I'm using TFS Preview (Team Foundation Service) with one of my projects with Visual Studio 2012. I'm also using an on-premises TFS server with most of my projects. When I use my on-premises TFS after using TFS preview and go back to using TFS preview, I get this error:
TF30063: You are not authorized to access MyProject\DefaultCollection.
If I go to Team → Disconnect TFS and then connect to TFS preview again, I'm able to see a "Loading identifiers" loading screen coming up, but in the end I don't get to enter my credentials to TFS preview (my Microsoft account) and as a result, the TF30063 error still occurs.
I suspect this has something to do with my Microsoft account (i.e. Live ID). I'm logged in to Windows with the same Microsoft account that I use at TFS preview. I have logged in to other sites (Windows Development Center, MSDN, etc.) with other Microsoft accounts, but I verified that if I log out of these services and re-login with the correct Microsoft account, I still get the TF30063 error when I try to log in to TFS preview from Visual Studio.
When I came accross this issue none of the provided answers solved this problem or if it did I didn't like recreating the project. The way I ended up solving the issue:
Clicking on the "Connect to Team Projects button" (The plug next to the home button in the Team Explorer tab)
Right click the project you are getting this issue on.
Click Connect.
I guess the "Remember me" cookie timed out but gave me a generic response for trying to push or pull any code.
I solved this issue by using the browser from within Visual Studio, View->Other Windows->Web Browser; Ctrl+Alt+R (or * Ctrl+W, W* in VS versions before VS2010) to navigate to the TFS page and log out of the wrong account and log back in.
For me, the issue was caused by using another live-id to unlock a windows phone for development. Somehow the credentials got cached, it seems.
For me the error came after changing my password for my AD account.
I had to remove the line from credential manager (which contained the previous password.)
Then it worked again.
I have upgraded TFS 2015 to TFS 2017, and then the TF30063 error occured on one of my client machines. None of the solutions here worked...
For me the only solution that worked was running the following command from the Developer Command Prompt:
tf workspaces /collection:https://tfs.xxxxx.com/tfs/DefaultCollection
Of course, you need to adjust the url to the valid one.
Source: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/setup-admin/tfs/admin/backup/refresh-data-caches
The TFS Preview login apparently uses Internet Explorer and thus might conflict with other MS Accounts you are using. Fully clearing the IE cache seems to work for me. After the cache clearing, I get to the correct login screen and may enter my credentials as needed.
I tried all of the suggestions here. None worked. This could be my particular situation where I connect some VS instances to our company TFS and some instances to my private TFS.
The only way to solve it for me is to close all VS instances and start a new instance.
Oddly enough, connecting to the internal TFS is never a problem. Connecting to *.visualstudio.com sometimes raises this issue.
In VS 2015 it can be achieved by
Team Explorer > Connect > Manage Connections
and selecting the team project again. In case of there exist more than one account in VS, Team Explorer asks for which account to use to connect to the team project.
I tried the following to resolve this issue. Hopefully one of these will work for you
A - Close VS then start the VS Developer Command prompt as an administrator. Then enter: devenv /resetuserdata
B - Clear the cache in IE (apparently VS uses this to access your account mentioned here)
C - Click View -> Other Window -> Web browser (CTRL+ALT+r) sign in to your old account, log out and sign in to your new one
D - Open the folder containing you solution, delete (backup if you want) the Visual Studio Source Control Solution Metadata File delete the .suo file and open the .sln file in Notepad and delete the below section
GlobalSection(TeamFoundationVersionControl) = preSolution
SccNumberOfProjects = 6
SccEnterpriseProvider = {**********************}
SccTeamFoundationServer = theServer
SccLocalPath0 = .
SccProjectUniqueName1 = pro
SccProjectName1 = myProject.BL
SccLocalPath1 = myProject.BL
.....more stuff.....
EndGlobalSection
The last step was required because, while I had managed to disconnect VS my solution was still trying to connect to the old source control account.
Make sure that Windows Authentication hasn't been disabled for the Website / Application within IIS.
I'm not sure HOW this happened, but I did uninstall Hyper-V today to be able to install VMWare Player and then re-install Hyper-V
Reenabling this allowed everything to work again.
In team explorer I removed project... then in Manage Connections, clicked on 'Connect to a Project...'
In this screen choose your project then click on Connect... this solved my problem.
This happens to me regularly, and none of the solutions described above works every time.
Most of the times the solution where you use the "Connect to Team Projects button" works fine, but sometimes nothing happens when I do this.
Other times I simply have to re-login to http://tfs.visualstudio.com using the Visual Studio built-in browser (Ctrl+Alt+R) or via Internet Explorer.
(As suggested in some of the other answers, for my part this is not caused by multiple live-ids)
None of the current answers worked for me. I found a solution here.
