Hi geo,

Thanks for your post and welcome to tfs forum.

From the error message, it is a permission issue on the file system. Can you help to verify the following items?

1. Check if the directory 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010\Application Tier\Web Services\_tfs_data\fd879eac-6e71-4fe9-a693-aab83d158ad6\Proxy' exists

2. Check if the account '150THREERIVERS\geo' can create a folder under 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010\Application Tier\Web Services\_tfs_data\fd879eac-6e71-4fe9-a693-aab83d158ad6\Proxy'

3. Chech the security of Proxy folder and if TFS_APPTIER_SERVICE_WPG group has read and write permission

4. Check if '150THREERIVERS\geo' is a member of TFS_APPTIER_SERVICE_WPG group.

Answer 2

Hello Hongye Sun,

Thanks for your reply, here is what I have found.

1) There are no folders or files under C:\Program Files\Microsoft team Foundation Server 2010\Application Tier\Web Services\_tfs_data
2) 150ThreeRivers\geo is me and I am in the administrators group on that machine. I was able to create a folder in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010\Application Tier\Web Services\_tfs_data and delete it from File Explorer
3) TFS_APPTIER_SERVICE_WPG group has all but Full Control and Special permissions for C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010\Application Tier\Web Services
4) No, the only member in TFS_APPTIER_SERVICE_WPG isn't a user at all, but a computer. It is the computer on which tfs is running.

Further detail that might help you:

1) In VS.NET 2010 Team Explorer, 150ThreeRivers\geo is a member of the Team Project's Administrators group. I can see this from my Desktop, which is where I created the project from. From my laptop, I can not even see the Project in the Collection from Team Explorer.

Thanks,
George

Some further info:

Just found the follow error Event in the Application Server log:

Log Name: System

Source: Microsoft-Windows-DistributedCOM

Date: 12/24/2009 4:32:41 AM

Event ID: 10016

Task Category: None

Level: Error

Keywords: Classic

User: 150THREERIVERS\TfsServiceAccount

Computer: Pavilion.150ThreeRivers.Local

Description:

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID

{61738644-F196-11D0-9953-00C04FD919C1}

and APPID

{61738644-F196-11D0-9953-00C04FD919C1}

to the user 150THREERIVERS\TfsServiceAccount SID (S-1-5-21-2490845738-350207301-3806065389-1617) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

Event Xml:

<Channel>System</Channel>

<Computer>Pavilion.150ThreeRivers.Local</Computer>

</System>

<Data Name="param1">application-specific</Data>

<Data Name="param2">Local</Data>

<Data Name="param3">Activation</Data>

<Data Name="param6">150THREERIVERS</Data>

<Data Name="param7">TfsServiceAccount</Data>

<Data Name="param9">LocalHost (Using LRPC)</Data>

</EventData>

</Event>

Binging this error, I was directed to Component Services\My Computer\DCOM Config\IIS WAMREG admin Service and found that all the Properties under the Security tab are disabled and I can't change any of the properties.

Is this related to the TFS problem and if so, how do I enable those properties so that I can add TfsServiceAccount User to grant Local Activiation Permission?

Thanks,

George

Answer 4

Hello George,

It is abnormal that there is no service account under TFS_APPTIER_SERVICE_WPG group. You must add your TFS service account into this group.

For the IIS WAMREG admin Service, this is because of permission restrictions in Windows 2008 R2. In order to fix this error, you need to first grant edit permission to your current account in registry and then add TFS service account into the activatiion permission group.

Here is a walkthrough about it: http://www.wictorwilen.se/Post/Fix-the-SharePoint-DCOM-10016-error-on-Windows-Server-2008-R2.aspx

Please let me know if they work for you. Thanks.

Merry Chrsitmas.

Hi George,

I am writing to follow up this issue. Please let me know if you are still having this issue. Thanks.

Have a great holiday season.

Answer 6

I too installed clean Windows 2008 R2, promoted to DC, installed SQL Server on it (running on Local System) and installed and created TFS 2010 B2 standalone without issues. Can create projects, check them in, but checking out gives the same message.

Also the initial project checked in build definition files give the same error message.

Any news on the subject; I can give access to our lab via RDP to debug the issue, if you provide mail address...
