Unable to create a project in Team foundation server

Question

Hi,

       I have setup Team foundation Server using a service account (xxxx). I am able to create projects using the same service account (xxxx). but if I use the other accounts(like yyyy), it throws the following error. I have given admin access(for yyyy) to the TFS server and report server.

Error TF30004: The New Team Project Wizard encountered an unexpected error while initializing the Microsoft.ProjectCreationWizard.Reporting plug-in.

Explanation TF30171: The Microsoft.ProjectCreationWizard.Reporting plug-in used to create the new team project could not be initialized and returned the following error: TF30224: Failed to retrieve projects from the report server. Please check that the SQL Server Reporting Services Web and Windows services are running and you have sufficient privileges for creating a project..

User Action Contact your Team Foundation Server administrator.

Please guide me in solving the above issue.

Thanks,
Saravana

Hi Saravana,

It seems that yyyy does not have permission in Reporting Serveice.

Log on as xxxx, Open http://<servername>/reports , click property page, add yyyy as content manager. Click Site Setting on the header, in security tab,  add yyyy as System Administrator.

Also it is better to make sure that yyyy has permission to create site in sharepoint.

Best Regards,
Ruiz

Hi,

    Thanks for all your responses.

    I have solved this issue by installing Visual studio service pack 1 on the client machine. After doing so, i am able to connect to report server and able to create project successfully.

    The team explorer version required is Version 9.0.30729.1

Thanks,
