I'm getting the following error when attempting to export/import build definitions. Currently using OnPrem TFS 2015 Update 2

TFS.Web.Api.Exception: An undefined error occurred while attempting to connect to the server. Status code(): error.

having the same issues as well. Any idea on a fix @onlyutkarsh ?

We are also having the same issue. It maybe related to another issue that we have where in some cases the TFS code adds the port number to our URL. Our internal server have a DNS entry that alias the server to tfs.XXXXX.com, so this is a valid url for our installation tfs.XXXXX//tfs/. However, there are certain commands which will try and navigate to tfs.XXXXX:8080//tfs/

If we connect directly to the server, and not the alias, the export works fine.

If you are using a proxy server, try without going through the proxy and connect to directly. It worked for us. If it works add the alias address as exceptions in the proxy file
