• NeuroWinterMute Permission problems

  hello, I've created a domain group "ts\developers" with two users: dev and dev2. Then in Team Sysem I created a TFS global group "Developers" adding "ts\developers" windows group as members (not each devx windows accounts). The "Global\Developers" TFS group has the following permissions: - Access the version control system - Create a workspace - Create new projects - Edit domain-level information - View domain-level information At the team proje ...Show All

• Christopher Scrosati - MSFT Missing 'Business Intelligence Project' type in the New Project dialog

I think I have the latest version of Team System in my machine ( Visual Studio Team Suite, RET - 50727.21 ). Any ideas here  What verison do ...Show All

• Aleksei error 28943 on install of TFS RTM

  I have followed the exact steps in your installation instructions, including installing the patches, and I can't get past this error message on the TFS install (the text in the message says it can't connect to the Analysis Service). I have done a clean install using the standard edition of SQL Server. I see that a recommendation has been made to use the answer file on the SQL Server install in other threads, but I get an invalid file error when ...Show All

• RodColes UpdateBuildNumberDropLocation and "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation"

  In my test environment, I have no problem getting the build to work. The build machine, BUILDMASTER, will successfully drop the build to a share on my computer, \\MYCOMPUTER\drop. The Everyone group has full access to this share. However, the final build configuration should drop to \\COMPANYSERVER\VOL3\Kilimanjaro\TestReleaseVersions. From a setup point of view, all I'm doing is changing the DropLocation property. TFSService has FULL rights to ...Show All

• Shi Bai Identifying attributes applied to fields

  This is similiar to another post I had about identifying attributes at the type level http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=86895 but the answer to that problem doesn't work for this one.

• kebabbert Centralize suppressions (no more attributes) in VS2005

  Using VSTS, how can we avoid having to suppress violations all over our codebase I'm aware we can suppress things at an assembly or module level, but that's not my intent. I want to have fine-grain control, yet don't want my codebase polluted with all those attributes. This is the only reason we can't use the built-in Code Analysis in VSTS -- it screws with the code. I just want a separate analysis file that can store all the information it need ...Show All

• cheekydevill Information isn't showing up in the bottom half of FxCop on my custom rules.

  I've got a bunch of custom rules which seem to work perfectly in all ways except that the information in the bottom half of the standalone FxCop is blank. This happened when I switched to FxCop 1.35 Beta 1. I tried digging through FxCop using Lutz Reflector, but got lost pretty fast. I'm sure it's something simple and stupid that I'm missing. Any hints would be great! This has been fixed and should appear ...Show All

• Peter K Internet Proxy Server/Settings Issue

  We ran into two issues both related to our use of an internet proxy server.  On install of TFS Beta 3 we got a "Error loading Event Web Services" error at the end of the install.  Worked around this by disabling the proxy server setting in Internet Explorer.  Then on a client machine I couldn't connect to the server until I added a local address exception of this form: <machineName>.* Note that we did already have an excepti ...Show All

• Dennis G. Can we run tests from the command prompt without installing VS?

  It's probably mentioned somewhere within the documentation, but here is my question: Visual Test (good, old...) had an option to compile tests into p-code, which then could be run on another machine without having to install the full-blown version of VS. This is quite useful for certain tests (and test deployment). Can we do the same with the new MSTest.exe Which files do we need to install on the machine where the tests are to be run ...Show All

• JFTxJ Agent problems with Sept CTP

  I installed the new controller/agent on a clean machine.  It appears to have installed correctly, but I can't run any tests on the agent.  The test (a simple web click test) runs fine on my local machine.  I have bumped up tracing on the agent and service.  The controller log says it sucessfully queues the test run and the agent log says it sucessfully connects to the controller, but it just hangs there.  After a while, ...Show All
