When installing TFS Server 2010 on my server, I'm asked to provide the service account as below screenshot. I've tried sa and NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE account with admin password provided when installing SQL Server but all failed.

If you have any workaround for me, please share!

You need to use a valid user (non-system) account, such as yours, per the instruction on the page. You cannot use the system accounts, such as NETWORK SERVICE, here.

  • Ah, hello Duat! So nice to see you here! I've used `Administrator` tool and it works. Thank you! Some suggestion: It would be nice to have a box to choose users. – Nam G VU May 24 '11 at 05:51
  • Good to see you too Nam ;) The wizard exists before TFS is configured so you would have to get the list from the machine (unlike the dropdown list of users on a workitem). It's probably possible but it wouldn't have the same codepath like other places in TFS. – Duat Le May 25 '11 at 01:07
