The Project Creation Wizard was not able to connect to the Windows SharePoint Services at [Server-Name]

This morning we had another TFS Error. I guess, I can write a book called "Team System Errors and Solutions" :).The Error occured during the creation of New Project

The Project Creation Wizard was not able to connect to the Windows SharePoint Services at [Server-Name]

The error is mainly because the sharepoint admin services (Sharepoint Central Administration Site) is no more working.So to remove the error I took following steps on the server

1. Goto IIS2. Click Application Pools3. Right Click -> Sharepoint Administration Site V3 (It is the application pool which is in used by Admin site)4. Click Properties5. Identity Tab and make sure the user which is in use by Application Pool is a valid TFS Service Acccount. If it is then re-enter user id and password

and it will work.

Awesome, this was a really quality post. In theory I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real effort to make a good article... but what can I say... I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.

You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.

Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it's driving me mad so any assistance is very much appreciated.
