I have managed to resolve these issue. As it turned out the client didn’t have
sufficient access privileges to the TFS assets on the server. The solution was
to:
1. Launch TFS Admin tool on the server under administrative privileges
a. Connect to the server root
b. Assign following roles to TFS Administrator or the domain user
responsible for creating TFS projects:
i.
SharePoint Role: Full Control
ii. Reporting
Service Role: Content Manager
2. Login into SharePoint Central Administration:
a. Navigate to Operations à Security Configuration à Update farm
administrator’s group
b. Add the TFS Administrator or the domain user to this group
Further, it is crucial that VS 2008 client is used to create new TFS project as
there are further issues when creating new project using TFS 2010 client.
I hope this helps someone in similar situation.

Subject: [OT] TFS 2008 Issue
Hi all,
I recently built our Development Environment using TFS 2008 SP1 workgroup
edition. The TFS server is installed on Windows Server 2008 hyper V image.
The TFS installation went well as is evident through:
1. TFS Best practices analyser shows no errors.
2. I am able to connect to TFS site http://tfs-server
3. I am able to set permissions for users using team explorer.
However, I am having following two issues:
1. I am unable to connect on the TFS Server using the TFS admin tool.
2. When trying to create a new project from the client I get following
error:
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
TF218027: The following reporting folder could not be created on the server
that is running SQL Server Reporting Services: /. The report server is located
at: http://tfs-server/Reports. The error is: TF249061: You cannot access the
following report item: /. Access was denied because your account does not have
one or more permissions required to access this item.. Verify that the path is
correct and that you have sufficient permissions to create a folder on that
server, and then try again..
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
I am unable to resolve above issues and your help is much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Hemal Modi
