为VSTS 2015配置SMTP服务器及拉取请求通知问题

Got it, let's break this down clearly for you. First off, you can't configure SMTP settings for VSTS 2015 (aka on-premises TFS 2015) through the web portal—you need the TFSMgmt.exe tool, and you don't have to download it separately. It comes pre-installed on your TFS application tier server as part of the core TFS deployment.

Here's your step-by-step fix: #

• First, log into your TFS application tier server (the machine running the TFS core services). This requires server admin permissions, so if you don't have that access, you'll need to coordinate with your server admin to get this done.
• Locate TFSMgmt.exe on the server. For TFS 2015, the default path is:
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 14.0\Tools\TFSMgmt.exe
• Run the tool, select Application Tier from the left sidebar, then click the E-mail Alert Settings option on the right.
• In the configuration window, fill in your SMTP server address, port (common values are 25 or 587), sender email address, and any required authentication details if your SMTP server requires it.
• Save the settings, then head back to the web portal to set up your pull request notifications. That TF400663 error should disappear once the SMTP config is active.

Quick heads-up: #

If you're not the TFS server admin, reach out to your team's admin to walk through these steps—this tool can only be run on the application tier server, and elevated permissions are required to modify mail settings.
