Back up and restore in wss 3.0 - tfs

I have wss3.0 installed and have integrated Team foundation server with it.
I am facing difficulty during recovery.
When i try to create a new Team Foundation Project(as a part of recovery steps) in Visual Studio for installed Team foundation server, it throws following error:
An unexpected error occurred: TF50309: The following account does not have suffi
cient permissions to complete the operation: xyz\abc. Check the permissio
ns for the account and grant the appropriate permissions to perform this operati
on.
Can someone please help on this.
Note:
1) I have changed the Identity Attribute in application pool, it doesnt works.
2) Visual Studio is running with administrator rights.
3) logged on user is having administrator rights.

Do you have rights on the sharepoint site collection to create a new site?

Azure DevOps Server 2019/2020 Access Levels Page Not Found

I am running Azure DevOps Server 2019 cu7. When I click on the Access Levels link at the Project Collection level, I get a page not found error for ../_admin/_licenses. I then upgraded my development farm to ADO Server 2020, and still have the same issue.
The app pool accounts are both System and I have added the System account to the iis_iusrs group.
Also, i get a page not found error when trying to hit the/_api/licenses/export api to try to get around the page not found error when using a browser.
It seems that you do not have the permission Edit Instance-level information
Steps:
Open Azure DevOps Server Administration Console->click the option Application Tier->click the button Administer Security->select [Team Foundation]\Team Foundation Valid Users and ensure the permission Edit instance-level information is set the allow. Then we could check the Access Levels page.
Result:
The permission is set to Deny
The permission is set to Allow

TFS 2017 TF31002

Apparently we have a configuration issue with TFS 2017 11.0.60315.1
The team project collection(s) are online, but I get TF31002 error when I try to connect from my client AND the server. e.g. click "Change URLs" and "Test"
I also get HTTP code 404: Not Found when I click "Group Membership" or "Administer Security" from the Application Tier.
I cannot add a picture so... here is a transcript:
Error Encountered
TF31002: Unable to connect to this Team Foundation Server:
http://myserver:8080/tfs
Team Foundation Server Url: http://myserver:8080/tfs.
Possible reasons for failure include:
- The name, port number, or protocol for the Team Foundation Server is incorrect.
- The Team Foundation Server is offline
- The password has expired or is incorrect
Technical information (for administrator):
The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.
I have tried changing the Service Account & password
I have clicked Reapply Account
I have tried changing the Authentication Settings
When I click Group Membership or Administer Security, I get the 404 error
I have tried changing the URL
a. http://myserver:8080/tfs/defaultcollection
b. http://myserver:80//
c. http://myserver:8080
d. http://(ipaddress):8080/tfs
e. http://localhost:8080/tfs
The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.
If you are using http://localhost:8080/tfs url and still get (404) Not Found. Then this kind of issue may related to IIS side.
First check IIS logs, if there are some useful information.
Go to IIS manager to check the TFS bindings should be such as below:
If you look into IIS manager, application pools, under TFS app pool, what identity TFS appPool is using? If you see it is set as “ApplicationPoolIdentity” instead of networkService or a domain account for TFSservice,
Try below cause and resolution and see if that could solve the issue:
Cause:
The ApplicationPoolIdentity account did not have permissions on the content folder.
Resolution:
Set the permission for the Application Pool Identity (which is a virtual account) on the folder where the content is located.
The steps to do so are:
Right click on your Site/Application in IIS Manager and select Edit
Permissions.
Under Security tab click Edit, then Add. Enter "IIS AppPool\", ensure that location is set to the local computer, and
select Check Names.
Allow this user to have modify permissions.

Besides, you could also take a look at this similar issue here: TFS 2010 RC, getting 404 on http://localhost:8080/tfs
Check if it's also UrlScan installed and that blocked your tfs site.

Unable to create new Team Project - TF30170 and TF249061

We recently ungraded and moved TFS from 2013 update 4 to TFS 2015 Update 1. When trying to create a new Team Project we keep getting the error below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Error
TF30170: The plugin Microsoft.ProjectCreationWizard.Reporting failed
during task Populate Reports from group Reporting.
Explanation
Plugin error text: “TF249061: You cannot access the
following report item: /Tfs2010OlapReportDS. Access was denied because
your account does not have one or more permissions required to access
this item.”
User Action
Contact your Team Foundation Server administrator.
The issue turned out to be that the current service account had access to all the data sets except for Tfs2010OlapReportDS. To grant access to that I had to log into the report manager and grant access to service account using the old service account that was used on the previous installation of TFS.

Force password expiry has screwed Team System 2008 - how do I fix it?

