KNOWN ISSUE: Microsoft.Pcw.currituck fails with error: "Access Denied: Not a system user"

  • Article

Problem: Initialization for plugin "Microsoft.Pcw.currituck" failed with error: "Access Denied: Not a system user". This error has a similar root cause as the issue described in this Ask Burton FAQ item: Q: What can cause SyncWithAD_Lookup to fail when creating a new team project?. In this release, the user principal name (UPN) must match the primary e-mail address for the user in Active Directory.

For example, the TFSSetup account in a domain named Contoso (CONTOSO\TFSSetup) would have a UPN and primary e-mail address similar to: TFSSetup@contoso.com.

Workaround:  Ensure the UPN and primary e-mail address are the same for Team Foundation users.

Applicability: Visual Studio 2005 Team System December 2004 CTP
