I installed all three tiers of VSTS on a single "development" PC. I used local user accounts. Now, I would like to add my everyday domain user account into the TFS security groups. I cannot because I can only connect to TFS using a local user account. As such, I do not have the credentials to query AD when I want to add my domain user account. And, I seem to be stuck in this chciken and egg scenario.
I read the installation guide thoroughly, but apparently not thoroughly enough. I now see the section that states if I use local accounts at install-time I will not be able to domain acocunts to TFS.
Am I really stuck Do I need to uninstall and then re-install TFS using my domain account I found a refererence in this group from Kevin Schlegelmilch about using TFSSecurity.exe. I can't get the cited syntax to work on the command line.
Thanks,

I believe this post may answer your question-

In particular, you should be able to run "%Program Files%\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server\Tools\TFSAdminutil.exe changeaccount <old account> <new account> <new password>" to make yourself or another account you control the service account.
Hope this helps-
Cheers,
