    While I’m not familiar with TFS, I have experienced similar problems trying to setup CI using TeamCity from JetBrains. I am assuming that you’re attempting to sign your assemblies or XAPs in a fashion similar to below:

    Figure 1: Signing an assembly using an installed certificate

    If this is true, then the problem you are encountering is that TFS is probably running under the SYSTEM account whereas your code-signing certificate is installed under your account. As such, the SYSTEM account doesn’t have access to the certificates installed under your account. Unfortunately, I don’t know of any way to solve this problem other then filing a trouble ticket upstream with Microsoft.

    Hope this helps a little.
