TFS53010 - Exception in Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Common.CheckinEvent

Question

I just installed few updatesand suddenly TFS stopped working. I do not think we changed anything else. The Service Packs installed were Security Update for Windows Server 2003 (KB975025), Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - October 2009 (KB90830), and Update for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows Server 2003 (KB976749). Server was restarted as the part of update install.

Installation is on application server on TFS on Server 2003 R2 and DB on Server 2008 x64

It appears that after another restart of the application server services started OK.

Anyone has any idea why?

Regards

Hello mjsk,

Thanks for reporting this issue.

From the error message, it appears that there is an SEHException when reflecting on type: 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Common.CheckinEvent'.

This error can be caused by any referenced type missing issue. So I suspect that there are some DLLs missing on your TFS application tier.

Can you do a repair on the TFS AT and re-apply service pack on TFS? If team explorer was installed on the same machine, you should re-apply VS SP1 too.

Please let me know if it works. Thanks.

Answer 3

Dear Hongye
Thank you very much for your response. I restarted the TFS app server and after the second machine restart TFS started properly. This would indicate to me that all DLLs are installed although I noticed a message from the original installation which specified that Mail component was missing in the distribution disk.

The issue is not urgent as the system is working but I'm afraid to try to install any other updates if this is going to stop TFS from working. This is why I'm looking for some explanation to the issue.


Taking this all into the account, do you still want me to run repair and VS SP1?

If this would help you guys to resolve the issue I can do it after hours. I can not play with production server otherwise.

Hi mjsk,

I only know that some security update for windows will change IIS settings for ASP.NET. This can cause TFS stop working. Here is a link talking about this: http://www.codefounders.com/community/blogs/davidg/archive/2007/07/12/windows-update-ate-my-team-foundation-server.aspx

But it seems not relative to this issue.

If the server is working now, please don't repair TFS. Please post it here if the error or any other error occurs again.

Thanks,
