Can't Connect to VisualStudio.com: "The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel"

Question

I just started receiving this error in Visual Studio 2012 while trying to check in my project to VisualStudio.com . I don't know what is causing it, I have tried rebooting the computer but it has not solved the problem. Has anyone ever seen this before?

I am using the Team Foundation Service Preview.

C:\Users\rjs3261\Documents\Visual Studio 11\MvcApplication2\MvcApplication2\MvcApplication2.csproj: The server encountered an unknown failure: The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.

Answer 1

The Team Foundation servers are down, you can check the status here:

Answer 2

I am getting the same error. Tried to check-in for the past couple of hours and every attempt results in this error.

There is a forum response on tfs.visualstudio.com. Looks like there is an Azure storage problem that is causing the issue.

I also found the hosted TFS status dashboard: https://tfs.visualstudio.com/en-us/support/current-service-status
