TFS 2012 does not add TFS server to “Team Foundation Server list”

Earlier I was using Azure team foundation server and recently I tried to connect to different team foundation server. But I am not able to switch from Azure team foundation server to other.

When I connect to other TFS server, it does not show me login text boxes to enter my credentials to add that server to Team Foundation Server list to connect later. It only shows Insert a smart card options.

enter image description here

Even after I uncheck "Remember my credentials" I am not getting login text boxes to enter my credentials, so I am not able to connect to that server.

I am using Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate version.

After disabling smart card service, there is no option for anything: enter image description here

It's very strange and the problem persist even after I reinstalled Visual Studio.

A workaround. Could you try to temporarily disable the smartcard service using msconfig and then retrying this? – allen
can you please tell me in detail how to disable smartcard service? – Alagesan Palani
Ctrl+R -> type msconfig -> Enter -> Click Services tab -> find smart card entry here -> uncheck the checkbox -> apply -> OK – allen
@allen please check my edited post after disabling smart card service. Its so weired now. – Alagesan Palani
It looks like that authentication is required. Is this a DoD TFS instance perchance? – Andrew Clear

Try deleting the saved credential from Credentials Manager.

  • Load Control Panel
  • Load User Accounts
  • Click Manage your Credentials

Take a look in Windows Credentials and delete any saved credentials that are associated to the Azure account.
