I just installed TFS 2013 and I am having trouble creating a new team project integrated with SharePoint 2013. The problem arises during the final step of creating a new team project from Visual Studio 2013. I get the following error: TF218017: A SharePoint site could not be created for use as the team project portal. The following error ocured: Server was unable to process request. ---> The user does not exist or is not unique.---> The user does not exist or is not unique.
I have found a few other posts with folks encountering this same error but the proposed solution is always to change the authentication mode in SharePoint to classic which is not available in SP 2013.
In any case this seems to be permissions related. However, it is a little baffling due the fact that when I created a new TFS Project collection using the TFS Admin console it created a new site collection in SharePoint with no issues. I don't understand how my permissions would allow me to create a site collection but not place sites under the site collection.
Here are some details about my setup:
- TFS 2013 running on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
- SharePoint 2013 Foundation (separate server within same domain as TFS server)
- TFS Service account is a Site collection admin on the SharePoint site collection
- My AD account is a Site Collection admin on the SharePoint site Collection
- TFS Service account is a Farm Admin in SharePoint
- My AD account is a Farm Admin in SharePoint
- The TFS2013 Server is also a Farm Admin in SharePoint
I am out of ideas here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
- Jim
