Review Server Status and Settings

Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012

You can use the administration console for Team Foundation to review the current configuration settings that your deployment uses. You can also use the console to review the status of the connections between Visual Studio Team Foundation Server and the components with which it is integrated, such as SQL Server Reporting Services and SharePoint Products.

Team Foundation Server creates a log file every time that the configuration of the deployment is changed. You can review these files to better understand the history of changes or to help you troubleshoot problems.

  1. Open the administration console for Team Foundation.

    For more information, see Open the Team Foundation Administration Console.
