yesterday evening, we upgraded our TFS Server with the Conchango Scrum template 2.2.  For testing we created a testproject.  Afterwards when we want to delete the project we got following error:

TF30063: You are not authorized to access <tfsserver>

As I'm in the TFS Admin group I thought this would be no problem.  But it is.  And the problem is at the level of the Sharepoint Project Portal.  I was not defined in site collection administration.  It seems that the Farm admins supports AD groups, while the Site collection administrators doesn't.

So the solution is easy.

1. Go to the team project portal
2. Click on site actions and choose Site settings
3. Click on Site collection administrators
4. Add your account

Now, you can delete your project.

Since yesterday (August 6th, 2009) 6PM GMT/10 AM , Windows 7 RTM is available for MSDN and Technet subscribers.

First I thought I wait till today because of the slow performance while everyone is downloading, but just couldn't wait and tried the download.  I took less than 1 hour to download Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit .  So I got no really download performance problem .

Last week, Microsoft released Silverlight 3 and Expression Blend 3.  Now, the Expression Blend users can integrate their work in TFS Version Control.

Read everything in this post of Ed Hintz: http://blogs.msdn.com/edhintz/archive/2009/07/13/tfs-integration-a-top-10-new-feature-of-expression-blend-3.aspx.

As you will read in the post, TFS2008 can also be used, buyt you need to install a patch.

We had some problems.  It seems that nobody knows what the data-tier server for TFS was.  Well it's easy to find out.

Go the your TFS application server and start Explorer.  Browse to "X:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server\Web Services\Services" where X is your installation HD.  Hier you find the web.config.

Open the web.config and you will see your connectionstring to the TFS instance of your data-tier.

Microsoft just released their latest addition to the P&P library.  This time it's a guidance about Acceptance test (Vol 1).

For the moment we use Conchango's Scrum template v2.1.  We have some older TFS Team Projects created with an older version of the template, which isn't availlable anymore on the server.  Now we want to know in what version these team projects are created. 

You can get the info with a certain report, namely the version report.

This report will give you the report version and depending on the version info about the process time.  As you can see in the next picture.

The report version is the same as the Template version.
