Team Foundation Server: Multiple Identities Found

Up until yesterday, my connection to Team Foundation Service was working perfectly.

A separate requirement caused me yesterday to rename my computer. After that, there were some errors about the workspace which I was able to fix with the TF command, but I can't find anything about this new error, which arose after I renamed the workspace:

Please note that the blacked-out email addresses are all three identical.

I have no idea how to "specify one of the following workspace specs" from a MessageBox! Any ideas?

TFS for years has been among the worst user experiences I've ever seen.

Connect to TFS DB and refer DefaultCollection db.

  1. [dbo].[tbl_Workspace] this table is used to store workspace info

  2. [tbl_WorkspaceMapping] this table is used to store mapping created above.

  3. [dbo].[tbl_WorkingFolder] this table is used to store working folder mapping.

Exit your tfs client and perform below steps.

  1. delete your workspaces causing issue from table [dbo].[tbl_Workspace] and [tbl_WorkspaceMapping] and start accessing your tfs client by configuring new workspace.

For me it helped to just sign out from TFS via the "Configure Team Projects" window, and then log in again.

I had to guess at a "tf" command line argument set, but, I found that the workspace carried the same name as the computer, after renaming both. So I did this to myself.

After using "tf" to change the workspace name from "WIN8DEV" to "WIN8DEVWORKSPACE" this particular problem vanished.
