Currently In order to create a team project and add files view reports in report manager etc. I need to have a local user account created. My domain account which I use to get into the physical server does not work and when I try to add this account to a project with permissions it throws an error that says something about not being in domain. Can somebody help steer me in the right direction on what to look for and maybe reconfigure to get this working.

Thanks

Aaron

TFSSETUP, TFSSERVIE and TFSREPORTS are all local user accounts on this server. The person who was doing the install would have been on the domain unless he logged in as the local administrator account.

Thanks for the hlep Luis. At this point since it is a local user account and the installation has been done. What can be done to move forward to allow domain users access. Can a TFSService account be created in our domain. Do we need to do a reinstall?

Again thanks for your help

Below is what I got when I ran the TfsAdminUtil. It appears that this userid was not a valid login for certain databases (not sure if this was an initial install issue or even a problem at all). The next step is to run the TFSSecurity command and add this new account and I get the following error under the TfsAdminUtil when I query the Team Foundation Administrators and Service that they do not exist.
