I’ve seen many sites for changing the URL in TFS, but they usually refer to TFS 2005. Here’s my way of changing it on TFS 2008.

Step 1. Run the command TFSAdminUtil ActivateAT tfs.mycompany.com

Step 2. Start RegEdit and Navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\TeamFoundation\ReportServer\80\Sites

and change the two string values BaseReportsUrl and ReportsService.

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\TeamFoundation\Servers and edit the server string value.

Step 3. Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team System Web Access\Web and edit the web.config under <tfServers>

Step 4. Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server\TFSServerScheduler and edit the TFSServerScheduler.exe.config, and edit the key TFSNameUrl

Step 5. Go to Start > All Programs > Administrative Tools > SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration. Navigate to Operations > Alternate Access Mappings (under Global Configuration). Add two mappings for Internal URLs

http://tfs.mycompany.com Zone: Intranet

http://tfs.mycompany.com:17012 Zone: Intranet

You need to do this so the document node in Team Explorer will map to the proper URL, and for the portal and project creation to work properly.

You should do a IISRESET or reboot.
