Cause

This happens if the TFSServerScheduler.exe.config and Web.config (under the webservices directory) has an incorrect value for “TFSNameUrl”.

Resolution

The value for “TFSNameUrl” should be in the format ‘https://servername:portnumber’. The port number is important.

Steps:

1) On the application tier server, browse to the Web.config file under ‘<drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server\Web Services’

2) Open the file on a notepad

3) Search for TFSNameUrl

4) Modify the value section

E.g.: <add key="TFSNameUrl" value="https://servername:8080/" />

5) Save and close the file

6) Do the same steps (2 till 5) for the file TFSServerScheduler.exe.config under ‘<drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server\TFSServerScheduler’ folder.