Ok, once again a forced password expiry has inadvertently screwed with our TFSSERVICE and other TFS accounts, so Team System (2008) no longer works. I've picked my way through all the steps I can think of to fix the issue, and I have one issue remaining:
Here are my steps so far:
On any machine on the domain change the password for domain accounts TFSSERVICE and DEVBUILDSERVER. Note the new passwords.
On the Team Foundation Server
• Update the login password for Team Foundation Server Task Scheduler service and restart the service. (TFSSERVICE account)
• Update identity password for the application pool Microsoft Team Foundation Server Application Tool, and restart it. (TFSSERVICE account)
• Execute the command "TFSADMINUTIL changepassword domain\TFSSERVICE newpassword".
• Via a browser connect to the reporting services website (http://<TFSxx>/reports) and update the password for the TfsReportDS and the TfsOlapReportDS data sources.
On the build agent update the password for the TFSBUILD service, update the login password for the SQLEXPRESS service, and restart both services. (DEVBUILDSERVER account).
However although source control and CI builds now work, when I look at a project portal I see the following:
Remaining Work
Report Generated: 12/01/2015 13:34:32 by AS\neil; Last Warehouse Update: 28/10/2014 13:59:48
How much work is left and when will it be done?
No data matches the parameters specified.
whereas I should be seeing a graph.
What vital step have I overlooked?
TIA

Windows Service user account trouble for TFSBuildServiceHost.exe

Experienced a very strange problem today on our TFS2010 build server. Suddenly the build service failed for no apparent reason. We´re been trouble shooting it all day, but still haven´t found the reason yet.
One of the problems is that the build service is (or should!) running under an AD user called tfs2010build. However when I try to start the service, i get the following error
Service cannot be started. Microsoft.TeamFoundation.TeamFoundationServerUnauthorizedException: TF30063: You are not authorized to access http://tfs2010:8080/tfs/default. ---> System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.
When I look in the event log on the TFS2010 server, I see that the failed authentication is registered for a user called TFS2010Install, which was used to install everything. I´ve tripple checked and the service is specified as to be running under TFS2010Build.
Log from TFS2010 server:
Account For Which Logon Failed:
Security ID: NULL SID
Account Name: TFS2010INSTALL
Account Domain: LC
So my question is how is this possible. COuld the user TFS2010Build some how be impersonated by TFS2010Install? I
ve tried to install an additional build server and here there´s no problem starting the service under the user TFS2010Build - hence it is not a problem with AD or TFS user rights.
Hope you guys can help out!

!!New Update
I've managed to get the Build service to run under the TFS2010Build user account (which was actually the initial state, when the problem started). When I queue builds to this controller and agent, i get the follwing in the build log:
TF215097: An error occurred while initializing a build for build definition \PlanteIT_MarkOnline_Scrum\CI_Main_FieldOnlineClient: TF215106: Access denied. LC\TFS2010INSTALL needs Update build information permissions for build definition CI_Main_FieldOnlineClient in team project PlanteIT_MarkOnline_Scrum to perform the action. For more information, contact the Team Foundation Server administrator.
It still insist that TFS2010Install user account is running the service, despite that TFS2010Build is used for the build service. Any ideas?
This is a stab in the dark, can you try clear the TFS client cache and your internet cache on your troubled build machine under the Tfs2010Build account? I've never seen this issue before but maybe some stale cached TfsProjectCollection object with TFS2010Install authentication stayed around and caused problems.
Have you also tried reconfigure your build machine?
To unconfigure:
tfsconfig.exe setup /uninstall:TeamBuild
and reconfigure through the wizard.
I will try once more ..., step by step :-)
FACT: When you register your build controller to a TFS project collection, being logged-in as TFS2010Build, an authentication dialog pops-up. This means that the TFS server does not accept TFS2010Build as an account that can be used to connect to your default collection on the TFS server.
FACT: When you register your build controller to a TFS project collection, being logged-in as TFS2010Install, no authentication dialog pops-up. This means that the TFS server does accept TFS2010Install as an account that can be used to connect to your default collection on the TFS server.
Apparently, because in both 1 and 2 your build controller is registered using the TFS2010Install account to the TFS server, either the controller or the server remembers these credentials and uses them to connect to the TFS server collection when the build controller is started, despite the fact that the service itself is running under the TFS2010Build account. This is a plausible situation and impersonation happens often this way for services. Maybe some TFS techie can either confirm or deny this behavior.
The question that remains for me: Why does the the default collection on the TFS server not accept the TFS2010Build account as a valid administrator?
Potential causes:
Read Jim Lamb's answer.
Something is wrong with the domain registration of the system or user used to connect the controller to the collection on the TFS server.
Fastest way to rid of the problem: Continue to install the secondary server that does not seem to have the problem, potentially experiment with using the TFS2010Build from this secondary server to see if the problem also occurs there.
A long aswer, but hopefully it gives you a big push in the right direction.
Sorry to hear that you're having problems getting this to work. Here are a couple of things you can check/try:
Make sure that the TFS2010Build user account is a member of the "Build Services" group in the TFS project collection you've associated it with.
If you install and configure the build service while logged in as a user who is a member of the Project Collection Administrators group on the associated project collection and is also a member of the local Administrators group on the build machine, all of the requisite permissions and other configuration will generally be set for you.
So, to summarize, the user configuring the build machine should be a member of the project collection administrators group and a member of the local administrators group. And, the user account the build machine is running as should be a member of the project collection's "build services" group.
