Team Foundation Server and Sharepoint Services
This is my first post after a very long time. Recently I found myself referring to my own blog to on how to use the Fusion Log Viewer. I thought to myself, thank god I posted that. So when I came across this rare but tricky problem in the installation of TFS 2010 across multiple domains, I decided to post it promptly…
I recently installed TFS 2010 in a multi-domain environment, (a) DEV (b) TST and (c) PROD with one way trusts from (a)-(c). TFS was installed in the DEV domain. Of course all the enterprise logons are against active directory on the PROD domain. This meant that developers accounts on the PROD domain must be given administrator privileges on TFS Sharepoint applications to create/manage team project collections and/or team projects… Simple enough I thought.. but it took a while to figure out.
In order for sharepoint to query other domains that do not trust the sharepoint domain (i.e. 1-way trust), sharepoint’s people-picker with be configured with the “stsadm” command line tool with the correct credentials.
There is a comprehensive post by Rajnak here on how to use this command line utility to set the properities of people-picker object.
