What TFS/Azure DevOps Server version do I have?

At the time of writing this blog, exactly 200 versions of Team Foundation Server(TFS)/Azure DevOps Server exist.

When checking the version number (e.g. 18.181.32118.5), it’s not always clear what marketing version it corresponds to (Azure DevOps Server 2020.1.1 Patch 4). There is no complete list on the Microsoft website that shows all versions. That’s why I thought: let’s do something about it.

To setup a VSTS (Visual Studio Team Services) account initially is very easy. The default user directory that is behind VSTS is a directory based on Microsoft Accounts (MSA).
