Sharepoint Permissions error When Creating New Team Project


I'm having trouble adding users as TFS Administrators.  From what I understood in the documentation, a TFS Administrator needed to be added to the TFS Security Group as a TFS Admin, an Admin for Sharepoint at the top site level and a content manager for sql server reporting services.  I have done that however, I still receive the following error:

Error
Insufficient permissions on the Windows SharePoint Services at ekta to create a new site.
Explanation
The permissions granted your user name and ID on the Windows SharePoint Services at ekta do not allow you create a new portal site. You must be granted specific root permission by the server administrator.
User Action
Contact the administrator for the Windows SharePoint Services at ekta and ask that the permission ??dministrator??be added to your user account.
Warning
TF30144: The New Team Project Wizard attempted to roll back all of the steps taken to this point but was unsuccessful. Contact your Team Foundation Server administrator for further instructions.

However, if I go to http://ekta using the same login information The login has full admin capabilities and can create and delete sites at will.  I'm unsure where the permission failure is coming from.

I had this same issue.  Turns out it was Sharepoint Services.  I originally installed Sharepoint Services 2.0 w/ SP2.  This never worked for me (even when I tried it with the command line option in the Team Server manual).  I had to install Sharepoint Services in Server Farm Mode, and then make the upgrade to SP2.  
 Very frustraing that the command line installation from the manual never worked properly.

That would explain it, because I used the command line with the bundled Sharepoint w/ SP2 installer.  Wonder if anyone from Microsoft has a workaround for this?  Maybe a registry setting, anything?
David Capone

I didn't use the the command line and I have exactly the same error. 

I don't know if you have also this problem, when I go to the Sharepoint Central Administration I can't even log in, doesn't matter which user I try or which permissions it has, it always throws the exception:

Access to the path "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root\5176d6e1\5db67314\hash.web" is denied.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root\5176d6e1\5db67314\hash.web" is denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

Same here...Any HElp?

Me Too.

For 3 days I have installed/uninstalled TFS and sharepoint, always the same result. 

After installing Sharepoint, I can access the sharepoint administration site.
After installing TFS I can no longer access the sharepoint administration site, even if i use domain admin credentials.

I think I have now been through all the options, It is time for me to give up I have a life to get on with.

Same reinstall story. With the addition of Starting over each time. Im installing Server 2003 and then all the other instructions from the chm file. I keep getting stuck here. This is my 3rd complete reinstall. Getting ready to do my 4th.

I fixed it ... I set permsission tothe .net Temp directory for the TsfService user account to full control. Worked like a champ.

Geek cra451
Here is a fix I got from Microsoft
1.  On the TFS server , click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.

2.  Change to the Inetpub\Adminscripts folder.

3.  Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
cd Drive:\inetpub\adminscripts
Note In this command, Drive is the drive where Microsoft Windows is installed.

4.  Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
cscript adsutil.vbs get w3svc/1/NTAuthenticationProviders
Note Capitalization counts here.
It should return Something similar to the following:
NTAuthenticationProviders              (STRING) ??TLM??br> 
If it does not say ??TLM??then go to the next step (doesn?? hurt to run it anyway<g>)

 5.   To enable NTLM authentication on the virtual server, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/1/NTAuthenticationProviders ??TLM??br>  
Restart IIS. To do this, follow these steps:
a.   Click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.

b. At the command prompt, type iisreset, and then press ENTER.

c.  Type exit, and then press ENTER to close the Command Prompt window.


****One note: I had to leave "NTLM" without quotes in step 5. If I put it in quotes, my output on step 4 was: 

NTAuthenticationProviders              (STRING) "??TLM??

So Make sure the output is single quoted.

Hope this helps.

Jack B, is there anyway to do this w/o a reinstall (win2003, etc.)??

I have everything installed (through TFS) and am looking for a "just upgrade sharepoint" solution".

Thanks folks, my TFS is working (so far).

I granted permission to the temp directory and performed the NTLM cmd actions.  Now I can logon to my Sharepoint Admin site AND create a team solution.

Hi, I Just had the same problem, but I don麓t understand wich temp directory did you granted permission .... And actually I can't login to SharePoint
Robert_Jr

It's been a while but: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root\5176d6e1\5db67314\hash.web

Probably ending at the Microsoft.NET or Temporary ASP.NET subs.

I set the permissions to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Temporary ASP.NET Files

Change the 'v1.1.4322' to whatever version of .net your running under. This is from my dev machine but I believe that my Server is running .net 2.0. Just walk the directory to the Temp folder and set permission to that folder (and all child folders) and you will be ok.

Ok the problem with the permissions is solved but I get a different error and I think that is another kind of problem so I did a new thread

Thanks so much for your post

Robert_Jr
For others getting this same error it's worth mentioning that you should start with checking if your own user account is a member of the sharepoint administrators group specified in the "Set SharePoint Administrator Group Account " in the Sharepoint Central administration page.
