VS 2017 Team Explorer - No Repositories Available

Question

I have a new Team Foundation Server that we are hosting - Version 16.131.28226.3. It is over an SSL connection and has a valid certificate.

I have created a new Team Project named "Test".

The project source control type is Git.

In Visual Studio 2017 - 15.9.4 Team Explorer, I can clone this git repo under Local Git Repositories. And I have successfully added and pushed to the server.

However, if I try to connect to this new Team Foundation Server - Manage Connections, Connect To a Project, Add TFS Server; when I add the TFS server, there is an exclamation icon next to and if I hover on the server name it says

No Repositories Available

when selected, the Connect button is disabled. In the screenshot below, the second highlighted server is the one in question:

So the Local Repo is not associated with the Team Repo, thus I can't assign Work Items to my checkins, etc..

I have explicitly added myself as a User to the Project, I don't know what else to do. Any advice?

Answer 1

My issue was - on the server, Team Foundation Server Administrative Console, the Public URL was incorrect. Our public URL had changed to a full domain name with https and the public url was still set to the old http LAN address.

Bounty Edit:

This actually worked! I checked TfsMgmt.exe and had specified only https://MachineName for the Public URL.

I edited it and specified the Fully Qualified Domain Name, ignored an error when clicking the test link, then I restarted the TFS Server(s) including the SQL.

Ps I previously had to add the certificate, add a trusted URL: https://stackoverflow.com/a/43036526/495455 and I also added the TFS Server into Windows Credentials Manager with my username/password.
