TFS 2008/Visual Studio 2008 TF30004 TF30171 TF30224 Can't create a new project

Question

I am unable to create a new project using Visual Studio Team explorer 2008 with TFS 2008.

 

I am able to browse to the Reporting Servcies Site and teh Sharepoint site on the TFS Server.

My user is a Reporting Services sys admin and has all roles (inlcuding content mgr) in Reporting Services

 

A couple of weeks ago, I was able to create a project and I went back to create another one and started getting this error.

 

The report folder has a red 'x' on it for the existing project that I was previously able to create.

 

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..

Answer 1

Hi

 

As you have tried, we start trouble shoot TF20224 by checking permissions first:

1. Browse to http://<TfsSerever>/reports
2. Click Properties tab.  Assign your account Content Manager role.
3. Click the Site Settings link in the top-right corner.
4. Select Configure site-wide security. Assign your account System Administrator role.

If this doesn't help, please run Best Practice Analyzer shipped with TFS 2008 Power Tool to see if any clue can be reported.

Answer 2

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem. I have checked permissions and runned BPA and no clue is reported.

I am running Windows 2008 Standard + SQL2008 Fresh install (i have disabled the firewall for now). Hardware: ESX Virtual server on a Dual Xeon CPU with 16 Gb ram.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Luc

Answer 3

My problem is fixed. VS2008SP1 must be applied after installing TFS Client.

Answer 4

As I sad before, I've already installed sp1 for VS 2008.

Answer 5

Oh my god! Bill, are you read what I've written!? I ran BPA - it's report is nothing wrong. I've installed TFS under domain admin. Of couse his is already Content Manager and System Administrator.

Answer 6

Answer 7

I have the same Problem.

i installed WS2008 Ent (fr) + SQL Server 2008 Ent (fr)  + TFS 2008 (fr) + Team Explorer SP1.

i was able to create my first empty Project and five seconds after I tried to create a second empty project but i had this error message :

TF30207 : échec de l'initialisation du plug-in "Microsoft.ProjectCreationWizard.Reporting"

Erreur TF30004 : l'Assistant Nouveau projet d'équipe a rencontré une erreur inattendue lors de l'initialisation du plug-in Microsoft.ProjectCreationWizard.Reporting.

Explication TF30171 : le plug-in Microsoft.ProjectCreationWizard.Reporting utilisé pour créer le nouveau projet d'équipe n'a pas pu être initialisé et a retourné l'erreur suivante : TF30224 : impossible de récupérer les projets du serveur de rapports. Assurez-vous que les services SQL Server Reporting Services Web et Windows sont en cours d'exécution et que vous disposez des privilèges suffisants pour créer un projet..

Any Idea how to resolve this ???

Answer 8

Thanks Morris, I had installed the TFS client after installing SP1.  Resinstalling SP1 did the trick.

Answer 9

Hi All,

Issues:
1) Seeing a Red "X" sign on "Reports" folder while seeing Team Projects tree in Team Explorer.
2) While creating project, getting the following error mesg.

TF30177: Team Project creation failed.

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.

NOTE:
I have tried the following so far but didn't get any luck in resloving the issue.
1) Re-installed VS 2008 SP1 patch - no luck, red cross is still coming up.
2) Tried the above after running devenv /ResetUserData - Same, no luck, red cross still comming.
3) Uninstall VS2008 SP1 patch (which was already installed before the "red" x issue came), then ran the 2nd bullet step + 1st bullet step - Same, no luck, red cross still
    coming.
4) Uninstalled both VS2008 SP1 and then Team explorer, then installed Team Explorer from scratch - Same saw red cross on reports. So, now its time to install VS 2008
    SP1, did the same, but NO luck again, Red cross still showing up.
5) I have checked all the necessary services from SQL/Team Foundation/IIS/HTTP/WWW PS -  (they are in running state), checked all pools in IIS are running. From
    IIS, I'm able to browse Reports/Pages/....aspx files. In IE, http://localhost , http://localhost/Reports , http://<servername>/ , http://<servername/Reports is
    working too.
6) Checkin/Checkout, build creation and Web portal/WSS are all working perfectly.
7) I have tried the following link as well to make sure i'm not using an old userid/wrong password.
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfssetup/thread/69d13873-e434-4b91-8d37-571b7ab961cb/ (Comments from HUA CHEN).

8) I didn't reinstall any SP1 for TFS 2008. I just did for VS 2008 SP1 reinstallations/uninstall+installations of VS2008 SP1 and Team Exp.

So, far I have tried all the solutions that i got from MSDN, but can anybody help what I have missed in resolving this issue.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Now, the 2nd concern is Project creation error mesg. Well, I think, If we can resolve this Red "x" cross error mesg then that will not come too. Looks like im missing something.

Thanks-

Brgds,