The issue was that my previous credentials were cached by the Windows
OS for the TFS server. While some people might have had success wiping
out the AppData temp folders, that is not required.
You need to update the credentials through Control Panel on the
Windows OS.
For me on Windows 10: Close VS. Go to Control Panel (with small icon
view)-->User Accounts-->Manage your credentials (on the left
column)-->Select "Windows Credentials"-->Scroll down to the "Generic
Credentials" section and look for your TFS server connection. Expand
the pull down and click "Edit". Enter in new network password. Reopen
VS and everything should work again.
Just restarting the visual Studio would do the job. As I did this and it worked like a charm
I have just removed the server from Team Explorer, then added again, and it worked =).
When Visual Studio prompted me for Visual Studio Team Services credentials there are two options:
Use a "Work or School"
Use a "Personal" account
In my situation I was using a work email address, however, I had to select "Personal" in order to get connected. Selecting "Work or School" gave me the "tf30063 you are not authorized to access..." error.
For some reason my email address appears to be registered as "personal" even though everything is setup in Office 365 / Azure as a company. I believe the Microsoft account was created prior to our Silver Partnership status with Microsoft.
Disconnect from Team Fountation Server under Team Menu and reconnect it from Connect Tab under Team Explorer Window
I got this error, after all fiddling work I could do — the disk space was full!
Clearing it fixed my issue.
I was also facing the same issue as you did. Here is what I did to solve:
METHOD 1
Click the 'Connect' icon just next to Home icon in Solution Explorer.
Choose your project > Right Click > Connect.
Try Check-in the project and this time it will happily proceed.
This is what I tried, and I did not need to logout from any sessions from TFS or VS Account.
METHOD 2
Just press refresh on the top of Team Explorer.
Try to Check-in.
This is also easy method.
Hope this helps.
I had to "run as a different user" to get Visual Studio to connect using my TFS account. It seemed to be trying to use my Microsoft account instead.
Text and image from: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/connect/connect-team-projects
To change accounts
To run Visual Studio under an account that is different from your logged on Windows account, open the context menu for devenv.exe to access your run as options.
You can locate the executable in the following folder: Drive:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE.
I've experienced this issue after an TFS upgrade, and somehow Visual Studio is caching invalid login credentials. I've found two ways to fix it, first, using this answer I completely reset Visual Studio, then reconnected:
Click on menu Tools → Import and Export Settings → Reset all settings → Next → "No, just reset settings, overwriting all current settings" → Next → Finish.
For some strange reason, after the reset it connected without issue (I didn't even have to re-enter my credentials or reconfigure TFS after the reset).
The second approach was easier. First close all instances of Internet Explorer and Visual Studio, then open Internet Explorer and browse to TFS, login, then open Visual Studio again and attempt to connect to TFS one more time.
I finally found the right answer for me on the web.
For me it happened after I changed my password and Windows cached the TFS password. It is require to be updated manually. This is one way to do it:

Fix Summary:
I found a solution, and it works on Windows 7/Windows 10 too. The steps are the same:
Close Visual Studio. Go to Control Panel (with small icon view) → User
Accounts → Manage your credentials (on the left column) → Select
"Windows Credentials" → Scroll down to the "Generic Credentials"
section and look for your TFS server connection. Expand the pull down
and click "Edit". Enter in new network password. Reopen Visual Studio and
everything should work again.
Check the information in registry :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VSCommon\Keychain\Accounts and delete the related keys under Accounts section.
Clear the cache in these paths:
%localappdata%\Microsoft\TeamTest
%localappdata%\Microsoft\Team Foundation
%localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio
%appdata%\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio
Hope this will work.
Note: By doing this may clear all the cookies and caches and load the Visual Studio New.
What isn't officially an answer here, but worked for me (the other answers didn't help):
Click Team Explorer tab -> Connect hyperlink - connect\choose repository. And it works.
Make sure your password hasn't coincidentally expired exactly on the same day you decided to install a new dev machine.
If you can't even log into TFS using the web interface then this may be the case.
Now I got the solution to the problem which I have faced:
The TFS remembered the prior password when I got logged in by using my mobile VPN.
Solution:
Resetting the account that I used to connect using VPN
I get this problem when I am forced by our IT security policy to change my password. After a password change, when I connect to TFS using VS2017, I am no longer authorized to access our TFS server and get the TF30063: You are not authorised to access ...:8080/tfs error message.
However, if I connect using VS2013, I can connect to the server without problems and the access denied error with VS2017 goes away.
It would be a lot easier if the error message were to tell us the username it's trying to access TFS with.
I've been coping with this for a while, and usually logging back in only for the next day to stop again.
I found I had two accounts and removing the unwanted one fixed the issue.
This is under Help > Register Visual Studio
Try making Internet Explorer your default browser temporarily.
