Issues with duplicating TFS 2005 to a virtual server
- by Hitchhiker
We have a problem with our current TFS installation. For some reason, which I won't get into, the Sharepoint DBs (sts_content, sts_config) were upgraded to WSS 3 (MOSS). So now, none of our team-project sites work, we have no access to our documents and can't create new team projects. We can still work with the version control, though.
We wanted to "play" with the server and try to fix it, without affecting the users. So we used p2v for VmWare, to duplicate the server to a virtual one. We now continued and changed all of the relevant configuration to point to the new server, as explained in the MSDN article.
The step of rebuilding the warehouse (with setupwarehouse) failed. Also, we can't access the VersionControl web service (ourserver:8080/VersionControl/v1.0/repository.asmx). We are seeing errors in the EventLog:
TF53002: Unable to obtain registration data for application Build.
TF53005: Unable to retrieve the Team Foundation Server installed UI culture.
TF53002: Unable to obtain registration data for application VersionControl.
TF30040: The database is not correctly configured. Contact your Team Foundation Server administrator.
The solutions suggested in this blog post did not assist. So now we're kind of stuck.
Any assistance will be appreciated.
