IIS Rewrite rule doesn't work for subfolders

Question

Hello,

I need to enable a rewrite URL in IIS for my old TFS server ( Team Foundation Server).

The default website on 80 port, and tfs root website on 8080 work well, it rewrite the url well to my temporary website correctly, but it can't catch the tfs subfolder , I tested all the possibilities ....(only with match url, with conditions ... no way), I suspect tfs web.config right now ..

Here is my url rewrite configuration :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <clear />
                <rule name="Forward root">
                    <match url=".*" />
                    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false" />
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="http://sptfs2:81" />
                </rule>
                <rule name="forward" enabled="true" patternSyntax="ECMAScript" stopProcessing="false">
                    <match url="^/tfs/(.*)" />
                    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false" />
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="http://sptfs2:81" appendQueryString="true" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>
    </system.webServer>
    <location path="tfs">
    </location>
</configuration>

can you tell me what I missed please ?

Thank you
