Hey Grant.
I was AT that presentation. :) I searched your site but couldn't find that 
exact info (I knew it was there).

Thanks!

Subject: [OzTFS] RE: Team Build service account permissions

Making the build service account an admin on the build box would be a VERY bad 
thing to do :)

See my presentation:
http://ozgrant.com/2007/10/13/securing-your-tfs-server/

Overview:
* Create a separate account DOMAIN\TFSBUILD
* Grant it "log on as a service" permissions (the installer/services.msc will 
do this for you)
* Grant it "full control" to C:\Builds (or continue to use $(Temp) as the 
default)
* Grant it "full control" to C:\Drop
* Grant TFSSERVICE "full control" on C:\Drop

Share C:\Drop as a UNC share
* Give TFSBUILD read + change permissions on the share
* Give TFSSERVICE read + change permissions on the share

TFSSERVICE requires permissions, because it is TFS that publishes the test 
results to the drop location - not the build server.

Enjoy.

Subject: [OzTFS] Team Build service account permissions

I just built a dedicated server for team build.
I COULD make the service account an admin to the box, but would rather not.
What privileges should it have?

I've tried with no privileges but with write access to the drops location: no 
love (service won't start, 'access denied').

Cheers,
Steve
