That was interesting. In short the TFSUsers tool did not fix the problem. It did help identify that a work item query existed with that specific user as a value.
The help doco for TFSUsers.exe states that IIS should be stopped before running the tool and then started after it has run. That's interesting given that the tool reports "Error : Unable to connect to the remote server" if IIS is stopped. Since my original email, errors have occurred on the following dates: * 30th May 8:43AM * 29th May 3:42AM * 25th May 12:28PM * 23rd May 4:19AM I'm a confused how the synchronisation, which occurs every hour, will only fail every now and then. Is the synchronisation performing different tasks each time it runs? As far as I can tell, the user should not be showing in the "Team Foundation Valid Users" group but still does. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Number of errors that occurred: 1. An error occurred when synchronizing the following Active Directory identity: Team Foundation Valid Users. Exception message: Error in the application.. When viewing the membership of "Team Foundation Valid Users", I can see one account which should not be listed there. This is the one I am assuming has the problem. The domain user account in question is disabled and recently had its Display Name changed if this has any impact? I have used the Attrice TF Side Kicks application (v2.2) to determine if any specific permissions, alerts etc are still assigned to this user. The user did have work items assigned and specific security granted on project areas. This has since been changed but the error remains. The error appears to occur every second day or so. This seems a little strange given that I have read that accounts are synchronised every hour by default. The TFS Server Manager shows that the error has occurred on the following dates: * 21st May * 18th May * 17th May * 15th May * 9th May Running "tfssecurity /server:<server name> /imx <domain\user>" returns valid information and shows that the user is a member of only 1 group: "e [A] [SERVER]\Team Foundation Valid Users".
