Question

I installed TFS on a single W7 machine with a single user (me).

After creating a collection, I am unable to access it or to administer its security: It asks me for credentials. However, since I created the collection and there is only one user, I am stuck.

I am thinking it may fail because it’s a single machine without domain (and therefore uses NTLM)

Has anyone been able to use TFS on a single non domain machine?

Answer 1

MSDN article says that it is a bit tricky to use TFS without domain, but possible:

Local user accounts must be created on
the Team Foundation server for all
users requiring access to the server.
Local user accounts must be added to
Team Foundation Server server-level
and project-level groups so that the
users are authorized on the Team
Foundation server. When connecting
from a Team Foundation client, such as
Team Explorer, in the workgroup, the
client user account credentials must
match those of the server, or the user
will be prompted for a user name and
password for an account on the Team
Foundation Server.