In my case I had a proxy. I had edited the devenv.exe.config and set the proxy there. But today I changed the proxy domain password and TFS failed (menu View → Windows → Browser also failed). I could of course have edited the devenv.exe again. But there was a solution to remove it altogether. A brilliant one. It is given here.
Open menu TOOLS* → Extensions & Updates.
Click on Updates... in the left-hand menu
Here it asks for password and restarting Visual Studio. All okay. For more info, look for the answer in the link.
press Win button, then type credential manager and open it .
Add generic credentials.
Go back to team explorer, add the server again.
I would like to know if there is a tool simillar to mymobiler for Wince 5.0 which I can use to control the device from my desktop.
I use mymobiler (v1.25) but I believe it controls only devices running on WM5 and above.
Any help would be highly apprecited as the screen of my device has stopped working.
I use MyMobiler myself when I am coding for WinCE5.0 (not very often but I do know that it works.)
In your extracted MyMobiler zip file is three versions of remote.exe.
remote.exe
remote.exe.50
remote.exe.40
The only one I have gotten to work on wince5 is remote.exe.40
Just rename the existing remote.exe file (remote.exe.wm) [you may have to click tools, folder options, and uncheck hide extensions for known file types]
Next rename remote.exe.40 to remote.exe.
After that you are good to go. Copy remote.exe to the device through activesync (xp) or WMDC (>XP) and launch it on the device. It was a bit funny connecting for me the first time - I click connect on pc, then had to click the tray icon on the device, and click connect.
Good Luck!

This does work, the auto-install doesn't seem to work but if you copy the remote.exe over as mentioned (any location will do), then start remote.exe, click on the MYMobiler icon in the tray and select Connect, it will attach to your PC like the WinMobile version does.
Also, check the ini files in the MyMobiler directory. There's some details on the features/options.
I can confirm that Dave and Mike's solutions work on Windows CE 7 as well.
I was getting an error with the AYGSHELL.dll library when starting My Mobile after the gun was connected.
Run Mymobiler.exe before you connect the scanner to the PC and then connect to the PC using the tray icon from the gun. No error.
Hi I want to acces, open "inetmgr.exe" on my Windows 7 machine. But none of the searches are working. ( Start Menu --> Search Program and Files NOR Search in My Computer).
I somehow want to access inetmgr.exe of IIS(InternetInformation Services).
So can anyone kindly let me know the
default location of inetmgr.exe or any
DOS command to access it. I even
tried typing "inetmgr.exe" in command
prompt. But not working. So PLz
somehow I need to access inetmgr.exe.
Thanks in advance.
It should be available in following location:
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\InetMgr.exe
But when you goto start menu and type inetmgr.exe it should be visible in the list. If not then something wrong with your installation or that file has been deleted.
At first check IIS is installed or not.
For XP
Open Control Panel
Add-Remove Windows Components.
For Windows 7 / Windows Server 2012
Open Control Panel
Programs and Features
Turn Windows features on or off.
I had the same issue. Go into Control Panel -> Programs-> Turn Windows features on or off.
Click on features for Internet Information Services. Specifically, Web Management Tools and Wold Wide Web Services.
For Web Management Tools
->IIS 6 Management Compatibility
->IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility. (or any other features you think you may need)
I had the same problem on Windows Server 2016 with it not wanting to search. IIS Manager (with our normal websites) was showing in the Start menu but IIS 6 Manager was not (where the SMTP Virtual Server settings are located).
Luckily you can launch it from within Server Manager:
Yes, I installed IIS and still couldn't find InetMgr.exe until I went back to
Turn Windows features on or off
and then checked
Internet Information Services
Web Management Tools
IIS Management Console
I have installed IE8 on my system. I usually test my application on this browser, but the problem arises when i got to know that the client is using IE7. Now how can i test my application on IE7?
One possible solution is to have dual booting on my system. So on version of Windows i can have IE7 and on another i can have IE8. But i really don't want to use this solution.
Another possible solution is to use PC Emulator [ Don't know what is this, just heard about these ]. Using which i can have multiple IE version simultaneously. Have you ever tried this solution? Please name any good FREE emulator.
Please let me know if there is any other better solution.
you can use
http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage
and here can you see all browser versions as picture
http://browsershots.org/
I got the solution. :)
In IE8, click on Tools > Developer Tools | or press F12
Then in developer Tools > select the browser mode [ available: IE7, IE8, IE8 with compatibility view ]
This is what i was expecting. :)
Microsoft provides a free set of Windows Virtual PC images for testing various versions of IE on various Windows service packs.
Virtual PC is also free.
Have you ever seen Microsoft Expression Web tool? It contains kick-ass tool for testing pages in various versions of IE - SuperPreview. And this tool also available free, you can download it here.
It's much more easy to use it instead of Virtual PC images. But it can't replace VPC completely because testing in clear environment is also very important.
This is a quick and easy web service solution, good for quick testing.
