VS2017 will not connect to TFS2012

When attempting to set up a connection to TFS:

enter image description here

It finds the correct server; however, the connect button is grayed out:

What am I doing wrong? Is VS2017 not compatible with TFS2012?

I am able to connect to it with VS2013 without any issues.

If you select server-level, indeed the connect button is grayed out. You need to select collection-level and then should be able to connect.

Your screenshot looks like lacking of the collection info. This error is similar to Cannot connect to VSTS and TFS from VS 2017 RC

Thank you for your feedback! This issue has been fixed and it's available in VS2017 RC3 (26127). Thank you for helping us build a better Visual Studio!

You should make sure your vs version is later with VS2017RC3. And make sure you have enough permission to enter your collection.

Visual Studio 2017 works with TFS 2013 or newer. You have 2 options upgrade your TFS or use VS 2015.
