i have accidentally deleted data from table account_external_ids. Now my gerrit is in unstable position. There is no more administrator in it. now i can not open gsql as i don't have any user with "access database" privilege. what should i do now?
Set auth.type = DEVELOPMENT_BECOME_ANY_ACCOUNT in etc/gerrit.conf, this is a setting designed for development where you can just add new accounts. See docs.

I've encountered a strange thing...
I created a new project, with Individual account authentication authentication which creates a
DefaultConnection in Web.config.
I've also configured an oracle database connection, and commented the DefaultConnection.
Then I've registered a new user and data was saved in a hidden .mdf file that
was showed in App_Data after I've pressed "Show All Files" button in
Visual Studio.
I've deleted that .mdf file, Clean Solution, Build solution, Run project again -> login with same data and login still working
I'm very confused where did the app get's login data if no database exists with that info. Is it storing in another place that I don't know about?
It might be attached to local Db instance. Check Server Explorer to find if that is the case.If yes then you can delete the database from there.
I've found it eventually. Best way to make sure you see all databases on local device is to go to (in Visual Studio): View -> SQL Server Object Explorer -> Add SQL Server -> here you add all available servers (in my case was on my hostname\SQLEXPRESS)
I am using TFS 2013 and I am trying to customize a workitem template using the ProcessEditor form (I also tried to do the same using the editing and importing xml file),I am trying to add a "ReadlOnly" rule to a field only for some new TFS global group, so I added the new Group and after that I could see and select the newly added Group from the "For" dropdown but when I am trying to save the changes I always got the error "The account you entered is not recognized. Contact your Team Foundation Server administrator to add your account" I googled the error and found a suggestion here http://www.databaseforum.info/30/943697.aspx that it may be a caching issue so I waited days for this and restarted the client and the TFS server machines but without any luck although I can use old created groups without any issues however if I renamed one of these old groups then tried to use it I still got the same error message no matter I add the new groups as a member of any other group.
First, make sure your TFS admin not have done any security changes (adding account or groups or permissions) for your account.
If not, you could try below two possibilities to narrow down the issue:
Check if you had added a field that contained backslashes as values
and TFS may interpreted it as user account. For example if your field
contained a list of suggested values that looked like this: Category
1\Subcategory 1
When you add a value such as
<TRANSITION from="Resolved" to="Complete" for="[project]AllTesters" not="[project]NewTesters">
</TRANSITION>
you should not extend the project to [your project name]AllTesters, should just use [project]AllTesters
For more detail info and ways, please refer below similar issues:

Warnings TF26171 and TF26204 during WIT import
Here is the thing, I left it for couple of days and when I returned to it I found everything is working like a charm, I added now some new groups and couldn't see them so I guess I will wait some days for it to work!
the issue was the service agent job that was responsible on syncing the AD changes with the tfs was stopped, everything worked fine when I started it
I've got an issue where users that are disabled in Active Directory are still appearing in a Team Project Collection in Team Foundation Server 2013. This is a problem because any projects that are within the collection have these users inherited and are visible when assigning work items, etc.
These users in the screenshot below are all disabled and none of which are a part of any group or groups on TFS.
Specifically these users:
Kumar
Carl
Mishra
Bertram
Shah
Rajendran
Arora
It would also be nice to hide these users:
Network Service
Sharepoint account
Local Server Account (******-DEV1$)
I have tried the following:
Removing [Built-In]\Administrators group as per instructions here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/15640409/559988
Clearing the TFS data cache and restarting IIS as per instructions here: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/31487b77-8a1a-4b1f-8cdb-8f3528a3a389/tfs-2013-user-management
Verified the users are disabled in Active Directory
Verified the disabled users are not apart of any groups in Active Directory
Verified Active Directory sync is working (added a new user and it appeared just fine).
Has anyone else had this issue with disabled users appearing in TFS 2013 or know how to resolve it?
Thank you
This phenomenon is correct. The disabled user in Active Directory will still appear in TFS. Since these users are imported from AD, and belong windows group, so you can't delete these from security page. TFS server will automatically sync from the AD.
You may need to manually delete the users instead of disable the users in Active Directory .
Update
You can't hide the user in security. If you are get annoyed with these users when assigning work items. You can filter the user which you want to display in work item drop list. Please see my answer in this question: TFS-2015 limiting user list for detailed step.
After trying everything in Patrick's post above I am unable to resolve this issue.
This issue also remains unresolved in a similar post here: How do I remove a user from tfs?
The only way I was able to partially-resolve this was by upgrading from TFS 2013 to TFS 2015. The users still appear in the Project Collection users group, but no longer appear in the Team Project as options for work items, etc.
It's unclear why this is the way it is.
I am setting up TFS 2012 Express.
I have restored the code into the databases from our previous server and went into the 'Team Project Collections' screen in TFS Server Express Administration Console.
I stopped the collection, edited it and saved it. Now the screen is locked saying "Updating Project Collection Properties". The only way I can stop it is to kill the console in the Task Manager.
However, if I do then when I rerun it the collection cannot be started unless I finish the config. If I open, edit and try resaving it then I get the same progress bar with the caption "Updating Project Collection Properties" which does not ever seem to complete?
I have tried rebooting the PC but that has not changed anything.
Has anyone else seen this?
If the properties don't have to be updated, find this table 'dbo.tbl_ServicingJobDetail' in database 'Tfs_Configuration', then remove the relevant data line which column 'Result' is 'Null'.
Another solution that has not be validated: try to check the user 'NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE' on database 'Tfs_Configuration' whether or not to have the correct authority, then restart 'TFSJobAgent' service.

I tried, the first solution above is incorrect, the second is correct, try to check the 'NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE' user is addin to the SQL Server instance.
Consider the scenario of a user creating a new Team Project. The user is a developer who wants to create and manage their Team Project.
Why can't this user create a new Team Project, including the Reporting Services components?
What can be done to resolve this error?
The exception is
TF218027: the following reporting folder could not be created on the server running SQL Reporting Services.
SQL Reporting services is running under an Active Directory service account created expressly for this purpose.
The developer attempting this action is a member of a TFS group with the following permissions.
The workaround way that I implemented was to ensure the developer was in a group that had 'Content Manager' permissions in the SQL Reporting Services.
I simply added the appropriate AD group in the textbox, and the operation worked perfectly.
First I visited the SSRS page at http://myServer/TFS/Reports/MyCollection
Enter the "New Role Assignment" screen.
I actually blogged about this not too long ago. You usually see this error if Reporting Services gets set up with something other than the NETWORK SERVICE account.
FTA:
I was playing around with my test
instance of Team Foundation Server
today, trying to create a new project,
when I got error TF218027 when it
tried to create the Reporting Services
folder for the project. The strange
thing was, this was not my first
project created on this server.
I searched the Internet for anything
similar, and found a post that said
Reporting Services should be run with
the NETWORK SERVICE account. Since
this was a hastily put together
server, I was running it with the
Administrator account, so I tried
switching it over.
No dice. I got the same TF218027
error, but this time it was due to it
not being able to decrypt the
symmetric keys. Apparently, it's a
bad thing to change the account on the
Reporting Services service.
I hastily changed the account back to
Administrator and resarted the
service. Interestingly enough, this
seems to have fixed the problem.
I just run throught the same issue. I granted the user rights in SharePoint, TFS, and Report Server. And still I was getting the same error message. Then I realized something. I added that user to the Report Server's local administrator's group. It worked! Hopefully this help you out.
