Question:

I use the team EXPLORER to Conect to Team FOUNDATION SERVER 2010,

But I don't login out, and CONNECT with the other login,

When I use Team Foundation Server Preview I login out and connect with other user

Answers:

When you connect to TFS using Team Explorer, it'll automatically use your currently logged-on the user account from Windows Sign-on Services and check if you is able to login to selected TFS Server. If you aren't (which is the case for Tfspreview server) then it'll present you and necessary login dialog box for you To Sign-in.

If your requirement is to the login with another account via Team Explorer then you'll have the to start Team Explorer (Visual S Tudio) with the account. To do, you'll have the to follow steps as per below ...

Open a command prompt and type in ...
Runas/noprofile/user:[domain]\[userid] cmd
• "Runas" command would ask for the password for the this user ID.
on successful log-in it would open-up another command window where you have logged-in as the specified different user acc Ount.
then go to Visual Studio installation directory which in my case is "C:\Program Files (x86) \microsoft Visual Studio 10.0 \Common7\IDE ".
then run devenv.exe file which would open-up a new instance of Visual Studio under that different the user account.
Now you can connect to TFS via Team Explorer window from within this new instance which would utilize that different user Account.

So, because your corporate domain was not linked-up with TFS Preview hosting infrastructure, your current login UserID and Password is not utilized for authentication and instead it asks users to punch in new one.

Overall, I Hope this answers your question and if it does then the mark this reply as answer.
