TFS - transition to a new server. How to update solutions with new server information?

TFS was installed on a virtual machine, and we have 6 developers who use it. We have been over a year now. We need to move the virtual machine to a new data center, and the IP address will change. We all referenced the TFS server using IP instead of HOST or DNS (yes, I know!)

Everything is hard coded as an IP address. How do we update the local configuration to piont on the new server IP?

I found the “Server” entries in the registry, and I found that the solution file has an IP address on the server that is hardcoded in it.

Is there an easy way to make these changes without manually editing the files / registry?

The answer provided by DustinDavis is correct, but it is worth noting that Visual Studio can cache your connection to Team Foundation according to your user preferences. Following Dustin’s instructions, if you still get an error message that mentions your old IP address, try clearing the cache folder in the following location:

C: \ Users [USER] \ AppData \ Local \ Microsoft \ Team Foundation \ X.0 \ Cache

This will force Visual Studio to use the new IP address that you provided in the sln file.
