TFS 2010 Error Creating Team Project

Question

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..

Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 2008 TFS 2010 Beta 2 Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Beta 2

I'm in a new environment so I need to be guided through this error. I've done a little research and found that there are no Site Settings Options under the TfsReports | Properties tab.

I've made an attempt at assigning membership fot TFS but I'm a newbie and don't know if it's set up correctly either.

Help?  :)

Answer 1

You do not have access to the report site. To setup the correct security see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156502(SQL.90).aspx.

When you do not see Site Settings, it means that you do not have enough rights to set the authorization. Please contact your SSRS admin.

Answer 2

I'm still having this error. If I log onto the TFD server as administrator and go to http://<servername>/Reports I can see the Site settings. I clicked it and then Security and then added New Role Assignments for myself (local login) and 2 admin accounts that are admin accounts for SQL and TFS.

When I am back on my dev box in VS 2010 Ultimate beta 2 I can cannect to the TFS but I still cannot create a new Project in team explorer.

Help!

Answer 3

I'm thinking of installing VS 2010 Ultimate Beta 2 on the TFS server to see if I can create a project from the server itself. It might help me diagnose if it's a Network user issue. I forgot to mention that the Server is in it's own workgroup. I have local users created with admin rights that I created Role assignment for but I was trying to create a project from my local box Using VS 2010 Ultimate Beta 2...

Answer 4

Installing VS 2010 on the TFS server and adding the project from there did the trick. So that's a good step.

So it appears I have a network user rights issue? The TFS box is in it's own workgroup and now I can access http://<SERVERNAME>:8080/tfs from other nodes on the network, after entering my TFS Local user name and password in the modal dialog that pops up.

I Still want to create projects from my local dev box obviously so where do I go from here?

TIA!

Your problem is that you do not have direct access, maybe - it is just a thought - you can add your tfs server to the stored credentials (open control panel and search for credentials to find the function)

Answer 6

Ewald, I have added credentials to my dev dox for the TFS box Hostname.

That did not work.

BUT(!)  ;)

I added the TFS hostname and IP to my local host file and re-connected to the Collection in VS using a new connection based on the host name instead of the IP and...

TA-DA! I can see my project from the Dev box! 

Can I create a project from my local Dev box??


<h1>YES!!!</h1>


Problem solved. To celebrate I think I'll create a Work Item in my brand new working TFS Project, and MARK IT DONE!! Yeah!!!!!!

Isn't being a geek cool?
