't have search functionality on the site.
EDIT #2--->
I checked the databases on this system and there is no search database listed. On our old WSS 3.0 system there was a database dedicated to search for SharePoint. I'm not sure if this database is missing from the 2010 Foundation server or if 2010 doesn't use a separate database anymore?
I've now got the search service running on my SharePoint Foundation 2010 Installation. Here's what I did:
In Central Administration, go to System Settings->Services on Server. (Note: Prior to this step - no WSS_Search_* database existed on the server)
Select the SharePoint Foundation Search service and click Start
Enter and/or confirm the settings on the Search service page
Press Start to start the service
Go to Manage Content Databases
For each content database in the SharePoint site - assign the correct search server (Note: This option was greyed out until after I started the service in "CA->Services on Server")
At this point search is now enabled on the server. I've verified that search is working correctly. However, I do note that the search service still does not appear in the CA->Manage Service Applications list)
With Sharepoint Foundation you must install Microsoft Search Server http://www.microsoft.com/enterprisesearch/searchserverexpress/en/us/download.aspx
I have a SharePoint 2010 web application with one site collection. I want to copy that site collection to a new web application on the same server.
I took a backup and restored it to a new database on the sql server. I then created a new web application with a temporary content database that I removed from the web application. I then added the restored copy of the original web app to the new web application.
The problem is the newly attached content database show 0 site collections, but there is in fact 1 single site.
I guess it has something to do with the id's? I have tried adding the content db both with and without assigning a new ID to the database.
Any idea how one can copy a site collection to a new web application on the same server?

Try using import/export. The main difference between import/export and backup/restore is that import/export generates new Guids.

Use Windows PowerShell to export a site, list, or document library in SharePoint Server
You can use Windows PowerShell to export a site, list, or document library manually or as part of a script that can be run at scheduled intervals.
To export a site, list or document library by using Windows PowerShell
Verify that you meet the following minimum requirements: See Add-SPShellAdmin.
On the Start menu, click All Programs.
Click Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products.
Click SharePoint 2010 Management Shell.
At the Windows PowerShell command prompt, type the following command:
I have created a Team Project in TFS 2010 and the Project Portal in SharePoint 2010.
Now I need to create a WebPart to deploy in the SharePoint Site (Project portal) that connects to the TFS to get some information.
Where I can get the TFS Url that is associated with the Project Portal in SharePoint?
Any clues?
Thanks in advance.
The url of TFS is not stored in the Project Portal. It is the other way round. In TFS the WSS url is stored.
TfsRedirect can be used to determine the TFS Web Access URL from within SharePoint. Although it's not exactly what you want, and it's a little hacky - you can pass the parameter tf:Test=1 to get the TFS team project that is associated with the site that your web part is being displayed on.
See John Socha-Leialoha's blog post on Using TfsRedirect to Display Reports in TFS 2010 Dashboards
What is TfsRedirect?
Here’s the scenario. You had TFS create a dashboard site in SharePoint
when you created your team project (or you added it later as described
here). There are several items on this dashboard that point to other
locations that are potentially on other servers:
Team Web Access
Process Guidance
Reports shown on the dashboard pages
TFS itself know where to find these assets. And the locations can
change if, for example, the TFS administrator moves the reports to a
different server.
Rather than hard-code the locations of these assets into the
dashboard, the TFS team created a web page called TfsRedirect.aspx
that knows where these different assets are located, and will redirect
to that page.
Shouldn't you be able to go in to TFS2010 -> Team Explorer -> Right-Click on your Team Project -> Portal Settings?
