Error TF244088 while mapping PWA instance to Team Project Collection

Question

I receive this error : TF244088: To run this command, you must have been granted the Administer Project Server integration permission on Team Foundation Server "http://tfs...
while trying to map PWA instance to Team Project Collection

Below is the command I executed:

tfsadmin projectserver /mappwatocollection /pwa:http://projectserver/pwa /collection:http://tfsserver/sites/DefaultCollection

I already set the Administer Project Server integration permission in the Project Collection Service Accounts group, where the user that I used to run this command also belong.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Hi, there have been two instances about other user reporting this issue, in one case the issue was solved by making sure the cmd windows was launches in administrator mode, in the other case the issue was solved making sure that the permission was set on the right collection (the same one being used in the command line). Can you please check those two things?

 

Thank you.

Hi Federico,

Yes, I've read the previous posts regarding this error. :) I've lauched cmd to Run as Administrator and set permission to Project Collection Administrator and Project Collection Service Accounts but I'm still encountering the same error. What else do you think I should do?

Thanks.

Hi, it seems that you are doing everything that is needed. When you receive the error TF244088 from this command it means that the services we are trying to access in the TFS Server are not available. The message is not the best in all cases and for instance, if you run the command by passing the wrong TFS collection URL (for instance, http://server/tfs/collection instead of http://server:8080/tfs/collection) you will see this error.

 

So if you already double and triple check that the collection URL you are passing to the command is the right one (make sure the protocol and the port in the URL are correct, etc.) then I ran out of ideas and I would suggest you contact support and they can help you by taking a closer look at your system.

 

Thank you.

Thanks Federico, I'll check on this. :)

As a guess, it looks like the second URL (/collection:http://tfsserver/sites/DefaultCollection) is a SharePoint site collection, not the URL for the TFS Project collection.
