Hi guys,
Yup, I'm still stuck here trying to move my SINGLE SERVER team system from one domain to another. I followed the details on the VSTS User Education blog about how to move a team server to a new environment but it doesn't work for me.
The first problem I have which I think causes me trouble later on in the process is that once my server moves from Domain A to Domain B, the owner of the TFS Databases becomes invalid. For example, before the move domainA\TFSSETUP owned the TFS databases (this was the user logged on when Setup was run). Now, after joining the new domain this user is no-longer valid.
I have tried running tfsadminutil changeaccount domainA\TFSSETUP domainB\TFSSETUP <password> but it doesn't seem to change the db owner information.
Has anyone successfully done the move Can you look at any of the TFS databases properties in Sql Management Studio Who's the database owner
Thanks for any help
Graham
Still having problems moving TFS to a new domain

Well, I have sorted it now!
I was using the instruction for moving a TFS from one environment to another, but as you know from above I could not get this to work.
So, I tried using the instructions for moving a TFS from one hardware config to another, basically a restore based move. By installing a clean copy of TFS in the new domain and restoring the data from the old domain all went well. Of course I had the usual TFSAdminUtil ChangeAccount and TFSAdminUtil Sid commands to run too.
Following the restore I then upgraded my RC server to RTM (trial).
The only slight strange thing is, now I've upgraded it, the standard report for 'Builds' doesn't return any information. All the other reports work ok though.
