Changing the trust level in the web.config files <trust level> element to any level other than Full will cause Team Foundation Server installaiton to fail with a 28925 error. The change to the "root" web.config file causes all ASP.NET applications to attempt to run at the trust level specified. TFSServerStatusValidator application requires Full Trust and fails if any level less than full is specified. Resolution Set the trust level to Full Trust to apply to Team Foundation Server Applications. Preferred method: An entry can be added to the web.config file located in ([Team Foundation Program Files Folder]\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server\Web Services) that applies only to Team Foundation Server Applications. Add to System.web node: <trust level="Full" originUrl="" /> Alternative: This can also be done in the root level web.config for all .NET 2.0 services.
