I have a separate server that runs tfs build.

I created an account that will run the tfs build service.

I am getting an error because it says it can’t access the drop folder.

what permissions do I have to give the tfs build service account? I believe it has to be apart of some tfs specific groups?

Update

I decided just to use the tfsservice account on the domain…

I added the TFSService account using LogonAs for the TFSBuild service, I am getting a ‘could not start team foundation build service on local computer’ Error 5 access is denied.

I am using mydomain/tfsservice as the account name.
