We have a TFS2010 install on a Win2008R2 Server running IIS7. I've created a host header for TFS and want to use that instead of machineName:8080. I am getting weird behavior from it now. Every other time I log in I get:
TF31002: Unable to connect to this Team Foundation Server: http://web2/tfs. Team Foundation Server Url: http://web2/tfs. Possible reasons for failure include: – The name, port number, or protocol for the Team Foundation Server is incorrect. – The Team Foundation Server is offline. – The password has expired or is incorrect. Technical information (for administrator): The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.
I force a reconnect and voila – there it is. Also, connecting to the web site rarely works but connecting via VS2010 works 50% of the time.
What do I need to change to stabilize this?

I am not sure how to interpret it. Looks like a 404 followed by a 200, or a 401, 404…

Thanks for the log info. Try hitting this page directly in a web browser: /tfs/Services/v1.0/ServerStatus.asmx. That's throwing a 401.2 which suggests that something is wrong with the configuration. You can also try browsing to the /tfs/Services/v1.0 folder in IIS7 Manager. If there is a config error, it should pop up with a message and details on what the issue is.
