Cause

The most likely cause of this issue is that the URI to your Windows Sharepoint Services administration web service (SharepointAdminUri) is incorrect in the Team Foundation Server TfsIntegration database.

Resolution



Confirm your SharepointAdminUri entry using the TFSAdminUtil.exe ConfigureConnections command. You run this command on the Team Foundation Server application tier machine from a Command Prompt in the \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server\Tools directory. Typical output looks like this (produced by TFSAdminUtil.exe from TFS 2008 SP1):


TfsAdminUtil - Team Foundation Admin Utility

There is no current VSTS client certificate configured.  This is not an error condition.
Current value for ATUri               = http://TFServer:8080
There is no current setting for PublicATUri.  This is not an error condition.
Current value for SharepointUri       = http://TFServer:80
Current value for SharepointSitesUri  = http://TFServer:80/sites
Current value for SharepointAdminUri  = http://TFServer:17012/_vti_adm/admin.asmx
Current value for SharepointUnc       = \\TFServer\sites
Current value for ReportsUri          = http://TFServer/Reports
Current value for ReportServerUri     = http://TFServer/ReportServer/ReportService.asmx
Current value for Team System Web Access Work Item Editor    =
Current value for Team System Web Access Changeset Details    =
Current value for Team System Web Access Difference    =
Current value for Team System Web Access View    =




In cases where the errors details earlier are occurring, it is likely that the SharepointAdminURI is incorrect... like this, for example: Current value for SharepointAdminUri  = http://TFServer:17012/_vti-adm/admin.asmx/_vti_adm/admin.asmx

To resolve this problem, correct the bad URIs using the TFSAdminUtil.exe ConfigureConnections command.
