TFS 2010 add solution to source control not working

Question

I'm facing a strange problem: I have a new installation of TFS 2010 on a test machine and I use Visual Studio 2010 Professional on a client machine. My client was before configured to be connected with another TFS 2010 machine with the same bindings. Now, from my client machine I manage to create Team projects in the default collection, but nothing is happening when I try to add a solution to source control. It means that when I physically push the button "Add solution to source control" no window or message is showing. Of course I set all the permissions and group memberships on the server machine, and I restarted client and server several times. How can I solve (or at least make a diagnosys) the problem?

Answer 1

Have you also removed the workspace from the old TFS? Workspace mappings cannot be shared across multiple TFS instances.

Answer 2

Do you have Team Explorer installed? Is TFS set as the default source control provider in Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> Current source control plug-in?
