Connect to Team Foundation Server

Question

I have 2 machines, one at Location A and the other at Location B. The B machine is connected to A's newtwork via VPN. VS2008 Team System is installed on both machines. The A machine has a menu option under Tools > Connect to Team Foundation Server... but the B machine does not have this option.

Is there something that I've missed in the installation of VS2008TS on the B machine? How does one enable this menu item?

Have you installed Team Explorer? It's a separate install.

Yes, on the Visual Studio install disk, in a folder called TFC you can install the client. – Ray Booysen Jan 20 '09 at 15:39
Team Explorer is also called TFS Client Tools sometimes :) – thmsn Jan 20 '09 at 15:41

Have you checked whether or not Team Explorer is installed on machine B? You'll need that to connect to TFS.
