  • Article

Scenario:

The TFS 2010 is moved to a new hardware by following the steps from the documentation: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404869(v=vs.100).aspx

The project portals on the SharePoint have customized web parts.

After the hardware move is done, the customized web parts will show the error : TF262601: You attempted to add a SharePoint Feature to the site, but that feature requires data from Team Foundation Server. The feature could not be activated because the site is not associated with a team project in Team Foundation Server.

Hint/Test:

The new project creation fails, but created the SharePoint portal which has this error on the web part: TF262601: You attempted to add a SharePoint Feature to the site, but that feature requires data from Team Foundation Server. The feature could not be activated because the site is not associated with a team project in Team Foundation Server.
