Hi Folks,
when i'm at work, i can succesfully add users to the team projects using the Team Explorer in VS2005. Kewl.
At home, i use VPN to connect to work, and i can then connect to TFS, etc. When i try to add users to the team project, it fails to find domain\username. This is becuase my home computer is in a workground and not part of the domain (i assume). So, is there any way i can 'register' with the domain, so i can see the work AD, and therefore add the AD users to the team project
hmmm.....
Unable to add users to Team Project if using VPN.

If Chris's suggestion doesn't work for you there is a workaround. The TE use a COM object picker to allow you to select users from the domain that the client resides in and domains that it trusts. However as you've found in this situation (not being joined to the domain) this won't work for you.
The alternative is to use the TFSSecurity command line tool to add users. This allows you to specify the domain and the users are checked on the server (when the request is made) and not on the client. You should be able to find documentation on TFSSecurity on MSDN.

You can join the domain by connecting via VPN, right click on my computer and choose properties. Click Computer name, then Change. This will tell you if you already a member of the domain, and if not, allow you to join if you have sufficient permissions to join a computer to the domain.
Alternatively, you can remote desktop over your VPN connection to a machine that is already part of the domain.

There is a way to run a process using your domain credentials. Right click on the Visual Studio icon in All Programs->Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and select Run As. Select the option to launch the program using "The following user" and enter your domain\username and password.

Hi Bill, thanks for the reply.
yeah, i tried that but the problem is, the machine doesn't 'see' the AD, nor the work domain. i'm guessing i haven't 'registered' correctly. is the VPN the way to 'register'
