Trying to install the build service, however we can't because the install wants a domain user. We installed TFS with local users for TFSSERVICE and the other users. Is there anyway to install the build service with local accounts? Or do we have to uninstall TFS and reinstall with domain users?

Thanks in advance

If you are using it in a workgroup environment there is no need to use domain accounts, althought is recommended for increasing security and not having to use different credentials

Which error is giving you the install?? can you take a look to the installation logs? is the user an administrator used?

Mathew is right also in part, the user you set for Team Build must have permissions to the drop folder.

This is as far ar I can get....

TFS\build\setup.exe

<next>

accept terms <next>

system health...ok <next>

install location, cant change so <next>

specify a logon account for the TFS build service... TFSBUILD(local account)...

Get message "You have entered a local machine account. Only domain account are supported. Please enter a domain account instead".

STUCK.

The server is not in a domain, it's in a workgroup, I can access the machine with my domain user, but I dont think we want my account tied to the build service.

Must I have a TFSBUILD domain user created? If we must go that way, we will backup the database, uninstall TFS and create all the TFS users as domain users and reinstall. Kind of a pain just to make things working consistently.

Any suggestions?

Appreciate the help!!

The TFSBUILD user is an admin on the machine and is an admin in TFS.

I am entering the user as "machine\TFSBUILD" and still getting the same message. It knows the user is a local user and is stopping the install.

Could there be a config setting somewhere to bypass the local user check?

Thanks!!
