Is it possible to connect Visual Studio 2017 to a Team Foundation Server 2005 SP1? Version of microsoft.teamfoundation.server.dll = 8.0.50727.762
I tried to connect with http://servername:8080/ (by using the server url servername//) and with http://servername:8080/tfs (by using server url servername)
Both give an error TF31002: Unable to connect. The remote server returned an error 404.
Using Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 the connection goes without a problem.
I can't find a compatibility overview of Visual Studio / possible TFS versions.
It might be possible but is not a supported scenario according to TFS Requirements and compatibility, see section about Client compatibility where Team Foundation Server 2008 is the oldest mentioned as supported partly/fully by Visual Studio 2005-2017.
