This month, we are releasing fixes that impact Team Foundation Server 2018. The following has been fixed with this patch:
- Add the ability to select the set of SSH key exchange algorithms. With this, you can disable SHA1 to use the industry-standard SHA2.
TFS 2018 Update 3.2 Patch 13
If you have TFS 2018 Update 2 or Update 3, you should first update to TFS 2018 Update 3.2. Once on Update 3.2, install TFS 2018 Update 3.2 Patch 13.
Verifying Installation
-
Option 1: Run
tfs2018.3.2patch13.exe CheckInstallfrom a command prompt.tfs2018.3.2patch13.exeis the file that is downloaded from the link above. The output of the command will either say that the patch has been installed, or that is not installed. -
Option 2: Check the version of the following file:
[TFS_INSTALL_DIR]\Application Tier\Web Services\bin\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Web.dll. By default, TFS 2018 is installed toc:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2018. After installing TFS 2018 Update 3.2 Patch 13, the version will be 16.131.30605.1.
When deploying this patch to a proxy server I get following error:
Error patching files: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2018\Version Control Proxy\Web Services\bin\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Server.dll' is denied
I know that this specific patch is not needed by the proxy server, but we normally apply each patch also on our proxy server to be on the safe side ;)
Meanwhile I got a tip (not from M$)
The problem is the service “GVFS Cache Maintenance Service” which is not stopped be the setup routines
very informative
