Sharepoint sites for TFS disappeared


Hi
Today I noticed a big problem with our TFS test server, the SharePoint sites for all the team projects are gone. The sharepoint sites haven't been visited for a few weeks due to the summer holidays, but they were certainly not deleted on purpose. This is not a big problem however, as these were only sample sites.

The big problem is that it's not possible to create new team projects, I have tried both repairing and reinstalling SharePoint, but this doesn't seem to help. I would prefer not to set up everything all over again, so if anyone can help me get back on track I'd be very happy.

Would you be able to post the error that you are getting on project creation from the logs?

Also - shot in the dark this one, but could one of the service accounts had it's password expire over the holidays? (tfsservice, tfsreports etc). I don't think this is the problem here, but worth checking.

Hi

I checked in the logs, and found nothing there. Sadly I can't check any more now, as the server is kinda formatted at the moment, need to be back up ASAP. None of the accounts have expiring passwords either.

The error I got when trying to access the SharePoint sites was a standard 404 error. The /Reports folder on the webserver was nowhere to be found, anywhere in the file system.

After that I tried to repair/reinstall TFS, but that also failed with a nasty error message from the sharepoint services.

This problem is resolved now by a reformat of the server. Tomorrow I'll try if I can reproduce the error in any way, just so that we can avoid doing it again.
