It still picks up the old https URL and gives an error as below

Apparently the logs doesn’t depict a meaningful information.

The solution is to rename the file ApplicationTierSettings.xml as ApplicationTierSettings.old

The file can be found in the following folder:

"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Team Foundation\Configuration\SavedSettings\ApplicationTier\

And then rerunning the Application Tier only Wizard.

*This issue does persists in TFS 2013.4 and is not present in TFS 2015.RC onwards.

Cheers!
